Default New vette Memory
I took my Grandaughter to a local car show yesterday..........What a perfect day, Skies were blue low 80's and spent 7 hours enjoying the cars and her company. She loves cars and we won in our class, so I let her go up and accept the trophy..........she beamed from ear to ear and made her "Poppy" proud..............just wanted to share a treasured moment.

Bob
