Default Shocked and humbled

My son came by this evening to bid farewell before moving to Chicago. Before leaving he did something that I'm still trying to come to terms with, which was gifting me his 08 XKR.
Kids these days!

You'd better start saving hard for his Christmas present.

Congratulations!!!! You must have raised him right!! Arlington to Chicago?? Oh my, what a culture shock. I'm sure the chances of the cars' survival is better with you in TX than in Chitown. Enjoy! TM

The impact of Chicago on the car was one of the reasons that he gave it to me when he did. We all used to live there 20 or so years ago, and his sister is still there, so it's almost a homecoming.
