Cool story & you're a good sone
sounds like you have a great fathers too
It's a reverse deal with me (59) & mine, James is 36
(Navy man, he is, he's never home or on dry land hardly either)
I have the cool old hopped up cars,
he has a Jap crap box, it's what he wanted,
2000 (IIRC) Mitsubishi Eclipse, just after he enlisted
he still has it too
My nephew is a car guy, he's 15 years younger than me,
he's inheriting my RR ( I pretty much raised him)
if I still have it, when I bite it, take the big dirt nap
so are most my girls into automobiles, so are their hubby's
(Jeeps & 4x4's mostly, not really muscle cars)
they always want to go for rides when they come up
I'm far more tame now, than I use to be...
It's fun to see their faces,
they talk about a lot of my old cars they've rode in...
good memories
