Having a lot of debt on the project, I swallowed the biggest pill ever and put my car up for sale. I regret having had to part with it on a daily basis. It'll be a tough car to top in the future. In retrospect I know I made the right choice but I really want to have a car to enjoy with him now that it's obvious that he's inherited the "car genes". I'm 40 today.... anyone want to give up an "extra" car as a birthday gift?

Here's a picture of him shorty after his birth in 2006. Can you tell he likes cars?

Happy Birthday!!!! My 40th theme was "I see old people"... my wife even had black napkins and a banner made that said it in big white letters! LOL
