Proud of my boy...
My son has had a big week... turned 14, got his learner's license, last day of school, we bought a new KTM XC-W 150 for him... but then today, he asked an aquaintence of mine for a job so he could help to pay for his new bike.
He did it all on his own. He starts Thursday. He will be doing odd jobs in a resto shop that specializes in VERY high end cars. He now has a cooler job than I do. Lucky kid.

Oh he does... he is a car guy through and through. When he only knew about 30 words, 3 of them were Porsche, Lamborghini, and Ferarri...

The greatest stroke of good luck in that young man's life was choosing the right parents. Good on all of you.

This. It takes a great role model, and showing how to be a man to have that outcome.

Congrats to you and your family! Your son's successful journey would not have been possible without your positive influence. Keep up the fantastic work Uncle!

That’s awesome! Sounds like you have given him a good foundation for life.
Now if you can just keep him away from girls, Porsches, and PPOT he’s got a chance.
