10 October 2006

My nephew and I (he's four now) were talking on the phone the other day, mostly about cars,[More:] particularly where I could go in Queens to find a hood for a '51 Ford pickup truck -- medium sized, not too big -- and a small assortment of engine and transmission parts that he must have learned about from the muscle car photo book I gave him last Christmas, when he stopped and said, "[Hugh], I'm not the same as you."

"You're not?"

"No, and you're not the same as me. We do different things," and here was a long pause as he thought, "because it's the law."
I figured it was illegal to Impersonate A Hugh Janus.

He's right, Hugh. I think it's part of the Patriot Act.

Hugh,
The next time you talk to the kid ask him where he stands on 1969 - 1977 volkswagon westies/transporters (the vans with the pop up tops and the camping rigs)? I have an obsession and only the boy can help me make sense of it.

Your nephew is insanely cool.

I think I sense a catchphrase/meme in this . . .

I've seen one other thread on this car nut nephew, and that one was interesting, too. I think this kid is ready for his own TV show.
