Default Starting them early!

I just thought I would share some car show pics from earlier this year - I put my 8 month old in the corvette for a little while because the wind was FRIGID, and I couldnt help but take some pics of him playing

Great looking car and a great looking little boy. Seems to be a happy little guy.

Is he saying "Mine, mine, all mine"

That is awesome! You should tell him not to down-shift with those RPM's though...

Great times!

I know that 8 mo. old can't speak yet....but I would swear that he was asking for the keys!!

When my [autistic] grandson was 4 years old, I asked him if he wanted to go for a ride in the "blue car". He went wild with joy! So, I put his car seat on the passenger side and he immediately started crying! I asked what was wrong, and he said "I wanna drive!!!"

Awesome.

To be honest, I was wondering what was wrong with you at first.

Skimmed the text and went straight to the pics.

Was wondering why your son was wearing a coat when it most likely the same temp in OK as it is in KS....105 (heat index)

I figured it out.

Can't wait for my little guy (19 mos) to get his turn. Car has been in storage for a few years and just came home.
