Mostly everyone drives, so I figure everyone needs to know the basics about how their cars work, how to maintain them, and how to repair common issues.
Joshua has mad car skills!
If he can't figure something out,
he can ask his dad
or his mom who knows quite a bit
or his oldest brother
or his oldest sister.
Clint learned what he knows from his friends and car manuals he purchased or checked out of the library. Now he uses the internet to expand upon his knowledge.
I have helped Clint while he worked on cars since we started dating in 1986.
He liked having me around then and still does now. You can learn a lot by hanging out and paying attention.
Clint taught Brandon and all of our children by having them work beside him on our vehicles.
Brandon expanded on his learning since he's been an adult. He went to Clint last week for help to find a part that isn't made anymore. Clint made the part for him. Clint has many mad skills!
Clint and Brandon taught Amanda. Amanda ran with it and put a new engine in an SUV she named The Phoenix!
Joshua has benefitted from all of their experiences and knowledge. He is still learning.
Caleb is right there with him, and Bethany is on their heels. Emily and Hannah are just beginning their education about how cars work.
That love of learning that homeschooling nurtures continues into adulthood and knowledge still gets "caught."
