Default got my 2nd vette!

Today is a wonderful day. At the age of 14, I'm the proud owner of a cureently-being-restored 68. Upon relizing we needed lots of little bolts, and a new frame, we (my dad and I) purchased a 74. Today its offical. Even though it won't last as a car, it's still my second vette!

Yeah, that's what I had . . . . . and some Hot Wheels cars. I can't imagine having the ultimate sports car at 13.
