What is the fascination of boys with cars???

I just don't understand the male fascination with motorized vehicles, but then, they don't understand our fetish for shoes.... Anyway, the latest testament to Robbie's love affair with cars was a few weeks ago when he opted to miss a friend's birthday party in order to go to Texas World Speedway with Jeff to watch some random car race. Somehow, they sweet-talked themselves into the getting up-close and personal with some of the drivers and teams. A couple of the drivers went so far as to give Robbie rides in their cars all around the road-course. I don't even want to know how fast they drove, or I might have nightmares.... Below are some pictures that will mostly appeal to the male-half of this blog's readers.


Robbie wearing a helmet and (I'm assured) a fireproof suit while securely buckled with a 5 point harness prior to being driven through the road-course. Check out that smile of anticipation!!
Robbie in another car, with another driver. Hello?!? Where is the helmet and other safety items??? Hmm... for my sanity, I will chose to believe that this driver drove Robbie around veeeery slooooooooooooowly so he could just check things out....
Robbie meeting even more drivers and getting autographs. I have absolutely no clue who this man is and wonder if Robbie does?
Robbie in the garage checking the cars out from up close. For some reason the male of our species find this interesting...
OK, I have to admit, even I would find the OO7 car somewhat cool to look at.
Do I think Jack will have the same fascination with cars as Jeff and Robbie do, you ask? Hmm, as he's only 17 months old, it's probably too early to tell ;)
