Can you teach my husband to help out like that? Lol. Way to start 'em young! Be careful, though. They might wind up turning into an old Porsche gal like me!!! Lol.

You do realize they are just letting you maintain it until they turn 16 right ?

Bingo! Innocent little cities today, lighting up the streets tomorrow! My kind of girls! Maybe you should start saving for tires now.

I certainly hope so. I have not done a proper parenting job until
They reach red group.

Cute shot.
I would never let my kids wash wheels facing down like that though.

It looks like they are up on some 2x4's...but still seems dangerous!

They're on 2x8's that I placed.
I'd never actually pulled the wheels off before but I plan on fabricating some platform.

Make it an adjustable platform - surely the girls will grow.

Lol! Yeah, the back "seats" are not made for anyone much more than maybe three feet tall. I can fit grocery bags nicely in the back of mine, though.

I use a flat piece of corregated cardboard that I lay the wheels down on when washing them. It cushions them from damage and lasts until I finish 2 complete sets of wheels when I'm switching from summer to winter sets.

I must have done something wrong as a father because my kids never helped me clean my cars let alone the wheels. Too late now that they are 25.

Good job Dad!

I dunno if you are lazy or not, Krys ... I hire a guy to come to the house and detail my vehicles. This is more because of my bad back, but maybe I wouldn't have a bad back if I had hired someone years ago! Lol.
