Default Coolest Gift Ever!!!

I just got the most jawdropping gift ever! Anytime anyone gives a Corvette gift, its special, but to commission an artist to create a unique image of your car and name it so appropriately just blows me away. Certainly, I've got the most thoughtful amazing girlfriend who's just as crazy about "The Baby" as me!

Check it out here: "The Baby"

P.S. Anyone who wants art like this, I can put you in touch with the artist.

Very cool!
All my wife got me was a set of Indy Pacecar decals for my car that is in the shop getting a paint job.

Those type are hard to come by, beware though, I can foresee someone getting diamonds

My wife of 30 years got me - new chrome ZR1 wheels, new Kumho tires and Hedman headers for mine ---- PLUS ---- gave me permission to buy a 1972 vette.

That is indeed VERY COOL!


In August, the members of the Callaway Owners Group surprised me with a Dana Forrester watercolor - While I initially thought is was the Speedster print he unveiled that night, it was actually my car - one of a kind painting
www.danaforrester.com


It was presented to me framed, and is now hung in my office @ home

Thoughtful gift. Most come from one of the catalogs (and are appreciated); not often you get an original.

After that many years, when I mentioned what I wanted to buy (early 70's C3) and she didn't say anything - that is her way of not objecting Besides, she is the one really wanting a C3.
