Great prom car. It would be difficult to make you a great grand father since there's no back seat

It will be a prom he won't forget, at least as far as the car goes. Hope he has a great time with his date.

That's beyond cool...looks like a fine young man.

Did the same for my son for homecoming last year...and will be doing it again for prom in a few weeks.

Nice to be able to share our blessings with those we love, eh?

Congratulations! Your grandson looks like an outstanding young man. You should be proud of him -- I'm certain you & his parents played a big role in how he turned out. My guess is he'll make you proud for a long time.

Very nice. But you need to turn your Vette in. You don't have a paved road or driveway. Did you not red the Corvette 10 commandments?
