Default Journey vs. Destination

Nothing like getting your dad on the creeper...



He's no mechanic, but I love having him in the room. :yesnod:

:cheers:

I used to go over to my Dads and change oil and different little things. After he passed, it never was the same over there.

Yeah I think I turned my dad into an addict too. We are both learning as much as we can about vettes as fast as we can. Its almost a race at our house. I love it and wouldnt trade it for the world.

The only kick back from doing all this work on the vette recently. Is he now has me roped in for work on the rest of the family's cars. Which for a long while we weren't doing. God knows why??? :confused: ...

When hes down there on the creeper just start taking a leak on him and ask him where thats coming from. He'll laugh his butt off... or beat yours like the good ole days! :jester
