1976 Vega here. And years later, when I got my '76 vette I was able to look at the steering wheel and say "Didn't like it then, don't like it now!"

Had a vette when I was 17, a chevette. I bet these kids don't have to eat dirt for dinner or walk uphill to school (both ways) either.

Seriously, I plan on doing a similar thing with my sons. Give them some ownership and hopefully they will respect and treat it better than another car.

I think it's great-better these "young ones" being interested in Corvettes than "ricers"
