Out cruising today and . . .
a car full of high school boys pulled up beside me at a stop light on the highway.
The guy riding shotgun stuck his head out the window and said,
“That’s a bad *** car, Sir.”
I replied with “Thank you very much”.
When the light turned green I let them hear the Borlas and at the next stop light, they were laughing and giving thumbs up.
Probably couldn’t believe that the “Sir” wrapped the Vette up to 5K RPM and grabbed 2nd.

Good story, maybe there's hope for us after all.
It bothers me when I look around and listen to today's youth and think; "they are the leaders of tomorrow"...

And when you throw a wave at them, they smile and tell their parents. It is a great feeling to see what you can do (esspecially the smaller things) to make the kids smile.

My wife and I were killing some time yesterday out of town (in the C5) waiting for one of our favorite resteraunt's to open. We pulled into a Chrysler dealer lot (my wife likes Sebring Vert's
) and there were a couple of young boys (prolly bout 10 or 11) that yelled "Look dad, there's a Corvette!!". We drove through the lot and when we started back out the same two boys were standing there with this look of "awe" on their faces .....I wished I'd taken a picture. You could tell their were future Forum Members!!! 
Looks like there is hope................................
