“Fixing” my trike
Repost for the day crew: Early COFL, I’ve always been into vehicles apparently. In the last photo, you can see my truck in the background. I bet not many Oppos have pictures of their car alongside them as a child.
I’ve been digitizing photos from my parents’ home. I’ve done 114 and probably have another 120 to go.

The Cozy Coupe makes me think that it’s been a long time since Luc - The Acadian Oppo has shown himself around here. He had a good fleet:

True story: when I was about three and crawling on top of one of those kiddy cars that’s in your first photo, my brother pushed it and I fell off head-first. Had a big ostrich-egg bump across my forehead for a day or two.
Explains some things I think

I can relate. As a little kid I was into anything that would have a motor in real life. That continued as I got older. I was into mowing the lawn as a kid, just because I got to run the lawn mower when I was old enough . The physical labor was worth getting to manipulate a throttle.

I had the same experience with a lawn mower. First time running an internal combustion engine under my own control

I had the exact same little tikes green tractor.
I used to open the gas cap and fill the inside of the tractor with water. Makes for a good workout and lots of momentum down the driveway :D
