He's Crafty

I wish I knew more about cars. I wish I knew more about troubleshooting the odd noises they can make. I wish I could dab a finger into the fluids they leave on the driveway and examine the color, smell, or feel and know exactly what to do. I'm learning that stuff now, in my 30's. Does that mean my capacity for understanding is limited? Do our brains become less flexible as we get older? Or do we just have less time to spend on things, absorbing their details?

Who knows.

But I'm getting Cole started early. This past weekend, he helped Bill wrench on his race car, and he helped me watch Bill weld a seat bracket into the floor of our Formula F racing Peugeot.



Bill's race car ( the 240RS Maxi ):


Here's some pics of Bill working on the Peugeot, our <$500 race car. I figured I'd just include some shots of this so you know what I'm into. Note: Bill is doing all the welding; I currently lack that skill.




Cole enjoys the Maxi quite a bit (but I'd like to think he prefers the mini)


He also accompanied me and Kate to another car gathering. He is becoming quite the regular at these events! I don't have any shots of him at the event, but here are some examples of cars he appreciated the most:







This one's for Rick:
