First drive with grandsons!

[elkhunter]

Took my two grandsons for a short ride yesterday and went thru the proper shifting sequence with the 15 year old to show him how easy it was. He did a perfect job shifting the gears and the smile on his face was awsome! Anyway his first experience driving a deuce wil be something we will both remember for a long long time. The other grandson? He can't hardly wait to get behind the wheel. His time will come too.

Nice! I wish we'd have had a deuce for driver's ed in high school!

Isn't that the truth Lifer! Me too! He's doing good on
my 5 speed Dodge "Raider" too. He's excited, thats for sure.

Almost everyone can remember from their youth that most impressionable moment (moments) in their life that made the greatest influence on them - or the most rememberable.

I am sure that is what you just did - for years that will be something he will never forget and possibly when his turn comes around - to do that with someone else.

Its like you roll your eyes and look up long afterward - and replay that video in your head.

Great job Elkhunter - thanks for sharing

Thanks zout! I hope others will have the same experience we had yesterday, I know its something we'll both never foget! By the way granddaughters are going to be included in a couple of years also. What a great feeling!

manual shift, no power steering, lots of noise

Good job. Having practical experience like that ( mechanical stuff) sure helps
a person long term.

NICE! Passing the torch. Those are some lucky lads. Beats the heck out of cellphones and video games.

When I was a teenager all the kids wanted fancy BMW's and the like. All I wanted to do was show up to school driving a Deuce. The closest I got was a '72 IH Scout.
