Then and now....

Was over at my parents house tonight visiting Dad who is fighting cancer. When I drove up I had an idea for a photo-op.

First pic is in '82 showing my '79 ZX I had in high school (granny's car in the driveway). Second pic is today. I wish I had a pic of my '65 Beetle in that driveway.

Great looking C7 and that '79 ZX was pretty sharp too.

Your photo op idea was a good one! The trees have grown a bit and the car has seen a nice upgrade.

All the best for your dad.

Thanks!
