Made My Day !!!
Sunday afternoon I took my Wife to Red Lobster to eat. I backed into the parking place and got out and set out side waiting for our table. The next thing we saw where two little boys (6 and 4) with their parents waiting out side also .The oler brother yelled out DADDY look at that CORVETTE , with eyes as big as half dollars.(They did not see us sitting on the other side of them.) I got up and said to the little guy ,SON would you like to sit in that CORVETTE ? He said YES SIR ! So I unlocked the Vette and let him sit in it for a while. His parents told me he always points out Corvetts to them while they are driving . He gave me a High Five and as we where about to be seated his Father said you have made His Day but little did he know that his son had made mine

Nothing better than making a kids day. We are fortunate to have these cars. They are so much more than just a vehicle.

Wonder if there are any little boys out there who are big boys now and who had a similiar experience with a corvette when they were younger. How did it affect them at the time? Those stories would be interesting to hear.

I can tell you for a fact, it happened to me. You not only made that young kids day, you helped create a new future corvette owner for sure. He will be one of the guys and gals that will insure that the legon will continue.
Great story, and pass it on to our youth. Mark

Nice thing you did for the boy. Perhaps some day he will be a Corvette owner himself.
