how old where you when you first work on a car

True story! When I was 4 years old I got a toolbox with plastic tools for my birthday my mom had moved us to Vegas we were living in some apartments. I was caught under the back bumper of a car as it drove away. Another hide tanning ... One of my first real endeavors was to bring back to life an old motor that my granddad had on a drag saw in the back of his pole barn. I think I was probably 11, he said get it running and you could use it for your go-kart ambitions. Couple days later when he came home I wrapped the starter cord around that flywheel and fired it up. That motor had been sitting probably 20 years . I can still remember the look of amazement on my grandfather's face.
