Default Got start’em young...

What’s going on guys, fairly new here, and posted in the general new guy thread but figured I’d drop a post in here seeing as this is where I’ll spend most of my time. I’ve had my C5 for a little over a week now, owning a Corvette has been my dream ever since I first drove one back when I was 17. Now I’ve got a little one of my own and I think I’m starting him off right.

How do we know you even own a Vette? We haven't seen any pictures.

I’m confused? Did the 3 pics I post not show up? I did it from my phone so I’m not sure how well it worked...

Cute little guy. Enjoy your C5 and would be great if he grew up to be a Vette owner.

Looks like a very nice FRC
Your son will love these pictures of him in the Corvette when he gets older.
