Being a Grandfather is a great thing really. I have two and I think it's the greatest thing ever.

I joined the Grandpa club TWICE this year as both daughters gave me numbers 1 and 2.
All I can say is the C5 is awesome but grandkids are that plus more
Enjoy

Congrats.. I've got 2 grandsons and they are at the age (14 & 9) that they have begun to fight over who gets grandpa's toys when he becomes to old to drive them.......but that time is still many years away.

You will cherish the time you spend with your grandchild....

Congrats Opa, and welcome to the club! It's fun and kids love riding in the car.



It's also fun when they want to "help"
