Give your kids a car addiction, they won't have money for drugs.
My mum and dad got me into cars. Im so glad that we all love it.
My Dad always said he was glad i was into cars, because then id never have any money to buy drugs 😂
My mom said the same thing. Jokes on her! 🤣
The old argument of "this car hobby is a waste of money." News flash, all hobbies are a waste of money. My parents don't support cars as a hobby, but I'm not gonna change, so they dropped it.
Yeah this basically. Like if car hobby looks expensive, then they're going to be in for a surprise to learn how even collecting minifigures became expensive too now, or doing any other hobbies that seem cheap at first.
My parents never supported it. But i started fixing stuff on their cars and they don't discourage it anymore. They actually encourage it once in a blue moon.
Considering how things where 10 years ago, i call it progress!
Lol My Parents and Grandparents said the same thing 😂😂
My dad has always liked cars, but he's not enthusiastic about anything, he's the most boring, passive dude you could posibly imagine, the few times we've gone to go-kart tracks he's been taking pictures instead of driving, I just don't know what to do with him...
Anyway, I do not only love cars but also computers, so I'm setup for entertainment both in home and outside, and I don't really need him to be on board as I have found a few communities that share interests with me.
My dad has a 64.5 mustang convertible thats been sitting for 25 years. Growing up i always fantasize about us working on it as a father son project. He is always reluctant to work on it and it was a battle to even get him to change the drum brakes i bought on it 10 years ago. He wont sell it to me either. He is one on those guys who say they'll restore it eventually but never do sadly. Im in my 30s now and its still in the garage sitting. It has turned into a sad memory of something that could've been with him. I have a son of my own now and im taking ur advice to heart. Im about the same age as ur son and its good to see u made a big effort to bond with him.
damn, I can't believe that your son was lucky enough to ride in the Supra to and from School. Wonder what reaction you must've gotten from driving it around in public.
Here’s how I got my parents to accept my car hobby.
Me “hey I’m buying a Toyota GT86”
Mom “don’t be stupid, that’s a thursty impractical car”
Bought it anyway
Me “I’m buying a TRD spoiler for it from Japan”
Mom “don’t waste your money that’s stupid”
Bought it anyway
Really is that easy tbh 🤔
Thank you for your story... made me tear up hard. I'm a father, and I never had a relationship with my father. He was never there for me. He left when I was born. I'm fortunate to have a relationship with my kids. God bless you Craig, and your family. Happy Belated Father's Day.
Better than drugs or gangs... Everyone needs a hobby
mine's not with my parents, but my landlord is very much a (for lack of a better word) douche bag when it comes to the car hobby/culture. i live on about 2 acres of land way outside of town in the woods with access to basically all of the 200 that this guy owns. i have no neighbors for miles. quick vehicle intro, i was given an 89 s10 for my 14th birthday by my grandmother 20 years ago that i drove to high school. this was in the early 2000s so of course my truck was slammed. springs not bags "static" i believe its called today lol with 18s and it was painted canary yellow. it was a nice looking truck that got me all sorts of attention back then. next vehicle is a fox body mustang, one of my dream cars. i got it as a graduation present for myself back in 2008. i still had the truck but it started having issues and even though this isnt about my parents they didnt really like me working on stuff, so i had to park it for the time being. anyway, i drove my fox body around for a while until it started acting up so i began to slowly start working on it, but never could pinpoint my issue. this was a 4cyl fox so naturally i cared less about trying to do much to it and started looking for a 302 for it. found one in the junkyard and around that same time i moved into my grandmothers house several hours away where i live now dealing with this landlord. when i moved initially she wanted to "help me" by finding someone without my knowledge to work on my car for me. long story short with that, these people ended up basically stealing $4000 from my grandmother and didnt actually fix my car. around 2011 i finally got tired of my car not running like i wanted so i parked it and began to pull the motor so i could build it the way i wanted to in the beginning. there was a pretty serious family issue that occurred around that time so i moved back in with my parents leaving both of my vehicles at my grandmothers. i was unable to go back to my grandmothers until she passed away in early 2017, which is when i ultimately moved back permanently and took over her lease. she had been living there for around 20 years when she passed away and the landlord never actually lived on the property until i moved in. he moved about a mile behind my house on the end of the dead-end dirt road. even though im grieving the loss of my grandmother i was also exited to FINALLY after all this time work on and fix both of my vehicles, but like i said shortly after i moved in the landlord moved onto the property as well. he began to make remarks about my vehicles. about their condition and appearance. mind you i did not have a garage so they were just in my backyard by a makeshift workshop i had put together, but they were not old and rusted or anything like most of the older gen car projects tend to be. they were just faded and dirty. neither one had parts laying around or on blocks they were just parked as if they ran. i moved here when it was in the wintertime so even though it doesnt really snow down here in the south, this particular year it actually did snow a few inches so i was unable to do anything to either one of them at first. he began to harass me about getting rid of them and called them junk and then threatening to have them towed to the junkyard "where they belonged". i kept telling him that you cant just build a car in a few days or even a few months, especially when i work nights. that it takes time but he didnt care. he is an old guy (late 