    How cool is it to be such a positive role model and someone that kid looks up to? It had to mean more to him than you ever will know, that you let him get behind the wheel of the Malibu and just took the time to hang out and talk. Even cooler it’s all featured on the channel, so he can proudly show it to all of his friends and family and be able to relive the memory of that day for years to come! I give you huge props for taking the time to do stuff like this, which could totally play a huge impact on this kids future or an important crossroad that could affect the rest of his life. 👏👍

      Yes. A friend let me drive his 67 Camaro when it was new. I was 13. I never forgot that. Unfortunately, he came back in a box from Nam 6 months later. R.I.P. , Keith! I have never forgotten you! You made a lifetime impression. ❤️

      It’s moments like these spent with Michael that make it all worth it. My weekend wasn’t going well, and there was really no reason to take my car to Dig Or Die.
      There was, I just wasn’t aware of it yet.

Everyone deserves their own opinion..I find it odd tho that we seem to forget that they are both small block Chevy platforms...different, yet still brothers.

    The grestest gift we as adults can give is to mentor a young man or woman. I have done the same with my truck, let a kid drive it and I did not even care if he acidentally broke it. He didn't but I think I enjoyed the moment more than the kid did. Sadly though i don't know near as much as you guys do. So sometimes i wish I was the 15yo boy with a mentor like that.

    It has just had a ton of problems! Curious to see what happened to the currant motor. U Bob will figure it out. Poor Billy! but I think the Nova will put him back on top. The Malibu just needs sorted out and it will be fine. You have a great team everything will be back running soon. Stay safe 😀😀❤️

    Props to you for taking the time for that young man, it's little things like that that can have a profound effect on a young man's life for the better and completely alter its trajectory. I sure hope this is all he needs to keep him headed in the right direction for his best life.
