The infamous Ford Escort!


Todd with his Ford Escort, age 18


James with Todd's Ford Escort, age 18
 I like these two pictures of Sapp men in front of the very same car!  I love how alike father and son look.  Todd adored his car and took very good care of it for many years and now James is reaping the benefits.  James also has a Ford Ranger he can drive but, when he drives around town in his Ford Escort, everyone knows who it is driving past! 
Todd loves to work on cars with both his boys - James and Daniel.
When I first joined this family of automotive-minded, carborator-saavy, tool-loving men I was a bit overwhelmed by the foreign language they all spoke.  I tried awfully hard to learn what a piston was or how much turbo something or other had.  But, after a while, I learned to just admire their abilities and motor knowledge and stay out of the way!  I cheer them on when they fix something and I try not to get too upset when there are revving motors outside my window!  I'm also learning what makes a movie "awesome!"..... it's the cars in it of course!  Todd and I recently watched one of his old favorites, "Smoky and the Bandit" starring Sally Fields.  It's basically the story of a car race - for about two hours.  Vrrrmmm.  Vrrrmmmm!
