My boy joined the Order of the Gearhead

My 5yr old helped me change the oil on the wife's car. Marked him and told him he had joined the Order of the Gearhead.

 

Forgot the pics

 

Too cool. Though the oil will wash off, he's marked for life.

 

I apologize to my two Sons fairly often for infecting them with this love of cars. Instead of them taking after me and loving a hobby that involves tools that will hurt you and parts that will drain your bank account, I should have been a golfer.

Ah, on second thought, forget the golfing...........

My dad was a golfer, My uncle put the mark on me.

 

it begins!

 

Thanks guys. It was great to watch him jumping around after putting in the drain plug and screwing on the new filter. Greatest way to spend a Saturday morning.

 

cool picking up bad habits at that age lol

 

Was he psyched?

No one blessed me, I just kinda found it on my own.

My parents are still trying to figure out where it came from.

To bad...

Too cool!

I LOVE wrenching with my kids!

 

Same here.

Awesome that he helped you. Can't wait for my nephew and/or my niece to get old enough to join me in the garage to see if I can pass it on too.

 

Thats cool, Lemonhead! They are never too young to give the affliction! My parents weren't into cars so its hard to say how I got the illness at such an early age... guess I was born with oil on my face!

 

"That's my Boy"

 

He was completely psyched! Wanted to know if there was anything else we could do. He really liked to lay out the tools neatly and then learning what was everything. Gave him a ratchet and let him slide under to put in the drain plug and he was so excited to get to turn a wrench on a real car. He told me he had figured out that the air came in the front through the grill and then went out the tailpipe. We went to Krispy Kreme afterwards with oil under our fingernails and it was awesome.
