Default surgery needed

Today my neighbor came by to ask questions about the vette. He said every day he drives by he wants one more and more. I said let's take it for a spin. I even let him drive. Long story short, he had a smile on his face ear to ear. We then talked about what a great car the corvette is. When he was leaving the house he said, as soon as I get out of surgery to take this smile off my face I am going to buy one. Don't get me wrong here, I love the car, but seeing him smile like that reminded me again why I bought the car to begin with. Remind yourself why we all bought this car take it for a spin and enjoy it.

What kind of ride did you take him on that made him need surgery?
