So, how many of us have sons that aren't the "typical guy" who likes sports or cars?

Adam kind of likes going to the local Double A baseball team we have here, the Flying Squirrels () from time to time, but mainly he wants to try to catch a baseball. He couldn't care less about the game.
It's an interesting thing, having to come out of my comfort zone, so that we have some things in common and can talk dad to son. I've always been into sports... cars, not so much, but I love sports. Adam couldn't care less about them. He loves Minecraft. So, I take the time to learn about his interests and it has made all the difference in our relationship.That's what

I don't care about sports. Pretty sure I'm the only guy in Montana who doesn't. I only care about cars insofar as mine run and get me where I need to go, but I can still appreciate a nice car.
My son sure likes his cars, though. (1 year old)I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

Fortunately(?), she's also shown an interest in video games. We have certain nights to play together. That can be nice sometimes, but why sports?!
Maybe I should introduce her to sports video games...I'm not here anymore.

I can't speak much--wife has me taken ballet classes.
I do like working on cars, but have given up all hope as to "fun" cars. Too expensive. All about cost. Which is kinda of another number: instead of looking for best 0-60 time, or quarter mile, or what have you, all about cost per mile. It's sorta the same, a numbers game... sorta. Sports, eh, it's not fun if you're not playing. Too boring to watch.
I fear my son won't be into guy stuff. I've (jokingly) offered to let him drive the car (or truck). No interest. I think he's scared. Then again. He has muscular dystrophy. :( In some ways I don't want him to get into stuff that he can't do when he's older. Bad of me I know. But as long as he is under my roof I'll always be looking out for his best interests.
I'm afraid I have no interests in his interests. Minecraft and the like. I guess it's a generational gap.No Silicon Heaven? Preposterous! Where would all the calculators go?

My son is not "into" sports or cars. He takes after his dad in those things.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

I love cars for getting places. Beats walking.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
