I have a red C4 and it had a def Leppard CD in it thank you very much.

But seriously, cute girl with amazing bad choice in ink. What's the chance that both kids have the same baby-daddy?
Apparently the Vette's license plate was "RD HOTT1"
And it looks like the knuckle tattoos spell out "FEARLESS"
I wonder what the neck tattoo is of?
Aside: I get it. Some of you survived your childhood and can now brag about it. Sure bad things don't happen often but they do happen. The kid who got tossed from the bed of a truck or smashed their head off a windshield can't come here and brag though. Just cause you survived doesn't make it smart. Just lucky. /rant
She looks too happy.
John Cafaro said he designed the C5 hatch to hold hockey bags, not golf bags. Other than the FRC there's lots a room in the new Vettes. Not so my C3.
My dad use to have a giant yellow Dodge panel van with only 2 seats, my sister got the passenger seat, I was told to hide in the back. My memory of that time is a little fuzzy, but I seem to recall lots of spare parts being scattered around back there too. Pretty this was around 2002.
She's cute, her teeth are to nice to be a meth head, and has terrible judgement. She could be my next wife.
Yep, cause nothing bad ever happens:

We as a group can't preach to people about proper racing gear and proper cage building, harnesses and seats and then ask why it's such a big deal that kids were stuffed in the back of a corvette.

I came in here to say pretty much that, except the next wife part.

The best, most exciting experiences I've had are the ones that fall into the stupid category. There is more to living that just breathing in and out. A lot of smart people live a long, boring life and die a horrible death from cancer. More people should try cliff diving. No one gets out alive. It's better if it comes as a surprise. /counter-rant

Sir, I would like to subscribe to your news letter.

Couple more years, we'll have more old people than Florida. Of course in that same couple more years, I'm betting(hoping because berkeley junkies) a third of people my age and younger will die from heroin overdoses, might even things out.
Of course, my car seat growing up was the middle seat on the bench of my dads pickup, before that, I actually rode in the passenger foot well. Maybe not the best decision, but it kept me from screwing with the shifter. According to my mom, by age 2 I was really good at disconnecting my car seat from the seatbelt and bouncing all over the backseat of her Buick too.
Hatch? Geez, I don't remember there being a hatch in my dad's C3. I remember a small space where my brother and I wedged into when we went to go visit friends.

I don't disagree, however, children don't always have a say in the stupidity. And, safe doesn't necessarily mean dull or boring.

So much truth here.
Personally I subscribe to Mike Rowe's philosophy. Safety Third.
I would much rather have a spectacular death that made the news, than a life no one remembers.

Fixed it for you
My earliest childhood memories ate of me sitting on my dad's lap steering either his 73 Monte Carlo or 30 Model A street rod around town or to the liquor store in the next town over. Cops would smile and wave when we passed them on the road. then there were all the miles riding in the back of my grandpa's puke green 1970ish Chevy C20..
That was in the late 70's and early 80's..
In the early 90's, I figured out that 11 people fit comfortably in my 66 Lincoln if 3 of them were in the trunk, but only 7 people fit in an 86 Mustang hatchback with 2 of them in the back, and no one was comfortable..
Fast forward to 2016 and people accused me of being just slightly better than Hitler for moving my 99 Saturn from one side of my driveway to the other with my 7 week old daughter sitting in my lap..
The best way to know you're alive is almost dying.
In reply to Huckleberry:
Scary and worse yet is that you can spend a period of your youth living on a barrier island boardsailing to and from school, play 2 division 1 sports in college, sail across the Pacific ocean, take a small vessel from the US east coast to Bermuda, skydive with 87 jumps and 3 basejumps, be scuba certified, be a former police officer who was an plain clothes narcotics officer to make an arrest in a gruesome double homicide that involved mutilation and sex acts with the victims, go to work for an alphabet agency in an active theater of combat, transition over to working for a private contractor within said theater as they aren't required to play by the same set of rules, get involved with motorsports, get a paying full-time job in motorsports and still face a long nasty battle with cancer.
Berkeley cancer, it doesn't discriminate (it's only decent trait I guess). It doesn't care if you've lived a life of an over the top adventurous playboy or if you married your high school sweetheart have 3 kids, drive a beige camy and have never been out of state. And it robs the life of those afflicted by it equally.
Don't know who was driving, but I'd bet there's a good chance the cops referred to him as a John. Bring your kids to work day.

We rode to Canada from pa I'm the back of my dad's truck with a cap on it and some Ean bag chairs , it was awesome for a kid
Ski trips as a kid were taken from NY to Vermont in a late'70s Ford Econoline that had front seats and a carpeted platform. Gear went under the platform and 6-8 kids and young adults sprawled around on essentially a small living room floor.
Now I caught utter disbelief from SIL because I picked up her 5 year old from camp in the Miata. Car seat and belted into a Miata (with Hard Dog Bar) but not in a (center) back seat. Kid had a great time, people need to lighten up.

ROCKY POINT!!! 
Was it responsible? Hell no!!!
My parents were not happy after that happened, and that marked the last time I did anything with him without my parents around. This was one of their good friends back in the late 80's, and he was considered "crazy" because he was always doing everything to the limit. He ended up in prison for something drug related not soon after my little ride. He was doing some shady stuff behind the scenes that my family and even his own family didn't know about.
But he did have a sweet blue 1988 IROC 350, and it was awesome.

I would rather die a boring death in 40 years than a spectacular death tomorrow. I didn't know dying was something we were all supposed to be trying to do.
I take plenty of chances, but kind of disagree with some of the tone of this conversation. Calculated risk can be good, trying to kill yourself so you feel something in your strangely empty life is bad.
