Definitely have to keep the passion alive with the younger crowd.  My son is 8 months old (we had him a bit later in life than most, no regrets) and he absolutely loves loud noises.  If I fire up the Mach 1, or the straight-piped Coyote truck, tractor, chain saw, etc, he goes wild with excitement.  He also goes nuts if I flip on one of the guitar amplifiers, so I'm not allowed to do that if it's too close to his naps or bedtime.

My stepson had a boy 1.5 years ago. Wife was  there this weeked doing the mandatory granny work
First word he learned was Tractor and goes wild when he sees a tractor outside

My sister got a grandkid about two yesrs ago, This christmas he got a toy chainsaw with sound
The next day he was bussy cutting Down the Christmas three.  And he have never seen someon using
a chainsaw.
His first word was also tractor and goes wild when he sees a tractor. They where out walking when there
was an abandened old tractor.  they put him up in the seat and emedeatly he had lefthand on the wheel.
and right hand on the shifter making engine sounds He never saw someone driving tractor up to that point.

i took a 30,000 original miles 428 engine to the machine shop for a rebuild.it came out of a t-bird.knew the owner of the car,it was a low stress engine.the crank did not need turned and the block did not need boring.bad news-my uncle who funded the build,had already bought .030  over pistons so the shop bored my block even though it did not need it.o well i guess thats at least one less over bore for the future of this block.you never know it might be bored to the max right now

I've done things like this with most of my grand kids and some of my great-grand kids. 

Several daugther-in-laws really aren't happy with me ...
