Glad you arrived safely and had a good trip! I'd be smiling like that too if my awesome dad gave me a Vette.

On the other hand, cars and alcohol don't go together, so what kind of message is it sending - especially to kids who attend shows or other car events - for the participants to be drinking??

On the other hand, at an event like cfest, in a hotel parking lot when the cars are parked for the night, I don't really have an issue there.

OK. I'll sit down and shut up now.

I generally don't, but have had upon occasion to have an adult beverage at shows. I don't drink and drive, that's why I have Gary Ditto on the after the show libations.
I am really concerned about the driving in a parade. Not only just for safety reasons, the driver, kids along the parade route, people in general, but now for the reputation of that Camaro club. It was irresponsible actions of that participant that can have more repercussions in the future for that group/any Camaro group being involved in public activities.
