It was SOOOOO nice today!  My daughter (who is 11) and I went for a ride, t-tops off.  It was fun!  Even had a group of kids (high-school aged) yell "Nice Car!"  Clap

We could sure use some of that rain down here but it all went north to you folks. Guess we'll just have to make the best of all this sunshine Sunshine  How sweet it is.

Glad to see that you're out on the road! It's almost 70 here today, so I went for a short drive myself.

Mikeee and Mark, I hear ya!  Time with the kids is priceless.  I'm fortunate they both love the Vette!  Tonight will probably be game night. It's fun to have the whole family play a game together.

Wait until they are in junior or high school and take them to school in the vette. It really impresses their friendsBig%20smile.

My son is in 8th grade; starting HS next year Confused.  (How'd I get that old....)  Occasionally I'm home when he leaves for school.  When I ask if he wants a ride rather than take the school bus, he asks "In which car?"  If I say the Vette, he wants a ride.  Any of the other vehicles, he passes. 

Shortly after I got the Vette, my daughter (who is in 5th grade) was telling her friends that her mom got a Corvette.  She couldn't believe their response...."What's a Corvette?"   Shocked

Man, your lucky Karen, your kids love your Vette and they like to spend time with you in it....Cool  I went to the new car show today with my son (24).  I had to baby sit some vet club members cars there for my club, then we went lookin' at the (Fugly) new cars.  When I got home all I could think about was driving the Gold Thang.  Josh (my son) wanted to go look for some CD's so we went in the Gold Thang My son goes, "Gee Mom, why do you always want to drive this old thing for, let's take the C5."  "If I were you, I would sell it and buy a Lincoln." ShockedShockedDead  I swear, I don't know where that boy came from! Shocked  I'll have to leave it to someone else (that appreciate it for what it is) when I pass away (hopefully a long time from now). CryCry

I feel you Karen, my daughter is 10 and my son is 12. I love to drive the vette with my daughter. Sometimes she's interested other times she'd rather play with her Bratt dolls. I really want her to have the car when I'm gone. Want to add her to the lady vette owners. Guess it'll come in time. My son is somewhat interested but would rather play video games! Picked him up from school one day got a lot attention from the kids and teachers.
 
Oh well, don't mind driving alone too!
