How Time has Passed....

Guys:

Started out laying my son Alexander in my new 04 Z06 back in Oct 04.

7 years later he is trying to reach the gas pedal...

I dread the day he asks me for the keys... NOT gonna happen !

Great pictures. Enjoy the relationship as much as you can while he is young. Mine are 29 and 32 and I don't see them as much as I would like to anymore. Give him the keys and at least let him start it up !!!

You know that he is already hooked on Corvettes. Soon he will be a Corvette Forum member. It is great that you have such an awesome relationship with your son.

Very nice pictures!
I grew up around Corvettes and look what happened to me.

Great.

No doubt you and your son will have memories for a life time of both of you with the car.

Great looking young man. I'll be 63 next week and it seems just like yesterday that I was a teenager. I'm not sure where the time has gone.

Thanks for sharing that with us. I'll bet you do hand him the keys at some point if you still have it then.

Awesome pics!

I used to say the same thing...but when my kid came home from his first tour in Iraq, I not only handed him the keys - we took it to the autocross course
