When I was 18 years old, I had a few modded cars...that were respectably fast in the early '70's, but I never had $$$ for paint...just speed. A good (5 years older) friend had a Roadrunner 440 - 6 pack that I envied, since it "looked" awesome and ran great. He knew I wasn't (nor the girls) thrilled with my car for "prom" purposes, so he surprised me with the keys to his car and a cooler full of beer in the trunk. I was in shock. Don't believe we made it to the prom. Too much fun in the car...
Fast forward to 2014...meeting 63Mako and hearing his story how his car was not going to be ready for his sons senior prom....well memories flooded back from my experience. Gotta be honest ...a cooler full of beer was never gonna happen this time around.
My only request of 63Mako's son is to ...."pass it forward" when the opportunity comes....

I agree with the title. That's gotta be "The coolest thing ever".
I stopped for breakfast one morning and had driven my '76. A young lady who was working as the greeter at the restaurant asked if she could go to her prom in my Vette. I said yes, but unfortunately I would have to be her date. I was over 60 at the time and this whole conversation happened in front of my wife so it never happened.
