That's awesome. My girls are 15 & 22 and sometimes they do help, but it's not quite the same!

Love your car, and help looks like they know what they are doing.

Blink twice and they'll both be off to college. Take the time to enjoy these moments in time.

You sir gave me a great idea. Kids are the perfect height to scrub the wheels.

Pictures for a lifetime !!

I know you are proud now, but wait until they are both off to college or getting married. These PICTURES will mean more to you than you can currently imagine.

Thanks for sharing.

I do try to cherish every moment I have with them because I do know how fast it goes. I already can't believe how fast the last 4 years went. It normally takes about an hour to wash my car and this time it took about 3 hours because I was enjoying playing with them.

I got the hood online from LM Performance.

You're right. Look how easy it looks for him and look how she can easily reach way inside. I can never go back to doing it myself.

Nice pictures. Priceless and getting them to appreciate the corvette at an early age is awesome. Just remember when they get of age and ask for the keys, they can say, "we washed the car for you!".

Those pictures bring the joy of the day. Thanks.

Pretty good attention span for kids that young.

There are some perks one never thinks about when considering owning a "special" car, a car built for fun is able to amplify the fun somewhat.

Kids are great little workers. It's just that the upkeep is so high!

Actually my plan for my birthday is to do a good top to bottom on my MY04 (sometime later this month) Great idea to borrow the grandkids for the event. ( I don't think I'll let them wax it though)
