Young men & cars

I’ve never been a great car fan, but when son Mark is around, I find that cars are an important part of our lives. The first two photos here are from the Seattle Car Show a couple of weeks ago. We met Mark’s buddy Matt, who’s going to college in Seattle. Both had the opportunity to admire cars with price tags up to $600,000, if I recall correctly. They even slid behind the wheel on a couple of occasions. Last weekend Mark had the opportunity to slip behind the wheel of a car that fell into his price range: an ’87 Toyota. Third photo is of Mark telling his Phoenix buddy that he scored on a car for which they’d developed a mutual admiration. Something about the engine. At any rate, I’m sure there will be more cars in our life together as father and son. Hey, I might even learn a thing or two that my friends could never manage to teach me.
