So I called in an "expert" on the first gen MR2 for some help getting the exhaust replaced, and the guy turned out to be a total baby! Lot's of whining and crying, but not very good with a wrench.

This is the guy I got working on my Escort. Don't worry, in a couple years they'll be less whiny and almost useful ;-)

Oh, are showing off the kids we keep locked in our basements? Let me get my camera.

Wow! Ya'll have great crews! My girls would have the wrenches in their mouths at that age.

Neither of mine are much for wrenching, but it's fun to have them running at the autocrosses. I get more excited about my 16 year old son in the MR2 and my 12 year old girl in a Jr. Kart than I do about my own runs now. So much fun to watch.

Great pics! Love it.

This picture is about 5 years old, but it still makes me smile.

Whenever I was out in the garage wrenching my son would grab his tool box and car, drag one of my ramps over, haul his car up onto the ramp (always just one ramp) and "work" on his car, too.

Don't laugh. The Little Tykes Cozy Coupe regularly outsells both the Camry and the Accord annually.

I started young. This is me at a Sprint event in 1969 discussing tactics and the correct racing line with my dad before he goes out for a run. Please note how he's wearing a nomex suit!!!

Here is my son inspecting my body work. Obviously not impressed...

Since she's a couple years older, my daughter is my tire warmer <img src="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" />
