Default Riding "Shotgun"?
Here's 3 yr. old Chris (our youngest grandson) after a ride to the local burger joint with the top down. He was soooo excited when we fired up and backed out of the driveway. What happened?

He was calmed by the smoothe exhaust tones.

It's because those sport seats are so comfortable!

That's awesome! I had the opposite happen today. I just put some NXT on the pewter coupe and took my 6 year old daughter to the movies to see Herbie. I put her booster seat in so it was a little safer and she could actually see a little better. She thought she was the coolest girl in the world, when we were driving around with the top off. I'm going to be in trouble in a few years!!!

Future generation of Vette owners growing up under our noses!

Exactly! Some of my most precious moments have been with this little guy. In a way I'm getting to re-live the great times I had with my own kids some 20 yrs. ago (when I was a 350Z guy).
