[QUOTE="lowbudgetjunk, post: 642137"] A lot of this derives from things I wanted to do as a child. I'm not gonna force it on them, but do get a lot of enjoyment when their eyes sparkle doing something I enjoy. I have started a list of things my kids will have to do before they can drive on their own. Change a flat, oil, filters, wiper blades is a given. Rebuild a carb, change plugs, coil, fuel pump, etc will be based on what they are driving. They don't have to enjoy the work, they just have to be able to do it. 16th birthday won't be a car, but a toolbox with their own tools and a note about the importance of being self reliant in the real world. 10 and 13 years out too soon to be planning this? Who knows? [/QUOTE]
