Burning Brakes
I went to Carlyle with my 17 year old son last year. It was the first time for both of us. I vowed never to let him drive it, no where, no how!!!!
After driving about 2 blocks in the Corvette parade I looked over at him and the look on his face was pitiful. He was having a good time but I could see something was missing. I pulled over, got out and told him to drive the parade. He got behind the wheel and never looked happier. I think I enjoyed the parade more than he did. Sometimes it's the little things that give you the most enjoyment in life.

Nice Going Grandpa
This is something your granddaughter will talk/think about all her life, you did good Gramps.
However, as long as your with her in the vette, don't take the chance of ever letting her (at this age) drive alone or with a friend, you could loose both !!!

that's a pretty cool grandpa.. I'm not letting my daughters even think about the vette.. actually, they are both afraid of it, so that works out well for everybody (I think),,,
