Can't beat a Corvette. Especially a C5.

Sadly enough, my 3-year-old is already hooked on "Daddy's awesome car".

I was watching the Rolex race today with the new 427 corvettes running and all I heard the whole time I was watching was "GO CAR GO, daddy... your car is winning."

Sure he's happy now, but as a die-hard Corvette man he already sees two potential problems. First, this MY machine is riding way too high. Time to lower it! Second, those Goodyear stickers can only mean that she's riding on the original run-flats. Those have gotta go!

After that, the modding insanity will increase at an exponential rate.

Super cute picture.

When my son, now a 23 year old police officer, was small, Thomas the Tank Engine was just getting popular. I remember scouring the stores one Christmas looking for anything Thomas.

Very cool pic! I am glad both my boys are over 21 now and it doesn't bother me to tell them to get their own Corvette.
