What's in Your Garage?

We all realize that Americans have a love affair with their automobiles. In the past, this fascination for our personal transportation led us to design and build cars with chrome-laden exteriors and elaborate, roomy interiors. Our rolling works of art set the standard for world class motoring pleasure.As the 21st Century moves along, we see younger and older drivers embracing the smaller, simplistic designs of the contemporary factories. The reasons for the demise of the functional art form of automotive engineering has been well documented elsewhere, so we'll move beyond that level. Our purpose in this book is to uncover a few secret sources of that automotive art form.This source may be the next door neighbor who hides his classic car in a dark garage. Or, it may be that the fairly ordinary looking garage down in the business district turns out expensive, uniquely-designed hot custom cars. These pages are dedicated to awakening that forgotten love of the automobile as America's secret passion. But, our ultimate purpose, and most importantly, is to point out a few spiritual principles that we must teach our youngest generation to live by. We can enjoy all of God's gifts if we remember that all great things come from God. The American automotive spirit will continue under the care of those who preserve itshistory and maintain the passion.On the same note, our American way of spiritual life must also be nurtured and developed.We must pass along in the culture what is God-given, beautiful to look upon, and, also, what a kind, Christian character exemplifies.Therefore, we ask the questions: "What's in your garage?" and "What's in your heart?"
