I can't be the only one who has done this. I decided to buy the kids a toy for once. Thanks craigs list for the $50 powerwheels and walmart for the $10 of spray paint. It isn't perfect, but you can see what I was going for and its way better than the barbie pink. My boy can drive it with is head up .

Okay Dad, do you know what you have done?

Don't be surprised if your son is always out in the driveway, polishing and cleaning.....oh and then there is the ever-growing list of modifications he will want to make. I hope you also built him a garage!?

You have done it now !!!
