...in the making.

This is what happens when you spend as much time as my little 6 year old does being co-pilot in a Z06...

When you get lost in a game with your Playmobils... it involves drag racing Z06's and Cobra-R's and fixing a Viper on a 4-post lift. (And don't think she doesn't know one from the other...)

(This may seem like sacrilege to other die cast collectors out there - but at least they are being carefully enjoyed - and afterwards they get packed away in the plexiglass showcase :))

hahaha that is a classic right there. think about submitting it to funnypics.com or something. i literally laughed out loud when i saw it, and that doesn't happen often.

damn i wish i had toys that cool when i was 6. as an auto enthusiast it now seems as though GI Joe's were a waste of my childhood

/\/\/\/\ we can only hope.....j/k :wink:


But I would love to hear what RC45 have to say when she brings home her new boyfriend, who have the riced out civic with a fart can parked beside his vette...
telling RC that his civic is fast as hell, and get better hp/litres than his vette...lol

nice pics and that launch pic is hillarious..... :lol:

Except she would be driving the Z06 - so exactly how is the "boyfriend" with the riced civic even gonna get a chance... ? ;)

Nice, looks like the bloke behind the yellow Z06 underestimated the power of the spring loaded boot (trunk) and got sent flying. :lol:

If she wants to race - it's her choice :)

Why would you ask? ;)

The traditional place for girls is the kitchen and with Barbie dolls I guess... :P -- not in this house :)

There is nothing "to say" about your childs healthy interests... :)

lol, I dont know about the growing out of cars thing... Maybe she will grow out of American cars and go to European or something, but like food, when You loose taste in one, you will always find another to satisfy your hunger, but I still doubt she'll change loyalty. I started off at a very early age also, but your daughter is lucky in that she has the support of her father, I only had hotwheels when I was a kid. lol, but it is quite impressive that she chose a COPO Camaro, especially when I see Yenko and Baldwin Motion Camaro models all over the place... I would've guessed that she'd chose a flashy "better looking" model, but I guess she really likes her sleepers. lol
