Don't sweat the small stuff. The kid is obviously jealous and pulling your chain for a reaction. Either ignore him or kill him with kindness. He will eventually go away and you will have something to laugh about at the reunion.

Do concentrate on your education and you will be able to do anything you want with your life (including buying more Sharks if you so desire). Make good lasting relationships and surround yourself with positive people. It is contagious.

Enjoy it because the ride gets faster and it does not go on forever. JMHO

Do what a couple of seniors did back when I was in high school. The seniors were allowed to leave early if they had an afternoon job and no more classes. A couple of them were trash-talking each others cars so they backed them together rear bumper to rear bumper in front of the cafeteria windows so that all of us poor souls stuck in study hall could see. Then they proceeded to smoke'em off in reverse in front of all of us. The one who pushed the other the furthest won!! I never saw something so funny in my life!

Because he went to bed like I asked him to do. And hopefully he went to school all day and is learning how to spell and play well with others.

You're not being fair to your kid, stereotyping him like that. If you think he has self control issues and would not be able to handle a Vette, I'd blame his parents. I had a Vette in Highschool and not once did I get a ticket or get into an accident. Also... I passed English class just fine.

I find that hard to believe, where does a 16-17 year old that needs the parents to sign legal papers to purchase a automobile get that kind of cash to plunk down on a Corvette or any car at that? Your not old enough yet to receive a inheritance or trust fund because if you were you wouldn't need your dad to sign for anything.

So you don't actually have a Corvette in your possesion yet? The way your post sounded it was like you were driving the car, Your not even in high school yet are you?

Yes I would like to see pictures and no you don't have to stand next to it.

She finally did so im going to pick it up and sign the papers Sunday. Sunday night once it's here i'll post pictures for ya you even want a video? Just incase you dont belive that a 15 year old can save his money for a corvette(something ive been wanting since i was 8). Ill even take a min. Long video for ya. So you can sit back and watch it, and say damn what a lucky kid.

I'm not trying to be a "*****", If your getting the car sunday ...great! I wish you the best of luck, there is nothing like owning a C3. But after your first this post in this thread your going to have a lot of growing up to do. I've been around the block a few times and know how big dreams the younger generation can have and will embelish things sometimes.

I will warn you though that a C3 isn't the most practical thing for a 15-16 year old, especially if your already going to have to work on it because they can and will be money pits. That will burn you out quicker than anything if you can't afford to drive your car. If you were my son I would have gotten you something a little newer and reliable, but thats me and everyone is different.

Good Luck with your purchase
