Corvette Video
My 17 year old son made this video of my vette today. We took about 45 minutes making the videos and he spent only about 1 hour editing and adding stuff.
Check it out!

The cloths are terry cloth towels made to drape over the seats. They have the Corvette name and logo on them. They are great at preventing getting burned on hot black seats! Plus they look great too, but maybe not in this video.

Not harsh at all. He agrees. This was a quick ride to take some shots and about an hour to edit. This was his first car video. I'm sure we will make another and he even said he needed to use my unipod to avoid a lot of the shakes.

I wouldn't say that. Two months ago he got a reckless driving ticket for having two of his buddies in the back of his Ford Ranger pickup while driving them to their car across a mall parking lot.
I warned him not to do that. This was his first offense and the judge gave him $630 fines and court costs and sentenced him to 6 months in jail !!!!!! Then gave him 12 months probation and said if he got as much as a "not using your turn signal ticket" he would serve his 6 months!
This judge here in Daphne has a reputation for being rough.
While what he did was bad judgement and he deserves some accountability, this sounds a little harsh. He's an A student going to college in August with a full tuition scholarship and if this sticks, he will graduate with a criminal record.
We appealed the case and are awaiting the appeal to be rescheduled.

The judge should have dismissed that, especially given your son's A school record.
