Answers:

Which Fuel is using for Aeroplane engine.?

Sounds exactly like my little brother, except my brother is 24 now. Years before he was even old enough to drive (he got his license in college) he knew exactly what car he wanted to own and why. His ideas changed every few years, but he always had good reasons. I consulted him when I bought my first car (actually a Ford Ranger pickup) and that was a great thing. He did have subscriptions to Car & Driver and Popular Mechanics growing up, and I'll admit, I looked at them too sometimes. I think it's great that your son knows so much about new cars that people in your neighborhood will consult him before buying anything new. Just show him that this is a good thing, and maybe he'll end up making a career out of it, working for a car manufacturer or something. LOL! Good luck.

Drivers License Renewal?


Another thing I just thought of, if you have a local car show each year, where they display new cars, and show off concept cars, maybe you can take him to that, let him look around, talk to some of the people about the cars and all that. I did that with my brother several times, and it was a lot of fun.

The best way to encourage any youth is to let him work with you. If you are working on your car, even the most simple things, let him try it for you. Don't do it for him, but let him try and give him cues. If you feel he has enough interest, then try out getting him into a class on small engines or car engines. While he is young, if he has good focus, he will do fine and others will help him out. Once he passes one of these classes, buy him something like an old go-cart or motorcycle. The maintenence of this item will make him a much better mechanic. You might also work with him to rebuild a chevy 350 small block, the most economical engine to rebuild.
If he can follow this path, in a few years he will be a masterful mechanic at a very young age. Just take it slow and watch over him, and help him only when you need to. Guidance and some mistakes are how we all learn.

What do you think about leasing vehicles. We're curretly in a lease and.?

Subscribe him to autocar magazines. Also, when you see different cars, just ask him the details of that particular car. This way you will encourage him.

I have a dui, can i still become a truck driver?

Allot of good answers here. My father was a gun smith and knew nada about cars. I learned all my early knowledge from Hot Rod and 4 Wheeler magazines. If you know someone that tinkers or is a car hobbyist ask them if he can hang around and help them by getting tools etc. If the local salvage yard will let you take him on a field trip to one. I am 36 and I still like just walking around a junk yard, even if I don't need anything. The older the cars the better for me. There is a plastic model called The Visible V8. Its a battery powered clear plastic model replica of a small block Chevy that he can assemble, and then watch how all the components work together.
