First off, congrats! Your post reminded me of when I was in my 20s and I bought my daughter a red corvette power wheels car. Thinking back, I think it was a C4. I would love to have that back. I'm sure it ended up in dumpster or yard sale.

Congrats on becoming a Gpa. They are fun and you get to spoil them and then give them back. I have 2 grandkids and I was lucky enough to have found the C5-R when I was looking last year. They are fun also. Good luck with your search for one. The grandkids have moved to Florida so I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it yet. See how often they visit I guess and go from there.

Nothing better then being a grandfather. Congratulations. As soon as you can, introduce her to the Vette world like I have with mine.

Congratulations! You're about to find out why they're called "grand" children.

She is a real baby doll! I have twin grandsons, a granddaughter is probably not in the cards. Congrats.

Congratulations, Lou! Grand kids are great (until they grow up and get married and really make you feel old.
