That's a really cool pic you took there.

Maybe needs a title. Something like....

"The Passion begins."

Just added that to my Vette pic collection.....

Thanks.

From the looks of what he's holding, looks like he's already into things with wheels. Is that the bottom of a train engine?

Might be time for a thread on whether or not to remove the BSMs, whether a cold air intake would really provide any measurable power, etc., etc.

Yep, he's holding a toy Japanese bullet train: Shinkansen. He and his siblings are very much into trains, cars, and especially Corvettes. We must have 10 - 20 Corvette Hot Wheels in the house!

Very cool - already has the chin spoiler. Hopefully it is minus the BSMs and has some nice floormats in it.

Looks like a perfect photo for "Chevy Runs Deep". You should post that on Chevrolet's or Corvette's facebook page to see if they could use it.
