And eventually you can combine them. Believe me, there’s nothing more heart-warming than contemplating a wet autocross course with your teenage daughter and having her ask: “Think we should try a handbrake turn over there?”

So now when people ask me why I don’t have kids, I can tell them I have project cars!

In reply to Warlock :
That’s awesome. I hope I can get my kid interested someday, too.

Can totally attest to scope creep and budget issues.

But you can only sell one.

Neither of my two kids ever really got into cars. I tried, but the gasoline gene seems to have passed over them.
So, my theory is that it’s merely dormant in their generation, and will become dominant in my Grandson. To that end, I’ve provided him with various stimuli that will hopefully awaken the gearhead sleeping within. Hot Wheels? Check. Cool stroller? Check. Modified wagon to roll him around car shows? Check. PowerWheels of various levels of voltage/wattage/drivetrain configurations/suspension lifts/etc? Check.
Hung on to my son’s Honda TRX70 for the last 25 years (still runs), just in case.

A touching read, Colin.

You see a lot of bumper stickers to the effect of “my dogs/cats/geese/ferrets/animals ARE my children” or something similar.
But if you have kids, you know that children are the animals.
