Default Was thinking of SELLING my Vette until this HAPPENED!

I got reminded of all the memories i had in this car and the smile on my kids faces when I let them help me wash it. They look forward to it every year.

The top two photo's are from two years ago, and the bottom three photo's are from this weekend.

My son said, daddy, i'm helping you wash the vette because your going to give it to me when I turn 16 right? Of course I agreed.

Those are priceless memories for you and your family. I know it would be hard for me to part with the car after that.

That is the down side of child labor, looks like they eventually scrubbed all the chrome off the wheels!

The car is too nice to sell!

Maybe the kids can buy it with their allowance.

Illini fans?

What's the name and size of those rims? Looks really nice. I would like the black wheels with chrome lips for my '03 Z06.

Getting kids hooked on cars is never a bad idea!
