Who has children that help them in the garage?

They both help out when they can. The girl helps with rebuilding engines and painting assembly line markings and the boy helps me with the small car stuff and anything involving hammers. In exchange I help him build ringers for Pinewood Derby. That's him yelling "First Again!" Check out how the car pulls at the top end. (It's the yellow convertible and it was underweight, too, at 4.8 ounces.) He is dangerous with a can of spray paint, though.

Man, I was embarrassed with the derby car I built this year. I might have to farm out my next car to you..

Almost three years ago I managed to have my son's 7th grade science teacher aprove an engine swap as an acredited "internal combustion engine" project. we photographed the entire procedure and attached the pictures to poster board to display at the school with all the other projects. The teacher was skeptical to say the least that we actually did any of this work (in just three weeks) from just the photos.
So I gave my son the nasty old intake manifold to bring in and abandon it in school. The teacher wanted to see the car so I drove it to school without hood and exhaust for show and tell. He got an "A" on the project.

He has little interest in this car and would like an El Camino. Sadly he would rather play video games than get dirty working on equipment. His older sisters were good for a car wash now and then.

My wife and I have two girls 10 and 5. They both love playing in the garage and going on cruises. Sydnie my oldest
enjoys going to the track and taking pictures of all of the different cars. Camille tries to help out where she can but really enjoys going on long drives through the foothills with the windows down and wind blowing in her hair...

My youngest son helps sometimes. Occasionally we let him paint something and hope he doesn't run it to much.

I was waiting for some wise ass comment.

My 8 year old granddaughter Savannah asked Grandma Nancy "Do you think when Grandpa dies he will leave me his racecar?".

She thinks my '02 ZL1 is a racecar.

Grandma told her that she would have to talk to her Uncle Dusty as it goes to him after Grandpa dies.

I am not planning on leaving it to anyone soon.
