Thanks for the board Ben. Not really feeling the whole grandpa thing yet. The only cool thing I know right now is I can go buy some really neat toys that he's a little to young for yet, at this point Brenda reprimands, but caves in when I say Hey he'll grow into it and please don't deny your only grandchild after all isn't this what were supposed to do is spoil him. She agrees but doesn't quite understand why at less than 1 month old he might need a 20 hp. baja sand buggy, well ya gotta start somewhere and i'm just thinking sooner in the saddle the sooner ya learn. So i need time with it to make sure all the bugs are worked out and that it will be safe when he is old enough. By the way the HO scale train set is pretty cool to.

What grandparents would deprive such a beautiful baby of a 20 hp baja sand buggy and an HO scale train set.
You know he'd be the coolest kid in school if he had a 1967 Mustang GT, candy apple red, 390 with 850 Holley and Hurst shifter.
Oh!  and a bass boat!   
Lucky Kid.

And, yet leave it to Ben to put a hitch on a 1967 Mustang GT to pull a bass boat. Good God man.

and leave it to AXI66 to have an avatar of a smoking baby in a new baby board.
It would be a chrome hitch.  Very shiny.

UH YEAHHH! I really do not have a response for the whole mustang thing you two will have to work that one out. I mean if your going to put a hitch on something (a shiny one) it should be a vehicle that could pull it fast, real fast, like lets say a 1971 chevelle SS with a full blown 454 nitrous blending methyl injection quad. Its quite a nice little set up when you put a muncey 4 speed behind it followed by a stainless drive line connected to the 372 locker rear end and round it out with a few simple items like computerized air suspension, total flow exhaust, mickey thompsom eagles and a nice 6 layer coat of Black ionic paint with a fine silver pinstripe. Only problem I see is who is going to peel the rubber off the boat when your towing it!

[AXI66]

No, I think you mean whos goin back to pull boat and trailer out of the ditch.

[benja22]

If the kid has to pull a boat with an old 71 Chevelle he should be pulling a brand new Baha 405
Twin MerCruiser 496 Magnum/375 HP/Bravo I   with a split throttle & shifter and trim.  Forward cabin with wet bar, galley and head. Microwave oven, fridge and sink.  Entertainment center, air conditioned. Swim deck, tilt wheel power steering, 230-Gal. Fuel Tank. 10 passenger capacity/sleeps 4.  I suppose a live well would be okay too.
Oh!  and cup holders!
