Great stuff! I have always involved my young kids, taking my then 2-3 year old daughter on a couple of RL runs (have a picture somewhere of the whole caravan of Porsches stopped on the side of the road so my 3 y/o daughter could pee in the bushes! Love the dog pic too!

Mine is only 3 but she recognizes Porsches and reads "B-M-W" on the roundel.

You know, I hadn't thought of that... ... I guess this will be an expensive detailing job!

Oh... I'm well aware of the slave labor laws- it cost me a steak dinner! (not to mention a 911 in her future from what I am beginning to understand!)

Yes... but she is well trained. I commanded her to "stay"!

I have a really hard time reaching between the spokes on my sport classics to clean the calipers, having a child with small hands may be a solution.

My lab likes to lay out in the grass and chew random things while I clean my car. He's good company.

Apologies to any who have seen this before, but for me it encapsulates a moment in time. An everyday chore accompanied by music, art, mechanical beauty and absolute love.

That's a great video- love it! I know exactly what you mean about an otherwise mundane chore turned magical by the little ones you love and the car.

Hey Bruce,

Quick Q. What program do you use for editing your videos?

Software was iMovie and I used a Hero cam by GoPro for the raw footage.
