Default Nice surprise
I went to lunch last week with a Vendor that I have done business with for a long time. He took a picture of my Vette which I really didn't think much about at the time. He stopped in today and brought me the drawing below (the pic doesn't do it justice). It turns out his 14 year grandson is an aspiring auto designer, using the picture his Grandpa took he created this drawing with pencil and markers. He is already doing some drawings for local dealers. Just thought I would share
