Loaning My Vette
My son who's arriving from IRAQ tomorrow 
ask me if he could drive my vette and without hesitation I said yes. 
So I'm going 
to Beaufort, SC to welcome my son and his unit.

According to the 10 Commandments of Corvette Owners you would be breaking #1. But seeing that he's coming home from the Middle East after serving our country.... I think it's a great idea. Tell him thanks for serving and protecting us.

Except I would probably go with him. I can image it would be a good time.

Your emotions are probably split between pride and total releif and who could blame you. I'm really happy for both of you. Enjoy the hell out of this road trip because it will probably be the most memorable one you'll ever take.
