The kid likes going to the local Winking Lizard (small chain bar here in the area), and he always likes to sit at the same video game and wiggle the steering wheel. I caught him with the cell phone camera the last go-around:

He likes the Shell car the best.

Cute pic. Never knew they had a CART arcade racer. The emotional pangs are still surprising when I see the CART logo. :flame:

local laser-tag place had one of these. Wife always wondered why I was so enthused to take g. to the birthday parties there. It wasn't just for the firearms.:D

Yah, I think you're driving the car wrong then... or the bumper fell off and reattached in the wrong place..... ;)

Problem was that was such a crappy game..... I hated it... although it was the first incarnation of the push 2 pass button.... :gomer:

Of course I think in the last few years he's learned more from you nutjobs here and at other innerwb sites than from anything I did.:gomer:

Except for that hat.I was concerned about UV protection. He on his own has been pretty good at picking winners. Let me see... 40 pennants, 27 championships? Yup. ;)

But I think it was later that same day we were looking at an old Lotus Turbine that was displayed at the track. The crew from Gugelmin's team was there, fawning over the car with us. They started up a conversation with him and gave him a Hollywood cap. Tobacco, I know. But it had the same sun shade factor as the Yankees cap.

Besides, I think Trevor has been exposed since an early age to various Michigan influences. Hard to recover from that type of upbringing.

More child abuse. So sad. :p

And you typed a work that violates one of the 10 commandments of the OC. Thou shalt not speak/type of TSUN. :gomer:

Rosawendel, congrats and I share your hope. Enjoy. It is worth everything :D

Even the crap these jokers like to dish. :p

Thanks. It's all good. He is definately going to be a racing fan, just not sure what kind yet. He likes ALMS ("Porsches and Ferraris"), but his present fave is the NASCAR (which I have taught him to call "taxicabs"), especially the trucks ("taxicab pickle trucks") and Monster Jam.
