Default Korvette Kids.....

Hi all,

I`ll try and keep it short,IMO,toddlers and kids are the GREATEST thing in the whole wide world. They are honest, silly, fun and cute, etc.

I think a thread devoted to young un`s in or around your Vette would be a very positive energy post.

Could I please impose upon you and ask you to post pics of your Korvette Kid(s)? Any funny stories to go with it ?

Thank you,

Hi John,

Wow you both must be very excited. Super congratulations in advance.
Hope to see those pics real soon. He will need an electric ride Corvette, after he`s gone through your driving school of course.

First 3 months a little tough, "go feed YOUR baby", will be the mantra at 12:15, 2:12, 3:42, 5:15,etc., a.m., it`s all good, every second is special, even those challenging ones.

Peace brother,
Les

I have a 5 year old son that rides with me almost every day. When I first got the Vette six months ago we were getting on the highway and I stepped into it real good. I look over at him and he has this "holy ****" look on his face with his mouth wide open. I said, "It's pretty fast huh?" He looked at me and smiled and said "Yeah!"

He loves it almost as much as I do!

John

Whats best thing you are referring to, mods or kids ? Just kiddin, unsolicited advice, never wish time away, before you know it, at about 12, pops ain`t so groovy anymore, they start to 'branch out', gone is the holding hands and innocent times. Man I so much miss walking into a store with a son on either side holding hands. It is the small things in life that retrospect teaches us, in time, that really matter.

Thanks again, best wish`s,

My daughter's favorite car since she first learned the word car, has been the Corvette. Even at 3 or 4 she could spot them a mile away. When I bought my C5, we didn't tell her we were getting it until I showed up at home with it. I thought she was going to pee all over herself with excitement!!
Now she sits in it in the garage and pretends to drive it.
She came inside the other night and told me she can't wait until she has her license because then she says she will drive me anywhere I want to go in it, LOL.
