[T3] crazyest thing i have run into..

[Special (K)]

Thanks Bob, she is an AWESOME kid.. Know what she told me the other day ?? 
The thing she loves most about working on and driving the square is the 
smell of exhaust!   :D That is a girl after my own heart!!
 Shes only ten and cooks the best french toast I have ever had and she loves 
being underneath or around VW's.
I am am a very proud mom ! Kelleigh
