Default Dad just got a C5!

So I was out driving my dads 75 and he wanted me to meet him back at his house so he could use my digital camera to take some pictures for "work". So I get home and he shocks me when I go to open the garage to put the 75 away with the 86 to find a 2000 artic white vert sitting there.

Its an Auto has I think 36k miles on it and everything looks great, I dont have a whole lot of other info on it as we have only had it for a few hours and it was quite a shock to me!

I have decided I have a great father and looks like I will be spending more time here with you fine gentlemen



Sorry if this doesnt really interest you I am just so EXCITED!

Sounds like you have a pretty good Dad. I think you should force yourself to drive him anywhere he wants to go.
