Proud Dad! Well guys, my 7 year old daughter just finished her first oil change all by herself! She has been under my feet since she could walk when I am outside with the car. When my wife was prego with her we would take trips in the Camaro and she would kick like hell when I would take off or pass someone. We needed to change the oil in my wife's Trailblazer today and she wanted to do it. She has watched me a 100x's and it finally paid off. I just hope the boy that wants to take her away from me knows what hes gonna be in for!

My 7 year old son took off my STB by himself when I did my head swap. I also had him put the back seats back in after I took them out to do the QA1's. I put them in place and had him put all the bolts in.

When you own a 4th gen, it's handy to have a 7 year old around that knows their way around an engine bay. Small arms & hands makes changing plug #8 much easier.

The girl I am talking to now won $$$ on a bet in highschool. She removed/replaced the fan/accy belt on her car blindfolded. Her dad is a mechanic as well as licensed massage therapist/chiropractor...he taught her that as well

ha that is awesome, looks like you got a gearhead in your hands. Be careful when she gets into high school, she might get import crazy. Those HS lots are like freakin rice pattoes sometimes.

I don't think I could handle a daughter. My pit bull suckered me today with his puppy eyes after I told him no. And as for a boy taking her out, I don't think I could handle that. I'm already way too protective of my friends' little sisters that I've known since I/we were REALLY young.
