Default C3 for kids

My Grandaughter drove her first C3. We took her to Kings Dominion in Virginia (where she lives). They have cars that follow a rail around a track that look a lot like C3's. She is 16 months old and has rode in my/her 73 before but now she knows what its like to drive one. :auto: :cool:

You have done it now. You might as well start shopping now for one of her own. Then you might have to drive it yourself just to help keep it up until she can really drive on her own. :D

I already tell people it is her car. That way when ever I want something for it I tell my wife it is for Zoe. My daughter keeps asking me if I am giving it to Zoe, then how come she can't take it home now.

I wonder where I could get one of those C3 bodies to make a go-cart. I should have checked into it when I was there. :lol:

My daughters (3 and 5) love to sit on my lap and "drive" the Vette in the driveway. When I move the cars around, they'll take turns at the wheel. This is where and how it starts. Not too long from now, they'll have the bug...

:cheers:
