If every boy had a father like this there would be a lot less pain in the world. Take accountability and be a father.

[@user-qb3vi5kk3t]

That kid is special, a lot of kids do have good fathers and still can’t get them to cut the yard without arguing

[@NC-mq7bb]

@@user-qb3vi5kk3t sounds like bad parenting

[@Manzilla56]

​@user-qb3vi5kk3t thats true broski. His Dad is great. But man that kid is really special.

[@charitylove7378]

His father is a true man& we need more fathers like him 💯🫶🏻

[@MasonBrown-r2z]

I've been watching him for a while now and I'm not even Italian but I feel like the culture the teachings the community the talent and all just rubs off in such am amazing way I've even started being more enthusiastic about taking In Italian cars in my workshop

[@glennthomas4159]

This strong family vibe brings tears to my eyes.

[@GregoryJohnston77]

This gets me so emotional, i wish i coukd be a good dad like that guy and get my kids in my shop.

[@macktruck4547]

Happy New Year. I pray you receive everything God has in store for you - Amen

[@kaspaking1]

Hey man stop that. You aren’t more or less of a father than this man. Listen, at the end of the day…we are mortal. We don’t live forever. Do what makes you happy and same thing applies to your children. The fact you think you aren’t doing a good enough job means you are. You care and I’m sure are an amazing father! God bless bro ❤

[@GregoryJohnston77]

@SkyeeYee man, I needed to hear that. You're an amazing person. You really made my day brother.

Their KZbin channel is straight gold!!!! I wish they had tv series!!!

[@J-Mac8]

I couldn’t agree more! It popped up randomly, and now I’m hooked!

[@pcxdrone]

This young man is the real deal. He is a master mechanic in the making and truly appreciates the classics. What a great father he has too. Way to go!

[@RowdyYates007YNWA]

I’m 54 and mechanically illiterate, but I have a great deal of respect for dad and son’s commitment to their craft…great example for adults and children

[@Ultra-Collector]

He’s the coolest kid on the planet!

[@BMFFRESH]

Such a great kid. That’s every father’s dream. Great parenting! Keep it up!

[@markhershey5968]

This young man gives me hope! Great job mom and dad.

[@jrepubyoutube2532]

This Kid is great! God bless him. He's a great example to other boys!!

[@edwardjohnson5331]

Proud poppa , and rightfully so . Kid ,your future is as bright as a star.

[@RPPerry1984]

It’s amazing what young ones can accomplish with a little support and involvement from their parent(s). This young man is a force by his own right, but credit to his supportive father. Can’t get enough of these guys.

[@deborahjackson6108]

I love that they keep their speech clean when they are working in the shop. ❤

[@ElizabethMathewson]

Yes!!!!! I couldn't be happier for this father and son❤❤❤

[@HeidiSue60]

OMG this kid is SO much fun to watch. He's like a grown man LOL His stuff came up in my feed about a week ago and I've been enthralled ever since. What a dude!

[@toddruch2744]

I watch him often on you tube, I enjoy watching him I was a car and motorcycle kid and still am.

[@monsterdong7520]

The kid is adorable lol he needs his own tv show!

[@yingandtheyang924]

I absolutely love this kid and the bond he shares with his father! ❤ His father is everything I wish I had growing up, and you can tell it's doing him wonders. Keep up the amazing work ethic, amazing style, loads of respect, and a attitude of success! ❤❤❤

[@philipjohnson2608]

What a beautiful positive inspiration to us all. Bless him and his family

[@jonphillips7723]

Need more of this over the doom and gloom all these news stations want to throw out there. Love to see it and hope to see more of it!!! Giuseppe and family should be the gold standard on what you want out of/for your family.

[@charitylove7378]

I follow them this kid is an old man in a young man’s body he’s AMAZING 💯

[@michaelreed8206]

The stars have aligned for this family, godspeed to the less fortunate

[@nascargas]

Found him a couple weeks ago. He knows a ton more than me, and Ive been working on cars 45 years!

[@daveo6337]

We need more people like this. Find something you like and just do it...

[@4cylfreak46]

Great fathers have great kids.

[@KillSwitchNY]

Love these guys' KZbin channel and especially love you can see the dirt and grease in the little guy's fingernails because he is a true mechanic!

[@ryanwhite4912]

This guy is becoming a true player.

[@Steelegotcha]

I wonder where all the OSHA and labor law folks are at lol. Glad to see people love this kid. He's truly an inspiration and has a great life started.

[@rolltide3250]

This kid is so cool. 😎

[@belindapoplin5439]

I think it has just as much to do with a great dad as it has to do with the cars ....way to go Dad 😊

[@TheMrdhyde]

That is the father of the year.

[@brilog69]

That's awesome!!

[@seanhoward8025]

Kudos to this young man. Not every kid needs to go to college. The trades are greatly underserved by the Z Gen’ers and Alphas. He would be well served to attend technical school. We don’t need more graduates with gender studies degrees.

[@FultonBaker]

What a work ethic. Incredible.

[@Vr0689]

More of this in the world!!

[@ar_ej6570]

That’s awesome

[@BMarie774]

They also have a KZbin channel, it’s GREAT!

[@christophercirocco8611]

Awesome Kid and Dad, please bypass the horrible network non-shows🙏🏼💪🏼🇺🇸

[@waferzworld]

I was this same little kid… I loved it until I became an adult that works and realized how severely underpaid our industry is. I still love the cars, working on my own cars… but the repair industry in general needs a labor rate revolution. Hopefully by the time he is old enough to work that has happened so he can hold on to his love for the craft because there are very few people getting into this trade these days.

[@ashho313]

I wound change him either. I be like dang.

Why not highlight a female mechanic?

Its his dads channel and the kids annoying

[@ulucio86]

Jealous much

[@johnsn10]

Yeah, I am jealous because he’s annoying. You’re right.
