    My son and I went on a little crusie today. He's 2 1/2 and loves anything with wheels. He says very few words and fewer sentences, but today was one of those times he created a new sentence. "Car Fast." Typically he says "Daddy's Car" but not today and here is why....

    At the light. Left lane, us (70 Riv) 180lb man and ~30lbs little man + car seat. Right lane 07 or newer, 1/2 ton white silverado -all white, blacked out chevy emblems, lowered with 24" wheels and low profile tires - one man. Missing rear bumper.:Do No: I guess to show off his airtanks and compressor?

    Light turns green, I wait (again not looking to race ...ok maybe this time cause the guy looked like a 'cool guy' that needed an education)...no movement on my right...so I agressively lay on it just enough not to open the secondaries...He's right next to me...this is the part I love about my buick. I know the limits of a 5.3 because I own a Tahoe and I know he's got his foot all the way down just trying to hang with me. I, on the other hand, have my foot maybe half way. We're accross the intesection and wham, I drop it to the floor, secondary open, the car roars as the front torques up alittle and ~1 second later we're at 50 and he's beyond my rear bumper. I'm off it....Speed limit is 45 and my son says "Car fast."

    Silverado eventually passes me. I don't know if he realized he doesn't stand a chance, or maybe it was the shock and awe of the noise (he had his windows down) He didn't want to play anymore at the next 2 red lights...maybe cause his bumber was the part that makes his truck fast and he needed to go find it. :Do No:

    I also look at this whole experience as a learning opportunity for my son. I didn't know he knew how to associate fast with anything, because I haven't used the word in front of him at all. My wife says she has when she pushes him hard on the swing....Its kinda cool how he put it together.:TU: So as we traveled down the highway returning home he said "car fast" a couple more times as we passed others.

    Maybe I could be a teacher if I learn how to write.


    :Smarty:
