I have tried to convence my wife that hopping in the car after a bad day at work is better than going to the bar and works for me better than a shrink!! Spinning wrenches is also considered good for the soul!
I have a picture hiding out of my son hopping in behind the wheel of my car before I took out on my last big road trip before I got the trailer. I was so excited that I forgot to throw the boombox in the car. 750 miles from KC to Detroit is a long way with no tunes, but I was able to hear that motor hum and tires growl!! The speedometer was not needed after a couple of hours!!!
This last fall, my son and I took a little ride in the car and we were testing the coeffiecent of friction between rubber and asphalt. It is tough to remember when I have seen a bigger smile on his face... and mine!
