The irony here is that it seems we came up in a very similar way and share many of the same views. My kids do not have Candy asses and work for what they get. The one place we may differ is I learned a lesson that many don't until it is too late. That is that life is fragile and short. Again the car will not be a daily driver it is a hobby car, a hobby that we can enjoy together. He will be able to drive the car in appropriate situations for his skill set. The reality is the car will still be way more mine than his for now but slowly be given to him over time. Thanks all for the complimentary posts. Sam I don't see any Supers in your list anymore "What's up with that"?

Sold them. I'm looking for a 2284 or an 1864. At the moment I have enough toys.

I think it's cool your giving him the car. I do understand the safety concerns, you seem to have that covered.
When my (3) kids reached driving age, I always helped them "build" their car / truck. How nice it turned out was up to them and how hard they wanted to work on it. I kept a whiteboard in the shop, (it's still there today!) Tasks that they needed to complete were listed out, they could see how far it would be to the end of the project. My youngest watched the older two, he really seemed to learn from watching how thiers went. Here is a few pictures of his truck; (OBTW; I paid for his college, first 4 years, he is now an engineer for GM) Mine and his together; |

Looks like a couple of nice trucks despite the fact that they are GM. LOL

The time we spent together building his was priceless. He's moving into his own condo, engaged to get married 2017. That truck may be gone, but the memories from building it, fixing it and taking it to car shows, will live on for a long time. |

Nice looking Mustang and trucks. It's very special that you each have something to share with your sons.
MWShaw....since your son is an engineer at GM and obviously has hands on experience which would lead to common sense designs....could you have him find the obviously non-hands on engineer that designed the headlight bulb replacement strategy on my wife's acadia and smack him upside the head for me?!?!?! Replacing a bulb should not include removing the plastic wheel well and blood on your forearms! |

He's currently driving a 2012 Chevy Sonic Turbo, we are putting a new water pump in it next weekend, that is up near the top of his bitch list. (No, it is not covered under warranty, it has a rebuilt title, just as all my other vehicles do.) My older son and Daughter both have Acadias as well, looks like a fun job. |

Quite different than the 03 silverado which takes 30 seconds and no tools from topside.

Had to pull bumper and headlight to replace high beam bulbs on the spouse's Mazda.

Nice Mustang and trucks. My daughter and I bought a 1990 Mustang GT 5.0 5 speed in 2000. Still have it. It's a nice weather weekend only car. Let her drive it at the track once. Boy did I catch heck from the grand parents.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
