Default First car show
My 4 year old just went to his first car show. I brought daddy's c6 and he brought his c7. This is what having these cars is all about. Great night, even in the Vegas heat. Lots of cool cars too! And finished it off at Dairy Queen next door.

He had a great time. He was really amazed with the older classic cars there more than the newer ones. Hopefully the start at a long running tradition for him and me. Thanks for all the comments.

Great way to form a lifelong bond with your son.

I had to give up sports cars when my sons were little but we had gokarts and dirtbikes. Now that they are older we share the madness for sportscars.
