My dad finally got him a Corvette after waiting his whole life. He deserves it more than anyone.

The white one is mine the red one is his. Mine is a 2lt non z51 with AR interior. His is a 3lt non z51 with black interior. He wanted chrome rims and the z51 spoiler but it was the only red one we could find today after driving a total of 500 miles in our search. I was more excited than he was about him finally getting his dream car. He had a 1981 Turbo Trans Am before I was born but he sold it to buy us a house. He is the best dad anyone could ask for (way better than your dad but I am biased.) lol

And your Dad has a great son to be proud of too!
Thanks for sharing, you and your Dad enjoy the heck out of your cars. I bet you'll even switch it up every once in a while and drive each others.
