well i will say my dad never did that with me... When i got my first truck... My tires we gone in about 2 months... Was fun until i had to buy new tires... Now they only get burned off when i know i need new ones anyway.
I would say keep goin, build a good relationship with him and teach him things, the right way to do things and the potential consequences. long the way you will build a good relationship, not everybody has that these days. Way to many kids runnin around sayin they hate there family and this and that.

I'm sure, even if you don't, he will remember it. My son is five and he still talks about the time we got my first truck stuck in the mud. He was only a one and half. Just maybe someday, he will be driving to your house and telling his kids about the fun you two had. I can't wait to teach my son.

I agree. I had to teach myself how to drive and fix what I drive. I think it is good that you have a good relationship with your son and let him drive all those trucks. As far as burnouts and donuts, He'll learn it eventually might as well be there when he does. Keep up the good work.

I agree, my dad did similar things with me and my brother (though not teaching us the proper way to power brake). He talked about this stuff all the time, all of my uncles are car guys so it was a major part of our life growing up.

I think the part I remember most is working with him on stuff. He taught me most of what I know about cars, snowmobiles, dirtbikes, welding, working, playing and relationships.

I miss working on stuff with my dad, our schedules do not line up at this point in time. I am 30 now and cherish those times we had together. I really appreciate his investment in me and my brother.

I hope that someday I will have kids that I can mold into gear head old Ford lovers........
