It's a weird situation. The children like to see a Corvette and it's also good for them to see a handicapped child associated with the car.

I'm not sure about the psychology behind it all, but I believe it has something to do with "I'm down and out but I'm not handicapped physically" or something along those lines.

I don't judge anyone by whether their Christian or not. However, everyone who is graced with a corvette should live an unselfish life and realize just how lucky we are.



Very nice. It's funny, you run into so much hate in the world (won't name names) it feels real good to do even just a little something for others. Happy Easter all.

Yes you are right! I hope I get to drive this kind of car the rest of my life, but if not at least I had the chance to experience being a Corvette owner....and for that I praise god each day.

Happy Easter Razor and all those here on CF.

Good on you! Whether you have a Corvette or a Cobalt do what you can to help others....it does the soul good.

You're right....the joy is in the giving.

I'm not a huge football fan but we all know about Tim Tebow (and often the media flack he gets). I can't remember which city he was in but apparently Tim had some free time. He had a local resident direct him to a children's hospital where he went (unannounced and without media attention) to visit with the kids.