80s if not older) and i am in my mid 30s, he constantly talks at me as if im some punk kid or something. in 2018 he posted a written threat on my front door giving me 2 weeks to get them gone or hed have them towed and my only option (the only option i was going to take at the time anyway) was to rent a small piece of land to store them on until i figured out what to do. even though i moved the vehicles i still had a motor that i bought for the car sitting on my property so when the world shut down in late 2019 i drug that motor out and put it on my engine stand and placed it under the small utility shed awning close to the house with the intent on working on it since i wasnt working. when he saw it he lost his shit and started threatening me again about me not living in a junkyard and a bunch of other stupid shit, and again demanded that i get rid of the motor immediately. moving for me is not an option so im having to stick this all out even still today. for the past 5 years or so my vehicles have been away from me and i havent been able to do anything with them. i randomly went by there a few years back only to find that they had been broken into and i had hundreds of dollars of stuff stolen out of them, and since the window had been busted out my interior got ruined. couple weeks ago i got a frantic call from the landowner where they were being stored telling me that they were gone. someone had went onto that property and stole them both including that motor. i had the car, truck, motor, and a set of turbine wheels (foxbody wheels) with slicks mounted on them all stolen. i reported them stolen and was contacted by the junkyard telling me that they had them. problem is though that they crushed my truck and all my other stuff was gone as well, all they actually had was my car and it has been damaged further than just the interior being ruined. there's scratches and dents and gouges from being moved around, and the worst part is this landlord is still bitchin about me wanting it here so im just basically getting rid of my car now anyway. people need to understand that other people have hobbies that you may not understand or be into and regardless of your "authority" you should just leave people alone.
Happy Father’s Day Craig
Yup. Same age as you, Son same age as yours and he has had more cars than me. He can put an LS in an RX7 and drop a motor outta a 911 in 6 hours with his buddies and put it back in. Builds his own guns too. Only prob is Dad needs to come to the rescue and fund the expensive stuff if ya know what I mean. Best kid ever, no drugs, no drinkin, just cars. I’ll fund that hobby any-day.. just my 2 shits. Happy Dad day CL! Good job!
Craig you are absolutely a king for having gotten your son a loaded 240 for your son’s 16th birthday.
This was a lovely story. I just had my first child 3 weeks ago, a beautiful baby boy. I’m looking forward to hopefully having a relationship similar to how yours is with your son. Happy Father’s Day everyone 😊
Man this hit home. I’m really lucky my dad always had cool cars growing up and now it moved on to me, every time I get something new I take him for a ride and we have the greatest laugh with how much fun we have. Thanks for sharing such a great video.
I miss speed shops
I worked at one until my lush bossses/owners drank it away
I mean we were like the last one left so they thought we weould be here forever….wrong
They were no longer on top of things and were too drunk to care and kept hireing ppl to run their business for them and they all took customers away with them when they would quit to open their own places… I was the only loyal one and went down with the ship….
My mom says it's just a waste of money and just a waste of time. Last time I showed my mom A R33. And she said that it just looked like a old piece of junk car.
People who not only not understand but refuse to understand car culture are usually that hardy towards cars, and only would flinch when you tell that the very car they say is an old trash is actually a rare heavily lusted after expensive sports car, and even then would still call it ridiculous. Hard to convince, probably won't ever be able to.
My dad and his wife have always been strict on me even throughout my 20's. I'm in my early 30s and came to acceptance that they will never support my passion and goals on making my own project racecar. I will always respect them, but i will never tell them any of my plans and goals since i already know the outcome when it comes to them.
What about project cars?
It's very important, I can't even drive, and don't own a car at 40 because my stupid Father was a GM Mechanic and told me the exact same thing since I was a child, "Cars are a waste of money, a bad investment, don't get into cars, you don't want to fix cars like me". He prevented me from driving at every opportunity.
Watching this on father's day. Just saw both of my kids yesterday. Neither kid has any interest in cars other than using it to get to work and back
That’s a great moving touching story. 👍🏿😎🌴🌙
I remember that episode, his chicken was still warm when he got there. Cant say anything negative about that car after that. Moving story.
My dad always had nice cars and knowledge but isn't really a car guy, but that was enough to get me obsessed from birth naming cars and logos from 2 years old. My parents support me 100%, my mom used to make my dad take me to the track and drift events because she has no knowledge but loves it. So she learns through me😂❤
Beautiful!
I didn't have a dad but my mom wouldnt let me buy any fast cars. I wanted a 350z for my first car but she forced me to get a Jeep Cherokee. Thats fine, I understood why at the time. She was so controlling I eventually left her. Havent seen her since I was a teenager many, many years ago. I sold that Jeep and got a MK4 Supra Turbo and a Barrett 50 cal along with 10+ other rifles when I turned 24. I always knew I'd get the life I wanted instead of the life she wanted me to have. I'm my own person. Sad that it had to take so much hardship to convince her. Maybe one day I'll see her again. Who knows... One things for sure- I'll never change for anyone.
Great, informative video. 👍 always look forward to your next episode.
What? You get a job, and pay for it yourself...
Did you watch the video?
Lovely video Craig!
Thanks for sharing!
