That's my 15 year old daughter.

That's a Marauder.

She's my #1 helper for stereo installs!

And before you flame, I'm the one who dyed her hair purple!!!!

Thanx for the pics, Dennis!

That's really cool. Can you and her help me wire my 65 Chevy? :D

BTW when I have kids some day I want a daughter first and one thing for sure, I am going to name her Christine. :cool:

Again, cool stuff and it's great to have interaction like that.

That's great... usually around that age kids are know it alls and are too good to listen to their parents... it is good to see father and daughter getting along so well!

She will probably be more mechanically inclined than the boys she will date! haha

That is great to see! Keep it up!:beer:

She installed her boyfriend's stereo that I bought him for Christmas. Her nick-name for him is 'Nancy Boy'!

Both Rich and Jamie are special people as you all know. I am fortunate that I get to spend quality time with them often. They treat me as one of the family and I think of them as part of mine. I am especially proud of Jamie, she is very special. A great credit to Rich, he is a special dad. :2thumbs: Dennis

Nice to see a kid at that age with her head screwed on straight. Good job man. And, leave hair styling to the pros :D My youngest daughter has done the purple hair thing too. Yuk :puke:

The best way to keep 'em out of trouble is to get involved with things they like - looks like she turned the tables. That is awesome!

hahaha that is great man! Good to see! I wish the girls I date were mechanically inclined! I always get concerned about what they drive and the upkeep of their vehicles and wind up working on their cars for them! I need a girl that knows her way around a car! haha

The one time I met her, I was very impressed. Very cool kid. I expected typical moody teenager. But found her to be very hospitable and respectful.

Not that you need it Rich, but great job!

Rich, you should be proud of not only her, but yourself as well (except for that purple hair :rolleyes:). Good kids don't generally just happen by themselves.

To me it seems as though the drama is starting to lighten up a little with the nice weather and turning ahead of the clocks! Cabin fever is starting to subside!

Ah, very nice!

My GF just bought the V1 T trim for her Mach1. Of course she will need help but you gotta love a mechanically inclined female.

She also has the AVIC F700bt and custom fit box to be installed for her subs.... she loves stereos too. I lucked out. Your daughter's boyfriend will probably feel the same way. lol

As far as feeling old, my wife subtracts 60, and treats me accordingly.

I guess the rascal does have a few redeeming qualities! ;)

And while he's only so-so as a mechanic, the boy's one heck of a fine cook!

If y'all think she is cool now--Ms M and I along with Jamie and her Dad had dinner out awhile back--few years, and she was very nice younger girl who is no doubt developing into a nice young older girl with Rich's guidance. It was nice then and still even now to not only have seen but still see and hear how they both are growing up together--it shows if your ever with them and its really neat/cool. You can't help but love that in these days and times--It
speaks volumes on so many subjects they both get to cover while associated with life every day--. We are proud of how you have been handling matters there Rich..... Tom
