I'll continue this kit car story for entertainment purposes.
My dad was kind of an eccentric when it came to some things, and he was quite the car buff. Also, he was a 100% disabled vet in a wheel chair. We knew we had this VW kit car coming in (Bradley GT) and our house was split level and this would create accessibility issues for him getting to the garage and back daily/hourly. The garage was about 10 steps down from the rest of the house. So....he sent my mom and aunt on a pack mule trip down the Grand Canyon. While she was gone, he had a carpenter tear out the back wall of our dining room and install a massive sliding door. While the wall was out, we moved the car into the dining room. Then the slider was installed after we got everything in we needed. No more accessibility issues getting to the kit car project! You should have seen the look on my moms face when she got home from her trip......

My mom is 96 and will be 97 in December. She's volunteered to move into an assistant living faculty since my dad had passed away. Awesome place. She's probably the oldest one there but probably the most active. She told my Younger sister that she will live to be 110. lol Here's a picture from my visit with here last week. Funny thing she keeps telling them OLD people don't do anything.

Well, he bought a second ATV this week. A Polaris 400, but this one is supposedly a 2 smoke. I dunno.

My dad is also mid 80s, he has never had any love for motorized vehicles like we do. Lucky fella to have a cool dad. My pops loves watching tennis...Ughhhh boring. He played until he was 67 and his knees were 100% shot. Now ping pong.
