My son and I had fun this past couple weeks putting together a video that showcases his 2008 Corvette and wanted to share.

The video was VERY well put together and it is surely a beautiful car. Congrats to your son for having such good taste! Looking forward to more videos in the future.

Thanks so much for watching! We had a lot of fun putting this video together and we have plans for others. I already have two more Corvette owners lined up with their vettes. I love hearing and telling the stories.

I thought about doing a video similar to this myself, so hats off for your work. Im sorry i kinda laughed when you said a 350z was a super car, at least thats what 350z owners want to think lol. You remind me of petrolicious, you should check out their channel sometime, they focus on older cars in the most cinematic way possible.

Great video. Kind of brings back memories from the early 70's and the cars of that time period. Having owned a few in the late 60's early 70's, it was such a great time to be young and love cars.
Congrats to Todd on a great looking ride.

Thanks for watching. I will check out the petrolicious channel. I've been wandering through YouTube to find other car channels who do cinematic productions -- I appreciate the lead. By the way, I agree with you about a 350z not being a supercar...my son was just going along with my play on words: every car is a "super" car to its car-enthusiast owner. While I hope to focus a lot on true supercars and super sportscars, I have plans to do some video documentaries on all sorts of cars from classic muscle to exotics to whatever a proud owner wants to share.

Agree...not a "supercar" but it is a "super" car to its owner. That's my play on words...kinda cheesy, I know, but fun nonetheless. Thanks for watching.

Spot on - I have an AOM C6 too and this is exactly how I want mine to look!

You use the term 'supercar' a little loosely though - haha. Great video though, very well put together.

Well done Todd, to you and your inspirational dad. Sounds like you both are a good team and feed off each other. I have a son who is a sophomore in college this year and hope to wow him when he comes home in the next 2 weeks from college. I just bought a 2007 C6 that I am sure he will love and want to take back to college with him

I'm not familiar with 350z.com, but my son's car was plastidipped (several times and several different colors). He used to own a plastidip business where he and a couple friends dipped cars for extra money.

I'm sure your son will be excited. I remember the first time my son saw my C6 ZR1 in the garage (I surprised him). I swear the neighbors for miles heard him scream.
