Explaining things underneath the truck to my son and teaching him how to change the oil. Also explaining to him the dumbest place to squeeze an oil filter into....damn engineers.

Ahhhhhhh.....making memories.

That's what it's all about... Too cute!

That's cool, and priceless. Mine is 16 and couldn't give a rat about turning wrenches. It's hard for me to understand.

Great way to bring up a child. Show them how things are done, how they can do them and they will be doing them the rest of their lives vs. relying on society to support them.

His little cousin thought it was hilarious:

Time well spent! The knowledge and relationship you foster now will pay huge dividends in the future. Nothing better than a man and his son spending time together---doing anything, hunting, fishing or working on trucks.

Due in June... So he'll be under the truck in July? lol congrats!
My wife's kids have no interest in cars. Breaks my heart. Makes me want one of my own! But not that bad... Lol

My grandson called to ask for help with his dead battery. I told him how to check the battery and how to jump it so he could get home. I called him later in the day and asked how things went---he said his Dad gave him his AAA card and they came and put a new battery in for him, so much for a teachable moment

My wife took it. I didn't even know until she surprised me with a text later in the day.

I wish you all the best keeping your boy interested in spending time with you. Mine was interested until it came time to go do ANYTHING, then something was more important.
Sure breaks my heart I can't teach him the lessons I learned from my dad. They are days I will NEVER forget.

Nice post crazy Pete. Brings me back to some good times.

My son is going on five. I can't do anything out in the garage without him being apart of it. I'd rather not have it any other way. Sometimes it's frustrating, but it's something that I remember my dad and I doing every weekend out in the garage. By the time I was a teenager, I knew how to build engines for the local drag strip, and the local circle track guys. I used to have all the torque specs and tolerances memorized. Man........ Were has time gone.

I wish my dad new more about cars. He is the guy who paid for oil changes. I've learned a lot on my own though. My 8 month old twin boys will get to learn plenty about all kinds of things. Keep up the good work. I love the picture of him under your truck with you.

I'm sure the day will come when he goes through the "you're so uncool" phase. I'm not looking forward to it.
