Made my day!

[SS427]

I had a smile put on my face tonight and just wanted to share it. While laying underneath the sYc Camaro tonight adjusting the E-brake, some 10 year old kid rides up on his bike and says hi. I thought, oh great, another interuption. He says, "nice Yenko Camaro". I poked my head out and said "thanks" not allowing myself to get too excited as it does say Yenko on the fender (even though he did pronounce it correctly). I then rolled out from underneath and said, "yeah but do you really know what it is to which he replied, "yeah, it's a '69 Yenko Camaro, one of approximately 201 built out of Yenko Chevrolet in Cannonsburg, PA." !!!!! To which I exclaimed, "WOW! You really know your cars," and he just shrugged his shoulders.

Then he walks into the shop where I have a '70 Chevelle convert that is nothing more than a painted shell and front clip mounted on the frame. He goes on to say, "NICE '70 Chevelle!" I then asked how the heck he knew that as there was not even a grill or bumper on the car. He replies, I could tell it was a Chevelle by the cowl hood and a '70 because of the 4 headlight core supoport..........I just about sh!t!! About this time his dad rides up and appologizes for his son. After we sit and talk a little, the dad says, "looks just like my Z-28 I used to own" and his son quickly replies, "big difference dad, the Z-28 was only a 302 producing 290 hp and these cars used the 450 hp 427."

Long story short, it was VERY refreshing to have a young (10 year old) kid come over who actually not only knew what he was talking about, but liked American muscle versus rice burners. Put a smile on my face!

I have given him an open invitation to come over anytime he wants to. My 15 year old daughter could care less about cars.

Just wanted to share something different.
