Re: [AMC-list] Kids and Ramblers

I look at it as a circle.
They will wander away from us as they go through getting their "life" together.
If we did our part right and theirs works right they will come back to us.
Most likely wanting one of those old cars dad had, or even one of those old Nissans mom loved.

To me, the only thing that matters, and I do mean this, the ONLY thing that matters is my kids themselves. PERIOD, let them love old cars or hard drives, CRT monitors, whatever is fine.
