She must be proud to call you "dad". Beautiful young lady.
Hope she has good luck with her new car.

She looks sorta like Lindsey Lohan, doesn't she?
Also looks like the woman in your avatar is maybe your wife... they look alot alike... Or am I dreaming?

It's neat to see the two cars side-by-side... we have two black cars in our garage with the Vette up top on the lift... Looks sorta neat in my opinion...

Cute little car. Your daughter looks very happy.

Let the Cobalt mods begin!

Have you guys seen the Ecotech 4-cylinder turbo that puts out over 400 HP? I was browsing through a Hot Rodding magazine, and came upon it. I didn't read the story, but was impressed by the numbers.

Yeah its a good thing you didn't buy her a vette. She would have guys crawling all over the place and you might have to take measures in your own hand. I let my (young) 22, girlfriend drive my torch red vette around town with LT's and she gets twice as many stares as I do. I wonder why.
