    Default Great weekend in the garage with the Yeller 90

    Me and my 12 year old son changed all the hoses, belts, new timing belt, idlers, water pump, new fuel filter and had a memorable moment to boot!!! My Miata is living up to what I hoped it would be, a bonding experience-Priceless~~

    Very cool Yeller90!

    If he stays interested in cars it gets even cooler when they can also start driving the Miata!

    Having my wife help me pull at a part at the salvage yard was great.

    No kids to help with the car, so I tried using the cats. They just pooped in the intake. Damn cats.

    Sadly, they don't all appreciate it. My kid would rather work on and ride his scooter. :/

    At least he's not wanting to shop for clothes. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

    My 8 yo is my second set of hands..he loves the miata! I couldn't have put in the new heater core without him!! Fantastic daddy son time..when I take a beer break that's when he takes a water break and heads out to play on that scooter of his!
    Nothing like the whine of a SC at full throttle!

    Well you do have that annoying personality that makes most people want to stay away from you.

    Also last year my daughter and I ran a bunch of SCCA Rally's she was my navigator! Good times good good time! We are going to switch and she will be the driver this season!

    He has drove it, he is getting the hang of the 5 speed quickly.
