[@dexter2433]

huge respect for the young man and the mother and father that raised a outstanding young man

[@maryhoward1338]

Would really enjoy and update on Tony . Also if that station is still full service.

[@Bigskyguy56]

This is what GOOD PARENTING is all about. Teaching your kids to self sufficient & have a trade. America NEEDS more of this nowadays. God Bless this family.

[@JohnDeir]

This is a reflection of how I grew up. And we need more of this in America where you can take and apply what you learn in the classroom to the real world. And you cannot teach work ethics in a classroom, you need to be in the real world.

[@JulianJohnston919]

Need more of these families asap, hard working humble true American family. Thanks for the post TCR.

[@ichi-goichi6184]

Mom and Dad's around the USA pay attention to this family! Still rare to find such a learning reality! Thanks!

[@Godisreal-i8y]

Great family awesome parenting

[@jameswenger8057]

We're proud of you young man don't stop

[@DavidRed95]

Service work never gets old. I started as a car mechanic and then went on to computers in the 80's... Retired now, but will always be grateful for the thousands of "Thank You's" from customers over the years. That young man has a good life ahead of him...

[@whiterabbit-wo7hw]

That reminds me of my best friend when I was growing up. His uncle and father were mechanics and they had him working on cars about the same age as this young man. Outstanding!!

[@jerryduhon6376]

NOW THATS A YOUNG MAN WUTH A GREAT FUTURE. WELL DONE

[@StevenDragoo]

Quite the little firecracker - good for him and his parent's encouragement...

[@karl9828]

I know one just like him accept he's into backhoes, bulldozers and big trucks. Best operator & mechanic in N Texas.

[@toddfraisure1747]

It's like they become part of the machine.

[@MaryB-ps8lg]

There is a 9 year old in Joseph City, AZ who can run backhoes, dozers and any other heavy equipment better than most adults. I watched him dig a water line with a backhoe to the exact depth on the first try.

[@toddfraisure1747]

@@MaryB-ps8lg I like hearing things like that. It's better than sitting and playing video games all day that's for sure.

[@karl9828]

@@MaryB-ps8lg That's what happens when you let them go at 3 or 4 yo. Don't tell them what to learn, let them tell you what they what to learn. I was talking about my Grandson in N. Tx. At 5 he could run a excavator, a D6 with the best of them. At 23 he runs the shop & anything else at his fathers company.

[@majr72]

Kid probably knows more than some twenty something yr olds these days. Awesome job kid keep it up.

[@VintageTexas59]

Great parenting skills, this young man is going on the right path in life. I see so many of the younger generation have no clue even making water boil on a stove or doing a load of laundry... Thanks for sharing a uplifting video of our young generation !

[@johnthorpe1349]

Happened 2 Kids like that back in the day when u called your Elders Mr. Miss that a boy don't lose those Gifts !!!😉😄👌

[@markwatters6875]

Well done young fella. Keep them morals and standards, you’ll go a long way mate. All the best from Australia

[@HappyPappynKatyTX]

Wow. What an inspiration the little guy is

[@rickhig52]

With families like this there is hope for the future. When I was a kid in the 60's, my cousins and I worked the summers on our family land surveying crews in central Florida. The main perk for us was getting to drive 4-wheel drive trucks off road but the money we earned was good too. I would like to see a follow-up story on this kid.

[@didacusalvieri]

Congrats on the 100k subs. Let's make a big party :-)

[@frankmarullo228]

I remember when we had regular or hi test gas ONLY. Thank you Frank from montana...

[@judyhoffer7976]

That is really cool need more kids doing this or something besides games and t v Great job little man and God bless you He gave you the gift use it wisely.

[@Highlanddragon]

Reminds me of my now 21 year old nephew he's been working on cars since he was little he would sit in his baby seat and name cars just by the logo on the grill his favorite car brand is Chevy just like his dad. If it has an engine he can fix it.

[@TheRancher03]

Who else was driving tractors and trucks on the farm after school and weekends in the 50s and 60s?

[@Bossconovitch]

That's what's up, hope my nephew is like this

[@rudevalve]

Certified Gold!!!!!😁

[@NIGHTFLIGHTVIDEO]

I hope it gets to play sometimes

[@LindySellsHomes]

Any we all find our gift this young.

[@rawbacon]

17 years ago. Today his parents would be accused of child abuse for letting him work and the insurance company would have a hissy fit about him moving cars in and out of the garage.

[@orion7741]

only if you show it the liberals.... everybody else that lives in reality and has common sense knows that this is just living the good life and learning responsibility!

[@WAH420]

Same way I grew up but in the boat business with my dad I'm a 3rd generation Outboard Motor Tech. Tony is going places buying, fixing and selling cars at 11 years. Tony needs a youtube channel BTW

[@btrdangerdan2010]

Damn 11 year old kid driving stick shift, that's really something for him to impress the ladies lol!

[@debsguitar2]

what a kid !!!

[@txxmiles2974]

but can the kid rebuild a small chevy 350

[@BrillianceAutoSpa]

Is this from the 90's?

[@HumbleVoyager]

The very bottom of the details says, "3-6-2004." That would make Billee Bush about 27 years old now. I bet he has a driver's licenses and everything now!

[@BrillianceAutoSpa]

@@HumbleVoyager good to know! Thanks

[@btrdangerdan2010]

This looks like from a decade ago. I'm sure the kid is a young man now. That's good he's working young, but child labor laws???

[@charleschampion4682]

Not related to the ex President Bush that had no horse sense.
