First Ride

First time out tonight!!!

I finaly got my car back together and my son and I went for the first ride......... We were about two miles from home and a guy in an SUV pulls next to us and says..........

Sweet, love the color, side pipes sound great...........Man those few words made my day, next we pass another vette & get the wave!!!

This is going to be one great summer!!!!
