Father & Son with Father & Son

Father & Son with PICTURES

My dad is getting up there in years and has a bad case of Parkinson`s and I don`t have many pictures of just him and me together. Then one day it hit me: He has a black `79 `vette that he LOVES tinkering with (since he can`t really drive anymore, he tinkers). I have a black `13 Camaro that I love to drive and tinker with. SO why don`t I get dad to park the `vette next to the Camaro, with the two of us standing in front of the cars. Kind of a father & son/father & son thing (me and dad / Corvette and Camaro).

He thought it was a neat idea so I started last night polishing out his `vette (I haven`t touched it in a few years and man is it swirled). Mine was detailed this past Friday, so It should only need a WW or something similar if the dust & pollen are kept to a minimum.

My dad`s car doesn`t leave the garage if it`s raining two states away or if the driveway is wet. 5 minutes BEFORE these pics were taken it was snowing (yes, snow in May - hey, it`s Ohio). But the sun came out, it got warm and the driveway dried off. TWO MINUTES AFTER the pics were taken, the skies got dark and opened up again and it snowed like crazy ... he had barely gotten it back in the garage before it could be "pounded" by snowflakes.

Don- Glad you and your Dad are doing the car-thing together. I bet that some day you`ll be really glad you got that pic.

I *still* think about our "Saturday car washing at 1400" even though my Dad passed back in `02.
 
Great pics Don. Good on you for the idea.
Two good guys, two great cars. Family stuff is the best and thanks for sharing.
 
Don and Dad -

Loved the idea, the time you guys spent out there and the awesome pictures of you guys with the Black Beauties !

Perfect, just perfect, and it`s not even Father`s Day yet ! :)

Wish I had been able to do this with my Dad..

Thanks so much for sharing - you guys ROCK !

That`s pretty awesome.

Wait, let me rephrase.

The picture is great, the idea is pretty awesome, and I`m sorry to hear about the Parkinson`s.
