Well guys we just pulled the car into the garage this afternoon! We are registering it tomorrow and getting it on the road!

I found one little nic behind the front wheel on the fender... but other than that its PERFECT! Ill touch it up and thats that, can't go crazy. Im so happy, I am so happy for my dad, its what he has always wanted. I never thought this would happen, let alone at my age... Im so excited to become a part of such a pretigous family of car owners!

Ill get pictures up probably in the next few days!

Can I adopt you?

It's apparent your Dad brought you up to appreciate the finer things in life at your young age (that took me 42 years to acquire!) You show an incredible level of maturity and appreciation for your age. And it shows by the tone of the responses you received from your post. Trust me, if you were a spoiled, snot nosed, narsicistic, hormonally deranged teenager, they would have ripped you to shreds and spit you out to boot!

You will learn so much here on the forum. I don't know where I would be without the advice and help from everyone here. Without the support net that I have, I seriously would not have purchased a Corvette.
