How about a little tough love as well? That's how kids learn to succeed.

I recall watching a NASCAR show a few years ago and I think it was Richard Petty telling the story of how he was a kid, just got into NASCAR and would actually race against his father. It was one of the kid's first races and he was getting close to the finish with only his father in front of him. It was neck and neck and as they got close to the finish the boy managed to pull even with his father.

The kid figured he was good as gold because dad started to slow down but just as he started to pass his dad rammed him into the wall and dad won the race. The kid was bewildered that his father could do that do him but dad later explained if he let him win he would have done him a great disservice because that's not how the real world functions and he wanted him to be the winner he knew he was. You make your own success.

Anyway, I guess Richard Petty learned the lesson.

I had to start parking my tractor outside after I added a cab and it wouldn't fit inside any longer. I regret that. Keep the tractor inside, you may have that tractor 10 years from now.....the car will be long gone.

Different era I guess on that one....I don't think I would try to kill my kid so I could win.

So OP where did you go....did we scare you away?

But in reality a car is much better equipped to be outside vs an open tractor. It really will age the machine very quickly....the car yes it will age as well but not like the open machine will with the open seat and hoses....bla bla bla.

But you know how most of us feel....Unless you are the type of dad that buys his kid a brand spanking new car I would not be putting it in the garage.

No no, the car is in there. Sorry, that was uncalled for. ;-)

Well just to follow up, I did end up putting the BX outside but I did have it covered when not in use. Seems to have survived nicely. I'm thinking a big wood shed to store it and pool supplies in. I use it year around so in the winter it would still have to be moved to the end of drive.

The car that enjoyed the inside garage was a VW GTI.
