He used his lawn mowing/snow shovelling money to buy a used MGB. He was so thrilled. He invited each of his friends to help him work on his car to get it running for his 16th birthday.....in two years.

     It was just what this group of guys needed, focus, challenge, and learning. They would have someone read the manuals and the others would be under, over, inside, outside, and everywhere following the directions. Spare time was spent making money mowing lawns to buy parts and tools. The garage was a real clutter but the boys were having fun and teaching each other all about the car.

     Soon, the 16th birthday arrived and so did the license. Then, after a little extra electrical work, Clint was behind the wheel of his own car. He was so proud. There was still a little backfiring problem, but that turned out to be part of his personal logo. Everyone in town knew the guy in the little green MGB. In fact, he was stopped quite few times and asked what kind of car it was. He hasn't had much time since then for shows or girls, but he has learned the value of his time, the value of the efforts to bring his car up to speed, and the value of having friends around to help.
