First ride!
Well, even though it is not a ZR-1, it's an important milestone. My almost 5 year old granddaughter asked for and got her first ride today. Followed the manual instructions for child seat install and the air bag was off. She wanted the top off and we did a short ride to the next local town and back. Seemed to enjoy it. Anyway, a milestone! Got to keep nudging them along. We were babysitting for a few days and when Grandma sent a picture to her mom (our daughter) she was apoplectic until I told her the air bag was off and the seat properly secured per the owner's manual. I think we are now entering the period of life during which we preface ideas with a grandchild with "Don't tell your mom about this..."--Bob

Re: First ride!
My grandkids love to ride with the top off. You have to drop them off or pick them up from school to score a child’s permagrin! [emoji41]

Re: First ride!
I once had a 10 year old nephew with me in north GA mountains near his home. He asked me if the car went 100 mph. I replied we've already done 100 several times. You want to go 120? I told him now don't go tell your mom about this. He immediately did!
