Default Just had a great experience!

I'm retired so I was just out driving my C5 around and I went to the local hospital where I volunteer a couple times a week. Well, the look on those kids faces when I drove up in the "banana" was priceless. I love helping the kids as much as I can. I gave 3 younguns (not at the same time of course) a ride in my vette and they all took turns honking the horn. It was great!!

Can't wait till I go back in a few days. I do it for the kids as always.

I can relate to the feeling, Chuck. Our club is involved locally with the childrens ward at the local teaching hospital. It's a good feeling!!

I see so many posts about how boys are so awed by our vettes. They all just die for a ride. If only we could get the same reaction from college girls....

Great idea, Chuck. I'm going to suggest to my Corvette Club membership that we do the same at our local Children's Hospital. Thanks for representing our favorite car in such a positive way.
