My twin grandsons will be 3 years old at the end of the month. They love to look at "Grandpa's cars" on my ITouch! They call this the "two car Chevy picture". They say "Chevy!! Red Chevy, Blue Chevy!!" when they see it!  They say "Red Viper car!!" when they see this picture!  They say "White Viper car!!" when they see this picture!  This is the "Two Challenger and engine" picture!!  They call this a "Barracuuuuuda car!!"  It is great fun showing them my car pictures!! |

Thank you, Joe! The boys love to see my cars! When I first told them the names of the cars, they said "It's just a car". Now they remember a few of the names! They saw my hobby room a while ago, and liked it! They saw the H.O. scale cars, and said "Baby cars!" It's cool how little children see things!

Very good of you to teach the young lads about the automobile. I wonder what the automotive world will be like in 15 years, when they are ready to jump behind the wheel!  |

I agree with you, Joe! That is why I stay close to my grandchildren!!
Bucky, I can't imagine what the automotive world will be like in the future. I miss the old cars. They had style, and you could tell the difference between Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, and American Motors!! It's difficult now. Hope the model car world stays alive!

That rocks! My friend Dave builds small scale armor. When his daughter was only three, she wold point to his different tanks and call them out: "Tiger" "Panther" "Panther(sic) IV". She is a really bright girl. I taught her how to airbrush at six.
Now she's in high school singing in an award-winning choir.
Now you gotta get them to start building somthing!
