Bringing Them Up Right
Today I needed to move my 65 Catalina to get a 2000 V6 Mercury Cougar into garage so that I can fix a blown head gasket. I have not started the old girl in probably year.  My ten year or son Zach came out and wanted to help. I charged the battery, poured a little gas down the carb and she fired right up. I backed it out of the way and just left it idling to let the battery charge while I pulled the other car into the garage. Zach followed me back over to the Catalina. I took him behind the car and said just listen. We listened to that sweet sound of Pontiac via dual exhaust. I explained to him that this is what cars are supposed to sound like. I told him to hop in so that we could pull back up to the garage. Once he got in he didn't just want to go thirty feet, he wanted to go for a ride. So I took him for a quick spin. He had a big ole grin on his face and he yelled out "this is cool!". I love that kid.
