My wife says I am a 5 year old all the time...

Does that count?

HAHAHA!

Good to see Teens and early 20somethings getting into the hobby, it insures that there will be a next generation.

Well my daughter says she owns my Pace Car and apparently her Uncles C4 and her own C5! She is 5 now and really getting the bug. We had a grand opening for Ridemakerz in our mall (like build a bear) and she went to meet Chip Foose today.

I'm 38, but my wifes says she thinks I'm 2 - so if I average those out, I guess I'm really 20?

most "kids" who have a C3 (I have found) have bought the car themselves

the only help my parents gave me was the 2K I was missing to buy the car, I paied them back on Monday when I got my loans

I always hated it when people asked me how much "mommy and daddy paied"
