All True.

My boys will sit for a few seconds and then want to go do something else. But when they show a little bit of desire, we will have basic TOOLS AND THEIR USES day. You cannot force it on them or they will hate it. 8 and 10 they just discovered CARS last month.

Hot Wheels and Matchbox (which are hard to find, but Hot Wheels all over the place) They dream of GTO's, HEMI CUDA's, 69 Camaro's, and Shelby Cobra's, just to name a few.

My son was so excited tuesday night he called me at work to tell me he found a red Grand Torino! How cool is that?

I am not a great mechanic, but I defiantly love to "Maintain" If the guy in the Video lived near me,,,, I would have my kids apprenticed out in a heartbeat! (oh god forbid a 10 yr old know how to use a power tool or be near a drill press to learn how to respect machines,,, just think of the liability!)

Ok off my

Nice post - I agree with his message but actually I found that inspiring - he's doing what he loves. That's infectious - maybe some kid will catch on.


Cheers, Richard

Thanks for that.

Definitely worth the few minutes to watch it, and well worth sharing. It's the spirit in the message. Hauntingly true. Sad.
