    I'll do sewing, and woodwork, and electric, but I don't do plumbing or mechanical. I'm usually clean when I finish a project but just as happy!

    As a little girl, I "helped" Daddy bleed the brakes on the Mercury Comet (3-on-the-tree shifter).

    "Whatcha doin' da? How come? What happens if you don't do it? I promise I won't tell Mom about that word.... um those words. What happens if I push THIS pedal? Can I turn on the radio? *beeps horn* Oops! Sorry! *turns on headlights and then off - does the same with windshield wipers, but forgets to turn them off when they don't work* Da, the turn signals are broken *switches them back and forth* Da! The emergency ones do! Da.....Do you want me to get you a beer yet? *umteetnth tool drops under car - more words and a mumbled comment that sounds like "yep time for a break"*

    Ratkity, Only one break? By the way, I HAD a 3 on the tree Mercury Comet, 1963. It was the "RED FLASH". Trust me, helping my dad, uncles, and brothers, I don't think there is a swear word on the planet I haven't heard, and wrenches CAN fly, I've seen it first hand! The photo you posted reminded me of the first time my younger brother "helped" Dad change oil. That kid is clean in comparison! The first thing he did was drop the oil drain plug in the drain pan.  [Yup, you guessed it, full of dirty oil.] Then he had to fetch it back out. Not sure who had more dirty oil on them, him, or Dad. Not real sure how Dad ended up in so much trouble with Mom, brother was just "helping"!

    LOL @ericnliz!!! And don't let little bro EVER forget that moment either. It is your sworn duty to chide him about it as an older sibling. :wink:

    Yep, I drove one of those, too; pretty sure it was a '61, with the cat's-eye tail lights. Still try (unsuccessfully, it would seem) to correct folks who use the term "standard" transmission when they mean "manual" transmission. Three on the tree it was, back then, the "standard" set-up. (The Colt 1000F 2-dr wagon I had in Japan had four on the tree, like some of the 60's Peugeots!)

    I always encouraged my kids to watch what I was doing (and MAYBE help), to their definite advantage-- now it's the grandkids' turn!

    …And that LOOKS like a Jeep, but would that be an old --maybe '65 or so-- Toyota Land Cruiser? (Definitely worth restoring!)

    @irvingj 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser (FJ40).  No restoration, just a little more road worthy. ;)

    I've driven Jeeps (WWII "MB" version, CJ5 series), military M151s, Broncos small & large (much preferred the smaller, older ones), Land Rovers, had a '72 Blazer for over 30 years, and a high school chum had a Land Cruiser, probably somewhere around '64- '66 MY. It was very impressive, very functional and sturdily built. That would have to be my favorite, after the short-wheelbase Land Rover.

    Also-- back in the early seventies, I saw Willys station-wagon type Jeeps in Japan-- apparently Mitsubishi (IIRC) bought the tooling, and was still making them at that time. A little different, but still that same basic shape, easily recognizable.

    Hang on to that Land Cruiser!
