I sometimes let my sons watch rally videos on my iPhone. Demands are increasing for "bwoo wally cah!" .... you know, Subarus. I'm OK with that. Also this happened:

Good night. Sleep tight. Apex your corners and make sure your tires bite.

it was awesome my first daughter was always getting up right when I could watch live F1. She still loves racing 5 years later. She told me the other day my car was not a station wagon, it was a Mercedes

What will happen if you accidentally choose a video that includes one of the many crashes into spectators? D:

"and then Colin McRae flew into the sky in his Group B dragon..." is the best line ever.

When the twins were in NICU, I would talk to them... I mean, they were tiny little wiggly things and weren't talking back - they were preemie babies - but just talk to them. About anything. So that they could hear my voice, so that I could do something with them. It's hard when they're in little plastic cases. Sometimes I would ramble about car stuff - about carburetion, about differentials, about transmissions. We still talk cars a lot.

Thanks! I remember a show called Dead Like Me from a few years back. It was awesome and weird and terribly underrated and dealt with reapers who collected souls from the about-to-die ... one of the interesting bits of the show was that you'd see people's experience of going into the afterlife. They didn't specify a religious concept of Heaven or reincarnation or anything ... but it was sort of a "this is a fitting end for this person's life - good or bad". I envisioned a driverless Escort pulling up with a co-driver in a full-face helmet and Colin McRae getting in and flying away down a gravel road in an echo of barks and pops, disappearing into a cloudbank.
RIP, Colin McRae.

They'll say "UH-OH". They're almost 3; they don't have a concept of auto-crash consequences. I'd probably say something like "And that's why we always listen to our co-driver" and then switch to a video of a mining excavator. "THAT DIGGER FILL UP THAT DUMPIE!"

Good work, my son is obsessed with cars at only 1.5 years old.
When he sees the Montego in the garage (every day) he says "COOL CAR" other cars are just "CAR", I'm not sure what it takes to get promoted to the "COOL CAR" vs "CAR" designation, but I know the Montego qualifies lol

was watching xtreme 4x4s coverage of the King of Hammers race this morning, and my son was instantly addicted. "daddy, can we watch the cars going crashing on rocks again"
