Ian loves, loves, loves the movie "Cars". Everything he does is centered around Lightning McQueen and he makes endless references to it throughout the day. In fact, he named his big boy bike "Shekicks" because that is the fastest car in the movie. There is nothing faster than Shekicks and frankly with Ian on his bike, there is nothing faster than that as well.
Imagine Ian's surprise when during our trip to Orlando, my dad took Ian with him to meet me after my sister's bridal shower and brought out his corvette to drive him. Now this was a real racing car!! And just like Lightning McQueen, the car was red. Could it get any better!?!?
However, according to Ian, there were a few problems. Ian astutely observed the following;
There were no racing stickers on Papa's car, not even a number 95 on either of the doors; Papa drove way too slow and is now affectionately known by Ian as "Slow Papa"; and Papa doesn't stand a chance racing against Shekicks - because as we all know, Shekicks is the fastest.
As Ian does with everything and everyone around him, he quickly gave my dad's car a nickname. It is now called the "Vette Jet". Papa couldn't be any prouder if he had thought of it himself.
