Cool Pic with a Lovely Backstory
Yesterday evening me and pops went out for a coffee.
My dad bought me the ‘07 vette brand new back when I was 16 as a Birthday gift. To this day, I’ve cared for the car as if it were my child.
He turned 50 last year and for his Birthday I decided to give back and buy him his favourite car - a Porsche Panamera 4S AWD 400HP.
Just wanted to share with the Corvette family!

Wonderful moment to share, all family business settled. 
Interesting how getting often begets to giving.
BTW, I'm up for adoption. No vices, except cigars. Read/write English.
Nice 'kid' really & will work for car payment.

passing it on ( up? )
great to hear these kinds of story's.
my dad I did share a love cars, but neither of us, was ever in a position to do what you've both done.
my dad's been gone 5 years now, but the 'vette I bought, was in honor of him.
keep enjoying both of your rides!

What's the big deal?
My grandmother gave me the money to buy my Avatar car new, when I was 17! 
OP, what a heart warming story, and gift for your father!
