Mine has already asked when she gets my car.

Good looking boy there Mark. Make sure you pull something vital when he reaches driving age. He might try to pull a Ferris Bueller on you. The temptation has to be pretty high; I know I'd have been thinking about it myself at 16.

Thanks Ed

When I turned 16 (in 1988) I took my Dad's 1988 Convertible Vette out many times. He never always knew it...

It was only 245 HP though... I thought it was a ROCKET back then

Here is a pic of it at our house in Nova Scotia.

Great pics and a good looking kid you've got. You can bet he will be asking for those keys when he hits 16.

Cute kid! Any thoughts about giving the Z to him when he's old enough? My daughter drove my 79 Vette as her DD for years. She was 15 when she started driving it with a "hardship" license to school and home each day. She just kinda took it over after she got a regular license. And.......they do grow up fast, she's 33 now.

You guys are making me feel old! I have grandsons older than most of your boys. They are 11, 10, 9 and 4. Also a 16 year old granddaughter, just in case anyone doesn't have an answer to their question. She knows everything and anyone older than her just doesn't know what they are talking about.

Oh heck no ! Not unless im in the passenger seat. He can work as hard as I did to save up for his own vette.
