Joey wants a Ford truck. A big one. Specifically, he’s got his eyes on a F350, crew cab, diesel, 4X4, dually, black, with a big silver thing on the front and well-equipped for pulling a pretty large boat. Why? I think it has something to do with the truck (and boat) his uncle got. But Joey doesn’t just want the F150 Uncle Jim has sitting in his driveway. Nope, he’s ramped things way up, ensuring that his prize will cost him an arm and a leg, plus a few other body parts. But that’s OK. He’s 8, and dreaming should be a part of every kid’s world.

Six-year-old Danny is a dreamer, too. He sees in his future a brand new Mustang GT500. I know where this wish comes from — Dad is a huge Mustang fan. A 1970 was his very first car (bought with his very own money), and together, we had a 1998 GT, which we traded for a mini-van two months before Joey was born (that was a sad day: not the day Joey arrived, the day we said farewell to the car). Thanks to Uncle Jim, we have a Mustang again — the one he sold us to make room for the truck and the boat. It’s also a 1998, and while Danny does love it, he yearns for the Shelby.
We sure hope Joey and Danny can score the wheels they want when they grow up. In the meantime, we keep telling them what it will take to acquire the keys to their dream machines: good grades, good college educations, good jobs, a good amount of savings. Even then, it might be a stretch. But we won’t burst their bubbles just yet. Because who knows, if they have just the right amount of drive for just the right amount of time, they might get exactly what they want. And nothing would make us happier than sitting shotgun with our grown-up guys in their grown-up rides. Well, maybe we’d be pretty happy if they got us a dream car, too. We’ll take anything — except a mini-van.
