Way to go! Just pray that phone doesn't ring in the middle of the night. Take a couple of sleeping pills or drink some wine and go to bed if you can.

Sounds like you just made a Mastercard commerical with things that are priceless. The bond you have made with your son will far outlast the value of the car, houstonvett

I think that's totally cool. Your son will never forget that you trusted him enough to take your Vette to his prom.
You're a good dad.
