[QB93Z]

A very interesting point has been brought up here.

I grew up in the Sixties when muscle cars were not even called that yet, but they attracted a lot of attention from any young man. My father's experience with cars started with a Model A Ford. So when he got to the stage in life when he could have a car for a hobby, he bought a Model A. My brother and I helped him restore it and we ended up buying two more Model A's to restore. I guess my Dad was pretty happy that his sons took an interest in "his" cars.

Jump to today. I bought a Model A pickup truck and put it away in storage a few years ago. When my son turned sixteen and could get his driver's license, he asked if we could get the Model A out and get it running so that he could drive it. (His other option was to drive the Oldsmobile station wagon.) We worked together on the truck and he drove it proudly around town and to school. Now he drives a Honda and like most young people he personalizes it with mods to tail lights and sound systems.

My son would love to drive one of my Corvettes on a regular basis, but I don't allow it very often. I want him to understand the concept of working for and earning the privilege of having a high performance car, ( I had to wait a lot of years before I could.)

My son has gone to a few car shows with me, but his interest now is in the imports. I wonder if he will think of the ZR-1 as an old man's car?
