Default New vette driver

I will be 74 on Monday the 12th and I was just rewarded with my first Grand child [a boy] on the 8th.Hopefully he will inherit my roadster in the future.Can't hardly wait to take him for a ride.

I have one grand daughter plus a grandson on the way. My son in law is in love with my vette, - but guess who gets to go for rides first? Happy birthday - hope I am still driving when I'm 74!

Became grandpa at 53. Only one grandchild here so he's going to get all my cars one day. He'll be old enough to drive in three years and he can't wait!!
