So with the ongoing effort to introduce my toddler to my love of cars, I got him this for some light bedtime reading.
So, it has begun. First the take-apart truck, now this. Just goes to show that kids see us as role models and we gotta get this right.

Oh damn, I’d forgotten all about Eyewitness books. I loved these as a kid.

Oh wow, that is amazing. Might have to get two copies, because I am certain we have different ideas for what proper spark plug wires should be colored.

Oooh. I want this for me. And my son, when he’s ready (7 months might be a bit early for this haha)
Also vondon302s suggestion. I need to save this post — thanks!

Why wait? Just get it for yourself! I’ve flipped through the book on my own and have been amazed. What adult car lovers obsess over tends to make us forget about the fundamentals.
Sometimes it’s nice to have things explained to me like I’m three years old.

This should probably be relegated to pedantry, but on the “how the engine works” page that piston being at top dead center has already fired, and the description about why it is called a 4 stroke engine is convoluted (worded in such a way that it could be interpreted to mean the crankshaft turns over 4 times per power stroke instead of 2)
