Re: Surprising my 11 year old stepson with his 64 Chevy Longbed for Christmas
That is super cool, and hits home a bit. I, too, was car obsessed as a kid. I could tell the makes and a lot of the years of cars as they passed by on the roads when I was about 4. I didn't care about sports (or much else, really) except cars, trucks, or anything else motorized. I got a '58 Rambler for Christmas when I was about his age. I was also lucky enough to have a few older guys teach me a few things, but when I started prepping cars for paint, I found my calling. I was 12, and have been working in the car business ever since. I will be 40 next year, and it has been very good to me.
It is also cool that you are sharing your hobbies with him and being a dad. It takes a pretty big man to do that.
