My daughter always helps with any work on the cars. She helped me put the engine stand together, rebuild a Holley 4bbl. She is helping tear down an old block to build a replacement engine for the Cobra. She is always asking how this or that works. A while ago I had to pull the distributor cap to show her how that works. She remembers a lot of it. In another 11 years when she is able to drive legally, I think she will be well prepared to take care of the car. Even if she doesn't want to do it all herself, she will have enough knowledge she won't get ripped off.

I think all kids should go through at least a basic auto class too, as well as a car control clinic.
