Cute?
Last weekend Longrodlx was over and we were installing powdercoated calipers on his FRC in my garage. My Coupe was in the driveway.
A kid maybe 3 years old with his Mom walking on the sidewalk stops and says "Hey I like your Corvettes"
We just sort of stopped for a few seconds because it was really unexpected from such a little guy.
Good to know his Parents are raising him RIGHT.
Now I'm starting to wonder if his MOM put him up to it?

It astounded me that the little guy recognized it was not just another car.

My niece who is now 5 years old always has to sit in my vette before i can leave. When she was just a little over 3 years old and was walking thru my garage she said "nice corvette Uncle Dell." She is definitely a corvette girl
