I wanted kids for years but it never happened for me. Who knows...maybe it was better that way.
I wanted someone to benefit from my experiences. I've always been into cars and wished that I had a smart car guy to guide me when I was starting out. My Dad liked cars but was not into working on them. I feel that in many cases, guys get into cars because they are curious as to how stuff works. That is definitely the case with me. The design and engineering interests me. Some work on them because they couldn't afford to pay someone else to fix their stuff.
Do you have someone around to pass on your skills?
A buddy of mine works on stuff with his Son. They ***** and argue but they get stuff done. I used to work on stuff with my Brother many years ago. He moved on with family stuff. My Brother in Law has his 72 Duster here. Too bad he lives out of state!
