That’d be totally skookum

I think we’re at the same point. He’s still a kid and will get the hard work aspect when actual wrench time is needed. Maybe he’ll start with a go kart, dirt bike or something then progress. Right now it’s games, models and such because, well, he’s a kid! I’ll likely start out doing wrenching but show, then at some point he’ll do it if he wants it done on his time instead of mine.

I mainly got it for my son, I think he still watches it. I’ll find out when it expires I guess.

He likes the mechanics aspect of it, he’s just too young and not strong enough to loosen head bolts yet so I have to do the bulk and what does he learn there? Watch someone else do the hard work...... I will try again when he’s older and stronger to see what he is into.

Disagree. Different generations have different interests. I was never “started in the garage” and was raised by my mom, still turned out more of hands on type guy. She tried to get me interested in many things but they never stuck. She hated that I would waste hours on Nintendo or other games. I try to get my kids into the garage and hands on stuff all the time but they don’t care. I do try and pay attention to what they do care about and help them grow that passion where I can. My daughter loves plants and growing things so I help her plant trees, flowers or whatever. My son likes engineering so we get him technic legos so similar construction sets. Maybe he’ll change with age, maybe not but it’s his choice if he doesn’t want greasy hands. Edit: Often I think kids don’t realize the amount of work that goes into many things and until that amount of hard work is beneficial to them, they won’t see it. They also live in an age where 700+ horsepower is a mere finance away. We never had that option.

Can’t “share in the hobby” if they have no interest. Different generations like different things now get off my lawn.

My son wanted to be a mechanic because he’s played some mechanic games where you hop up cars to make them faster. I got him a small engine (mower) to tear down so he could have the experience and see real pistons, valves, etc. After he started he said it was too hard and he quit. I think kids today have a skewed sense of reality due to all these simulator games and the fast and furious franchise making “10 second cars” without much effort. I’ve always tried to temper his expectations and show him examples but you know how it is when you are a kid, until you experience it yourself. Plus with cars today like the hellcat starting out plenty fast, they don’t understand the cost and value of speed. Hopefully it’s a phase and as he gets older we can revisit this but we’ll see.

Yup!

Hmm..... coincidence?

Some people have more money to burn than we do.

Body cam footage.

I never bother looking.

I don’t doubt there’s bigger stuff going on, but sheeple do as sheeple told. We will never know the true story, only the bomber will. As for the parrots on tv, I’m more baffled they aren’t talking. It’s almost as if it didn’t happen.

These were the wife and i’s but we’ve been upgraded. Model A1566 https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=a1566 $125 each shipped. any questions just ask.

I will echo all of these. I was expecting break in coverage but not a word. Nothing from any of the outlets here. Maybe because it’s not tied to either side yet as far as facts or information go so they can’t spin it yet?

There’s video of the bomb announcement on YouTube. It’s chilling. Mixed reports and the staggering lack of media coverage is baffling.
