Default HA I love it!

My young neighbor, he's 7 years old! came over to my house when I was washing my MY C5. He calls it the banana, haha. All he could talk about is owning one when he is older, ha I let him help me wash it. I love these cars!

It's never too soon to start grooming them for Vette appreciation/ownership. Welcome to the Forum

Oh yeah, he is definately a future vette owner. He scratched my car a little bit in the spot he was working on, but I still bought him an ice cream afterwards. The smile on his face was priceless!

Way to go, Chuck! If you want the next generation to grow up with a passion for Corvettes, you have to spend time with them now! I try to get the neighborhood kids involved when I'm working in the garage, even if it's chasing tools. It keeps them, and me, out of trouble!

Welcome. Nice of you to let him help detail your car. He'll remember it and hopefully some day will look to the Vette as a car to have.
