Why we do this

Same goes for me. My 13 yr old son loves being able to tell anyone what we have been doing to "Our Car". Even if his interest starts to fade I still have the car and when he gets older he at least has working knowledge of cars and wont have to rely on other people to tell him what could be wrong if he has car trouble. The best part is the time we get 1 on 1 and the fun we have.
