    What a great story-written by a true enthusiast! That Corvette is stunning and doesn't look a bit out of place, even surrounded by some of the world's greatest sports cars.

    So if I'm blessed with a daughter... I should definitely take her out with me in my cars.. :)

    She seems like someone who knows what she wants.

    Ditto. My 4 year old son already has the bug way worse than me, now we are working on my niece. Got to have at least a few in the next generation that appreciate internal combustion!

    Jim, great story and very, very well written. She should moonlight for Road & Track!

    I have 2 daughters, they do love my cars. They cried when I sold my '72 240Z, but I replaced that with a Ferrari, so they are pretty stoked. Since both of my cars are 2 seaters (308 and Jag E-Type), they alternate when I go to car shows, which is cool.

    Imagine how I felt when both asked me if they can learn to shoot!! :D:D:D:D

    Congrats to you and your daughter - what a cool dad you are!!!

    Great article.

    I thought this picture was interesting.
    It shows the dimensions and design elements of the P4/5 and Corvette side by side.

    Also, I noticed the nose of the P4/5C is peeking around the corner of the shop in the back. :)

    P4/5 remains one of the prettiest cars I've ever seen.

    You have raised one fantastic daughter. I just read the story from Gene on the Corvette forums. Veronica's story shut up the vitriol being spewed by the haters for about 10 minutes......a near un-heard of feat :).
