Great! Your dad's OK in my book Get back out there... you'll bog / stall / lurch from 1st a couple times and then... bang! - it'll all click and you'll be set!
Ya gotta be ready to borrow it for the big prom when that comes - now that'll be the real test of how much he trusts you!
Good luck!

welcome...from one 16 yr old to another...let me tell you that owning a corvette and driving it daily is like no other experience...especially once you get into the mods. There aren't many of us out there however....enjoy the car, and remember, the easiest way to pick up chicks...is with a Corvette


BTW...according to your profile, your still 15?!?!?
