Doesn't take much to impress kids at band camp.
Everytime I get a text from my 15yo son to pick him up he always adds, "bring the vette".

Great story, and "way to go" Dad. I sometimes pick my grandson up from the pre-school, and the first thing he says is, did you bring the vette. It sure makes him happy when I do. Nice job. They will remember these things.

My boys are 28 now but when they were in the forth grade I did the same thing and they still remember the experience.

No band camp for my son, but my 25 year-old sure does enjoy borrowing the new Corvette occasionally.

My kids always look forward to vett rides. When they are real good its time for a vett ride. I tell them to get good grades so they can get one to.
