Here are a few pics from my Florida vacation.
My wifes, my cousins, and my bikes in front of the Corvette museum.

This is my dads 99 vert


This pic was taken at the Kennedy space center back in the late 60s GM gave every astronaut a new vette this sign explains this ( don't pay any attention to the old man behind the sign thats my dad hamming it up )

This is one of those cars



My dad and his pride and joy

Nice pics. Does he drive like you?

Should we tell him how you've been driving?

Thanks to you guys he knows, he is a member of the forum and keeps a close eye on WMC I tried to get him to put headers on while I was there but I couldn't talk him into it

The hard part is that he will have to find someone that doesn't already own a Com*#^.
