    I guess it depends on whether you have any friends.

    Hard choice. I dig 'em both.
     
  5. Mark, it must put you in a Quandry sometimes to have to choose from a great selection.

    I'd make a day out of it and drive both.

    I learned when I got all my cars under one roof at my house that it's hard to pick which one you want to take when you have a bunch of them. Having only one is a lot simpler.

  9. I’d say the vette but you’re a winner either way!

    Mom is probably pretty cool if she is riding shotgun in the Vette.

    she is 83, a pretty good sport. She did hang on to the grab bar most of the way....

    No way I could get my Mom in my Vette... She does want a ride in my 57 when I finish it but I told her she probably wouldn't want to crawl over the roll bar:p

    Doesn't matter, you can't lose.

    A buddy of mine drove Corvette's for many years. He like them because he could fit all his friends in one.

    How do sleep at night with such problems?
    Oh and if you let up on the throttle your mom would probably let go of the bar LOL

    My mom used to smile when I took her for a ride in the bird. But she never relaxed either.

    If you were closer, I’d follow you down in the other car, so you could bring mom home in comfort. I’ll be along shortly in the Vette. Promise.

    As an octogenarian myself, I'm kind of surprised that no one has stated the obvious : "Ask mom".

    If it was me, I'd also insist on driving.

    Moms hair looks pretty good for just getting done with a cruise in a rag top. Probably wouldnt have mattered which one you took.
    Maybe next time take the other and see what the hair meter says.
    Maybe speed would have an effect, could be you might have to adjust speed accordingly.
