Default "I made an exception"

I can honestly say that I am very picky about who I let sit behind the steering wheel of my C6.
Although still very young, I made an exception for my grandson. He stayed under the speed limit

Congrats Bobby on your 7 grandkids. We only have the 1 so far.
They are indeed God's blessing
The best part is we can spoil them, then send them home to Mom and Dad

You've "scarred" him for life.

Well done.

Hopefully! He may well be a car guy when he grows up. He loves to go in the garage and look around at everything, including the C6.
My youngest son has his drag car apart in the garage, engine on a mount, trans on the floor, and parts everywhere. He is missing a few pieces from the top of 2 pistons, and scored one cylinder in his last race of the season. My grandson loves to look at all the parts very carefully and ask questions.
His diagnosis is that his uncle's car has missing Engine-itis a-la Doc McStuffins.
