With the aid of some of my old friends my 26 year old son is building up a 1930 Austin 7 special. Its taking a while because they are making him do everything. Every component is being rebuild even if not required - essentially they are teaching him how to maintain the car himself for the rest of his life because they worry no one else will be able to do it for him -Karl

That's fantastic! I'm 36 and I've learned if I want something done right I'd better do it myself. Even if that means learning and doing it a few times to have it come out right. Unfortunately that expands beyond cars, it's really a life lesson.