I'm more like your son, I was brought up with cars with my dad. We used to spend plenty of time at race tracks, working on cars, and offroading both as trails and competition. Some of my best memories are based around the shared passion for cars. Now I'm older I'm now teaching him things around it but also still learning from him. I keep cherishing them now and create more while he is still with me as you only get one opportunity.
My stepdad and I worked on cars and trucks together, when I was 12 I came home from school to find a note telling my younger brother and myself to put a new transmission in his truck before he gets home from work lol it seemed completely normal to me
I'm super into cars and shooting too. Glad I live in a state where I can do both without any issues.
I was a BMW genius too. I started washing cars at a BMW dealership. Now I’m more on the corporate side of the business.
Tell your parents your car hobby will make a faster car to get their groceries quicker.
My dad got me into cars and now I have a son on the way only 1 month away and I cannot wait to do as many car related things with my son more than anything in this world. God bless for good fathers❤
Wanted an NC Miata. Saved a few years to specifically buy one and parents made me buy a civic.
Reminds me of the guy talking about his dad in the REDLINE the Culture of Street Racing video.
My parents were never into cars either. I just tell them its no different to their hobbies or anyone elses it just costs more you only live once and i enjoy it which is what a hobby is supposed to be. I'm getting lucky that my son is into cars though but only 10 he does seem to get it off me and looks like will continue to be into them growing up. he even started his own glass cabinet in his room with model cars like my own in the lounge.
Craig mentioned takeovers I instantly thought "There's no one stupid enough to tell their Dad they're going to the takeover"
Then I remembered takeovers participation is *fatherless behavior*
I’m not someone who has a die hard car hobby but my dad knows I love my car although he doesn’t approve how I actually got the car as a rebuilt title with transmission issues but he knows that I’ve put a lot of work into it and he’s proud that I was able to get it working. I wish there was some type of connection between me and dad for my car hobby. My dad is enthusiastic about cars but he’s not an all out car guy. We both mostly bond about the fast and furious movies and that’s about it. Sometimes I have the urge to let have him drive with me or he can drive my car. He’s ok with me driving but he’s very cautious on speed and stuff like that so it’s not really fun when I wanna show off or something.
Great words to inspire the young generation!! Thank you 👍
I told the shipper to deliver my r34 imy dad lol. He loves it now
I loved skateboarding.
Gunpla building for me
Super Video..❤❤❤❤
I’m very thankful my parents suooort my car hobby. My grandparents more so! My grandpa is always finding me new things to do to my challenger.(even tho it’s a v6. I’m also a college athlete so money isn’t in my favor just yet)
But Craig, it’s really awesome with how you and your son have been very dynamic with your shared hobby in your relationship.
My dad's only connection to car culture was watching F1 and driving our 1.4 Opel Astra G . Fortunately though he never was against my hobby, he was the one that informed me a lot of the times if there was a car show, a drift competition or time attack competition or hill climb races. Events that , since I am from an island with 90k people, only happened once or twice per year. He also was the one that didn't have a problem with me learning to ride a motorcycle without having a license
Happy Father’s Day!
I've taken 1st place in my class 2 different years with a saturn! It doesn't HAVE to be a miata or a civic...
I’m just here to hope my acura legend gets picked to be roasted in the next video!!
My pops is the reason I became an auto enthusiast. He never had anything too fancy, but he always liked to modify his rides. . I'm very fortunate he was okay with me following in his footsteps.
Sheeit, i drug my oldest into thr car hobby. We started building a Turbo neon because i had one. Then found a Supra in the scrap yard and rebuilt it from ground up at age 16. Now he turned 30 and its getting retebuilt. Everything done again including paint. Everything is new or rebuilt and upgraded or modified but the seats as he likes the stock ones
My dad is part of the reason why I got into cars he used to have 72 GMC pickup with bags when I was younger but sold it and now today he’s thinking about doing another build with each other which I can’t wait 😊
Fortunately my dad supports my car habit. I just bought a C6 😂
tbh as much as i love speeding and always wanted to go to a track and learn, my old man always told me to stick to my own lane and just be carful of others who are to busy looking everywhere except in front of them, drive right, speed limite and use signal, in other words do things right, its really simple to drive, as long as you respect others and fallow the rules driving is fun and easy, he was right, didnt mean i would lisen though.
Well said Craig !
My mom and dad helped me put all my money into Import a muscle car in from the states to the uk when I was 19 I they have always helped me with the passion of restoring and owning one !
Damn man, the story about your father really got under my skin. That look in your eyes when you talk about it... 🥺
Well said Craig !
My mom and dad helped me put all my money into Import a muscle car in from states when I was 19
If I ever have kids, I hope to have a relationship like you do with your son
Bit of a heartfelt episode! Loved it!
Orphans: 😢
Blame your biological parents
Car and truck scene is garbage now, instead got my kids and parents into RC instead.
When I got into cars my dad thought it was a phase but my mom supported me and continues to. I learned that my mom was a race car driver from 19-32. My dad still thinks it's a phase
It's weird that you'd have to read cue cards for your story about your dad in the hospital....
😂😂👍🏼👍🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼🫶🏽
