Car Crazy Boys

Like most boys, I was a car crazy maniac for many years. It was something I shared with my Dad, uncles, and male cousins. We could easily identify the make, model and year of most automobiles, sometimes from great distances. I collected toy cars, built model cars and drew fast cars all over my school notebooks. My first earnings were saved for a car, and most of my money afterwards went to auto fuel, insurance and repairs. This automotive obsession diminished substantially over time until the ultrasound told us we were expecting twin boys. Suddenly, I was overwhelmed again with the desire to buy toy cars. With each temptation, Sandy calmly suggested that I wait and then only purchase age-appropriate cars. Finally the boys are showing real interest in their cars and Daddy Dave can go wild.
