If I let my 13 year old son he would sleep in my Nova. I never miss a Lacrosse, Football or Soccer game that they play and as long as it's nice they will always say "let's take the Nova".

For the boys I think it is a very valuable lesson to teach them the love of an automobile and how to respect the power...... and most of all being responsible and knowing when and where it is safe to use the power while having fun. Inevitably you'll always here the young kids say "go fast" or do a burnout" the must be taught that there is a time and a place and a busy road or a neighborhood is not the place. Teach them now and with Gods help they will always hear your words just before they try something stupid and put themselves or others in harms way...... God willing!

I also have two wonderful girls from my first marriage... Sasha is 24 and living in Japan for a year teaching conversational English at an American university... I guess being a military brat wore off on her even though she's not in the military. Megan, 19 is my youngest daughter and still my "baby girl". She's finishing up her sophomore year of college in Nebraska and will probably fight the boys for my Firebird when the time comes! I'm proud to say that my girls are level-headed, self-sufficient, successful Christian women. Now if I can only do as well with my boys... (c:]

I have 4kids. Oldes son Andrew (15) he is on a drivers permit. He wanted a Camaro like mine but all we found that we could afford at the time was a 68' Mustang $700.00. He is working on fixing it up. Then my daughter Brandee(13). Then from my second marriage is my son Cameron, I always wanted a son named Cameron (4) because it is like Camaro with an "N". My wife got a kick out of that. I won't tell her about the "E". Then I have a son Dallin (2). They all love helping me in the garage. We have some great memories working on the cars. I have always had full custody of my older kids.

I'll be 34 in July. Ryan just turned 3. We have another one due in November.

I think Ryan is a car guy already...

Youngest daughter is 15 and I havent started anything for her yet.

Wife and I started our family right after getting married. Now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. We never stopped doing what we do but having kids did slow us down some. I have alot of projects on hold due to taking care of my family in the meantime. Some I may never get too and thats ok too.

For you folks with younger kids raise em right. After about 13-14 you wont be able to change them, only slightly alter their course in life. Dont wait too long or youll miss being the "daddy".

Great pictures so far guys! Keep em comin!

Chris:cool:

My daughter is 2 and full of attitude already. She was flipping through an old car magazine the other day and sees a red 65 Chevelle convertible with the top down. She thinks its my Olds and comes running over to me picture in hand as mad as a 2YO can be and blurts out "WHERE'S MY CAR SEAT!!!" I almost fell out of my chair I laughed so hard.

Over the last month or so that the car has been apart she comes out to the garage every few days to check on it and gives me a look like... huhhh! Its still not fixed :rolleyes: I got my hands full in the future that is for sure. :lol:

I seems that I'm a little older than most of you folks. I'll be 58 this June and have 1 son (22), 3 daughters(31, 19, 16), and 2 granddaughters (3 anb 2). My son is really in to cars, but prefers rice burners. I'm working on him. He went with me on the Power Tour last year and we both had a great time. The attached picture is the two of us gassing up. We're going again this year and are really looking forward to it, except for the gas prices. This is a cool thread
