Thumbs up Start 'em young!

Here are a couple pictures of my 2yr old daughter washing her car when I was washing our 1981 300tdt.
It's never too early to teach good vehicular hygeine!
(Yes, she IS using Meguiar's Gold Class car wash)

My daugther Fernanda is the official detail inspector of our cars. She is also two years old and loves to keep us company while washing the cars. I think she is going to be a future MB lover !

Very Cute Kids

Enjoy it while you can. When they become teenagers, the help stops and the mess they leave in you car after they have used it or ridden it goes up exponentially.

Well, now I'm a grampaw. A boy, Ethan, born at 12:18 this AM. Time to practice spoiling the grandkid and telling him that his mother never listened to anything I said, so he shouldn't listen to her! My daughter is a PU truck fan, so maybe no MB in the kids future for a while. Maybe I'll get the tyke a G wagen brochure for a baby book - he can do a conversion.

The growing up to teenagers remarks are spot on! I remember my daughter being as cute and helpful as the daughters shown here. Then she hit 12, and all of a sudden cars and parents were disposable items! Oh, well, now it is her turn in the barrel!

Congratulations John, Leise and family !

What a great event ! Thank God your daughter and the baby Ethan are doing well.

Hope that you enjoy the new member of the family as much as as we enjoy our daughters.

Take note of the shields. The Ferrari dealer sent them to me complimentary for the walker but my wife still says they are the most expensive stickers ever. She has a Ferrari sweater on to.

Great idea! I saw one in Mission Viejo going the other way a few months back, but that was as close as I've been. You have one, but where can she find one?

Great kid pics on this thread! - (must be the gramps genes kicking in!)

Howdy John,
The nearest Mogs to you that I can think of is, one in Newport Beach and the other in Laguna Nigel. There are a number of them down in O.C. Then a bunch in S.D. If you get inspired I can hook you up with the guy in Laguna Nigel. Also we might be haveing a get together in San Gabriel before Oct. You don't have to get dirty to go to that
