Default I shall call him "mini me"

really his name is Eli, and somebody on another forum asked if he was racing yet. Sadly no, but at 19 months, I still think there is hope. He can't even reach the pedals of this Power Wheels yet, but I made a pedal "booster" for him. Sorta like those of you that can't heel/toe with OEM pedal

Priceless picture, Dave!

Looks like he's taking after his dad!

Awesome! That is so cool!

You should do what Juan Pablo Montoya's dad did with him. He used to ride around in a cart with JPM between his legs. By the time he was able to handle the cart himself, he had the feeling of what the cart would do.

Great looking kid Dave!
Power Wheels needs to be lowered a bit.

can't believe no one noticed the colors almost match my new ride....

I'll get it pimped out for him eventually. Right now, he doesn't even know how to steer. Just goes around in circles, and likes turning all of the fake *****!

As soon as he figures out the ***** don't do anything he will be smarter than 99% of the car public that likes Camry's! You are a very rich man Dave.

Likes going in circles already? He maybe a good circle tracker in the future. If you would like to see him in a big house, his own jet, and hot wife then get him into Nascar. But if you would like to see him broke, small house, his own truck and trailer, get him to turn both ways. Looks like you have a little racer. A few more years and he is ready for kart racing. I saw a 3 year old at the kart track by my house. Was he fast at 3.5 years old? kinda of running a smooth line and didn't run off track all day. Which suprized the hell out of me.
