Just viewing these pics has to warm the heart of every parent out there, I know it has warmed mine. Good kids, having a good time, in a good truck. Its obvious these kids have been blessed with some good parenting, and now you the parents, have been blessed with great kids. Rite on, job well done.

Hey Tyler,
It''s a super truck - but there is no way all 6 of them are going
to fit in an F1 cab!

Your son will take good care of the truck - he knows how much work into it! Nice looking couple! He looks like a lot like his dad too.

I remember going to pick my son up from one of those high school dances as we snaked our way up a long line of cars to pick them up. There was this kid leaning way over a barricade throwing up. My wife & I said something snarky - it was raining so you couldn't see too well - then as we get closer he stands up & of course it's my kid - never fails..

Have fun over there Tyler - sorry to see Arizona bow out of the big dance.

Nah they all had their own cars, but both of those other boys in the pic turned a few wrenches with us, especially the kid on the left. Yeah arizona's loss to Wisconsin was painful, and a repeat of last year. We've lost in the elite 8 five times in a row now. I guess I'll root for KY now. An undefeated season would be a great sports achievement, so it'd be cool to see that. Peace man! T

It is always nice to see good kids having fun and it looks like their doing just that.

Update: all got home safely at about 3:00 and (apparently) stayed out of trouble. Christian just got up at 1:30.

It is good to hear that all (kids and truck) arrived home safely!

Not to hijack the thread.... but my big thrill was driving my brother's 68 Camaro with a 427 and Mickey Thompson L60's sticking out the rear fenders to the prom my Jr year. My date was not impressed but the guys sure were!

Thanks for sharing this with us. That opening picture spoke volumes. Twenty minutes before I opened it my youngest of four kids had just driven down our dirt road on a solo trip to California to start his new life. I'm glad I found FTE, clearly a place where people value their children for all the right reasons.

The pic is of a guy named Bob McCoy, and his future wife. He was a big hot rodder back in the day and recently passed away.
