My son, the lil hot rodder

I keep seeing these posts on here about how the youngin's just aren't "into the hobby"
Well ladies and gents, for your approval is this video of my 4 year old son taking his second ride (in a row, I couldn't even get video fo the first one because he was so excited he coulnd't do anything but giggle and say "imma go REALLY FAST!")

Bit of a back story, for those that don't know, I have 2 old cars that I work on almost every day, a '55 Desoto Firedome and a '64 Mercury Marauder. The kid actually helps with what he can, which is usually turning the key off or handing me tools. I recently starting dating a fella that has his own collection/yard full of cars.

We pulled "the green car" out today because we're swapping engines on it tomorrow and the kid went ballistic begging to take a ride in it.

..Seriously..how could we say no?

This is the only image I got of the kid on the first ride, look closely and you can see a huge grin on his face


Also, here's the video. Ignore the front yard, there's a thievin junk yard dog here named Leroy that likes to snag random things and car parts from other folk's yards.

You may want to turn your volume down a little bit, my phone apparently has a crazy mic on it.

That's the way to do it - start them young!!

The Rock

 

It's been a little over an hour since he went and he just now calmed down about talking about it.
I think he's hooked

 

You should be proud of him. Congrats

Thanks for sharing Lizzie. Nothing like teaching them young.
My wife went by Lizzie when I was a trucker and had CB radio. But that's nuther story.
Good luck with your son and hotrod boyfriend. Maybe you can train ole Leroy to bring home complete cars.
