Default The greatness of 4 strokes

Im building a 383 stroker right now in the old garage...I have 2 daughters 9 and 10 years old. You'd think them both being girls they wouldnt care about what i was doing in the garage, but they're right next to me with just the same eagerness i had when my old man was workin on his old 454 when i was a kid.

I couldnt help it, i started explaining the 4 strokes to them, and they had more questions than i could have anticipated. We went over the whole operation of an internal combustion engine in detail. Then they asked about turbo's and superchargers. (How awesome are my kids) =)

after explaining all of the things to them I have 2 new helpers in the garage, Thanks 4 strokes!

Sounds awesome! Like you guys had a great bonding experience!

I'm too young to have kids just yet and haven't found the right pretty lady either lol. But I can just imagine what an exciting experience it will be!

Be careful tho lol. Any REAL guy will find that its extremely attractive if a girl knows how to work on a car, and IMO one of the best qualities a girl can have. Just wait about 7-8 years lol

Im in the process of teaching my girlfriend how to do some work on cars. tune up, oil change, the basics for now

You get the dad of the week award tho for sure.
