Yesterday was my birthday. A few minutes ago the wife and I did one of those home pregnancy test (99.9% accurate) and it came back positive. As a true gear head my concerns after I got done freaking out was I still get to finish the car at the end of the year. She says of course. Man, I'm skitzing out. My 5 year old boy has been praying about this for years. He nailed it. Hmm...maybe I should have him pray about 408, tubular k member, control arms, cc plates, tremec, cobra clip, cobra hood and a bunch of other goodies. I'm suppose to keep this hush, hush but I'm tripping right now and you guys are my friends so I couldn't resist.

Yeah congrats dude.

I can just imagine it..."Mom, whats a tubular k-member, what does 408 mean..dad told me to pray for them.." then you'd be in trouble.

JOE CONGRATS!!
I know the feeling and I am one of the lucky ones like you, I got to keep the car. My daughter has been the best thing to ever happen to me and I never knew the feeling of being a Father until it happend. I found out on New Year's that my wife was pregnant. I am very happy for you and I know you are on a real high right now so have a few beers on me
I have lots of toys that are practically still new that are blocking up space in the house, garage, attic, closets and anywhere else I can put them. PM me your address and they are yours for shipping. Man they grow out of these things quick!

Zach, I was happy with one. He's my mini me.

Sleepy, he knows what all that stuff is. He's a Nascar freak so he knows about tight, free, loose and all that. I'm gonna let him set up my suspension. Most of you know about the pic below. We bought the green machine for his birthday. In that pic he told me "Daddy this thing is way too loose in the rear." You see those steel links connected to the turning levers, I tighten them up and added lock washers. Then he said "Daddy the front his way harsh and tight." So I took 3 psi out of the front tire.



Here he his thinking of the future.

Sure, I guess it couldn't hurt. He's got everything he's ever asked for. He asked for a Pocket bike for Christmas after he saw my test driving one last week. He's gonna get it too.

Congrats Joe. I will be in your shoes soon... my wife has the urge BIG TIME to start a family of our own... I've spoken to JR about it and my concerns of losing my mustang hobby. I'm so fearful of that, I feel selfish saying it, but tis the way I feel.

Your right, good call.


Ant, they are cheap so you have to maintain them before taken them out. My buddies motor came unbolted on the first day we rode it. So were retorqued every single bolt and used loctite. I'm talking every single bolt wasn't even tight.

Paul, we had a five year plan. So we were married for 5 years before we started. We travelled, bought a house, put money away and all that. I was like you and was even more selfish then ever. When he was born I that all went away. Now I spoil him instead of me. You will do the same.

Thats awesome Vib. I was actually thinking he would probably know alot about cars... it looks like he really digs them,and already understands them better than most grown ups.

Well, when he gets older you can "help" him build a nice jr. dragster.
