Default New Co-Pilot, teaching me how to shift....

Well I picked up a new co-pilot on my cruising. Gotta love the little guys enthusiasm as soon as I open the garage door....Figure in a few years he'll be tuning the car, and advising me at the strip of the best tire pressure etc.

He just can't get enough of it. Gotta start them off early. :cheers: Just had to share it. Sorry.



And the main reason is to show you a picture of Dad's new machine I told you all about a week or so ago.







And lastly me and my lovely wife that is so understanding with my obsession. LOL....had to add her since she was standing here :leaving:

(don't mind me it was at my PSU wrestling buddies wedding last weekend, i was about 3 sheets to the wind) :D

The oldest girl (9) is already planning on driving the Vette to high school and the middle girl (6) is asking for a purple vette with glass top when she get old enough. The boy (4) is always wanting to climb in and go for a ride. I'm in trouble. :steering:
