Spreading the word

My friend Paul keeps telling me that his son (11 years old) is crazy about cars. Especially lowriders. Apparently he got an Xbox game or something with cars in it and has been addicted ever since. He researches, talks about them etc etc. So I told him I'd bring the Impala by for him to take a look at.

Last night I went over, and the kid was at a loss for words. He immediately yelled "Nice 64!!" I started to laugh, it's a 63, but they look identical. Not bad for 11 years old!! I let him start the car and mash the pedal a few times, play with the air suspension and sit in the drivers seat. He was super interested in how it worked, so I popped the trunk and explained to him as simply as I could about how the air suspension works. He was amazed. Then he asks me quietly and sorta shy, "Do you think you can drag it for me when you leave?" hahaha this kid ruled. "Sure!"

I hopped in the car and as I pulled away dropped the ass and scraped. I could see a smile ear to ear in my rearview mirror. That made my night.

I recommend everyone with cars give kids the time of day and not brush them off at carshows and cruise nights. They won't forget it!

I think I just spread the "Car disease" to another! Sweet!
