Default Took some pics today!

I haven't driven my baby in so long thanks to the ^%& *&^% snow we've been having, but it's finaly nice outside, and so sunny not 1 cloud in the air.


Took my little brother to the park in the vette ( he looks up to me alot, and he wanted to take some pics with my car to show off to his friends )

I should be a good brother, and tell him that bragging/showing off isn't good, but..cmon!






Here he is trying to act like it's his car

Nice car. I got to take my car out today too. Have some nice 50* weather here. Put about 50 miles on her. Was kind of suprised that it fired right up.

to you. I wasn't nice to my brother when we were younger and I regret it so much now days. We get along great now, but when I was in high school and should've been giving him a brother to look up to I was a jerk

Just curious, how big of a difference in age between you guys?

Great job! Give him lot's of fond memories.

He's 8, and I'm 19 so 11 years. Actually my birthday is on April 21, and his is April 25th so 11 years and 4 days exactly.

Thanks Len.


He has very good tase, I have alot of car books, pics, and posters, and his favorite car of all time is a firebird, so I promised him I'd buy him a 2nd gen for him when he turns 17 and gets his license.

Firebird, well maybe when he is a little older he will change his mind when he sees how the girls love Vettes.

Cool.
My 8-YO told me that he dpoesn't really want to work on his car.
He will take it to a shop for repair. I said no-way, too expensive.
Just buy a Honda, loser.

I said I will help you build up your car someday - maybe a C5.
"NO WAY Dad, I only really like C3s !!"
Yeah, I was smiling then.

He better start saving now, if he wants to buy a C3 in 10 years.

Ya, I was thinking of that, I know he wants to ask me that too, but he's probably afraid since I don't let anyone drive it.

Both my kids love mine.
The boy wants to borrow it. (He's 16 and got his license all of a month ago) cringe.
The girl is 14 and laughs out of delight when we take a ride and I smoke 'em.
