My 17 month old son really likes to be in my Vanagon.  When we are going to
go somewhere, he runs to the front, climbs into the drivers seat, grabs the
wheel and starts to pretend to drive.  Now he knows how to put the key in and
turn it, trying to start it.

He likes to go outside now that it is warm and generally wants me to show
him the engine of my Vanagon.  He runs to the back, points to the hatch.  I
open it and he points to the bed, I lift it and he emphatically points to the
engine hatch.  I open the hatch and starts smiling as he studies the engine.
He likes it when I start the engine and rev it while he watches smiling and
studying the engine and the noises it makes.  He really wants to touch the
engine.

He really likes being around my 73 bus (runs around and likes to look at the
engine running and his first ride in a vehicle was my 73 Bus) and my Vanagon,
I just hope he does not crash his first VW at 4 as I did...

He is pointing at the engine saying there goes my college fund!
