Justin has made up his mind... he loves the classics! I answered dozens of questions, (he never runs out) about what kind of car it is, and what all can we do to it. It's not a video game, or computer program. It's not even a TV show, although plenty have been made, it is something that WE will do TOGETHER.
Jena has already shown her ability with painting the badging on her dad's 65 Cyclone, and the girls love the thought of doing anything to help. Justin though wants to get his hands dirty and is excited about it! He hasn't been this excited about anything other than video games before, and I love it! He liked the thought of the 86 Mercury Capri, but he sees the similarity between it and "Grandaddy's Cyclone" and now wants to have a real Hot Rod.
The girls will always love cars, they come by it honestly. They are FoMoCo fans because daddy and granddaddy are. They don't care what condition they're in, they just love cars. We can't ride down the road without one of them yelling "MUSTANG" as we play our road game looking for them.
But Justin genuinely wants this to be something for us. After seeing Monty for the first time Saturday, he didn't mention a video game or app for his iPod touch. He asked about paint colors, motor options, and when we could get started. I remember handing wrenches to my dad and learning the basics, working on the "Little Red Jeep" with Daddy Don , and the many hours I have spent with JL out in the shop. Those are precious memories.
I can't wait to start making those kind of memories with my kids.
