Owned by 17 year old!

I'd like to thank all of you for the compliments and kind words. I like to think I'm a pretty cool dad, but it takes pretty cool kids to pull it off. My kids are 32, 17 and 16 and all three are great fun and each one is totally different in their own way. Being a car guy all my life and having had some real clunkers along the way, one of my goals was to make sure my kids had nice older cars that they could be proud of and hopefully one of them would inherit my love of cool cars. Well, guess what, my 16 year old daughter seems to be the one. She's a real girl and starting to like the boys (she's on her first date ever tonight!), but one of her greatest pleasures is going to a car dealer and looking at the latest models and coyly humiliating the sales person with questions about features such as horsepower, etc that she's already researched on the internet. She's hopelessly in love with the new smaller BMW SUV but says shes' gonna stick with her silver '98 CRV for a while (hopefully until she gets a really good job!). When we bought the CRV, the first thing she wanted me to do is paint the wheels gun metal gray and add a larger chrome tip to the muffler, LOL.

awesome, I really owe everything to my father. I have to older brothers that are 35 and 32, i'm 22. I'm the only one that really caught the bug. I still remember the first car show I ever had to go to with OUT a stroller :D





Congrats on your daughter, it's fun seeing girls into it. In high school I dated a girl that restored a 66 mustang. I landed myself another good one that knows how to turn a wrench. I came outside the other weekend and she was changing the oil on both of our cars :up





your son is nutty, I just took my acura into the body shop to get the final touches on my new paint job done, and I went to my parents to borrow a car and I took my dads C5 w/o question and even waxed it for him :D
 
Nice work on the Prelude. I've always love that Honda. The grass looks a little shabby though. Could use some trimming.
 
hahaha

wow...

turned down the 'vette!

Crazy!



BTW, there should be more girls like your daughter in this world. Its amazing how many highschool age girls have NO clue about cars or computers....the TWO things that i realy love...hahaha

Thats awsome though.....but shame on your son for rejecting the 'vette!





EDIT: BTW, the problem isnt that they are clueless, but more that they have no interest......
