100 years ago yesterday

This lady was born! I was contacted by someone from Arbor Trace nursing home, asking if I would be willing to give the birthday girl a ride in my SS. Can't say no to that! She was sharp as a tack, and still was able to walk pretty well with a walker to help her balance. In all, I drove 1 hour from the time I left work to get here, and gave 9 people rides! 7 of them were 84 or older, including a husband and wife that are both 99! That couple both had ridden in a 2016 Vette 2 weeks ago, when there was a Vette show at Arbor Trace. Her husband asked her, "Which did you like better, the Vette or this to ride in?" She thought about it for a short pause, then said she liked the SS best and thought they might need to get one! It was just a great day. I love the way people's faces light up when going for their first ride....

Both of the mother in law posts got me cracking up! The 99 year old man that I took a ride said to me, "I bet you are single aren't you?" I told him, no, been married nearly 38 years... and she approves of the SS. He asked me if it ran hard and I told him it did OK! "Well put that right foot down and let me see!" were the next words out of his mouth! I had been taking it easy, I mean these people were actually living in the nursing home and I didn't want to hurt them or even scare them. I didn't need another invite from him though, and it was wonderful to see the biggest smile while we rolled thru the first 3 gears! I tell you all, if you ever have the chance to do something like this... just do it!
