Kids are awesome

My wife and I went to taco bell the other night i walked over to the table where she is sitting and she's smiling and points outside to our car. There are 2 boys about 7 or 8 walking around our car one kid starts pointing things out to the other one showing him whats different like our 69 emblems and 69 stripes it was pretty cool to watch. they must have walked ournd the car 5 or 6 times. the only bad thing was they touched it alot but at least it was gentle I'm sure they couldn't resist feeling it . Hell i'm 41 and thats the first thing i did when we test drove one was to feel the curves of the car lol. They sat down at the window right next to our car and as we left they just stared. was pretty cool seeing how into the car those little guys were.

Haha, thats pretty cool. I went with a friend into a skater shop because he wanted skate shoes, and one of the kids inside as soon as I walked in said "Hey, nice car".

Cool,

I had several classes of kids passing the resturant from which I was picking up my breakfast tacos, and one of them yelled something about a Mustang... His teacher walked over and asked if it was in fact a mustang to which I said no and took a few seconds to point out the differences... She said she would let the kids know that it was the same as the transformers car...Mine is RJT, but ok...The kid yelled across the street a minute or two later as I was leaving, Nice Camaro mister... I waved, laughed,,, and smiled all the way home...

I was at the police station filling out a police report for my lost wallet. I looked out the door and some little kid was leaning up against my door... okay why? I walked out and his dad was taking pictures? I thought that's really odd.

My kids are all grown up now but, I can wait until my soon to be born grand-son is old enough so I can start teaching him about cars.

I don't know what possesses people to touch cars. It must be human nature. Bad thing is, if there is any dust on it, it will cause minor scratches.

Everyday when I pick my son up from pre-k, tons of kids rush over to the car to look at it. It was cute at first but all the hand prints are killing me. I really don't mind though because the look on their faces is priceless.
