Life is what dreams are made from. Wow owning a C5 Vette at 19, I just couldn't imagine.
Respect it.

Congrats !
Oh, by the way; the brake calipers were not red from the factory. Were they just painted, or have they been upgraded?

Congratulations!! Welcome to the club! Nice to see young guys getting vettes. I'm tired of the rep that vettes are for older people going thru the midlife crisis. These are sweet cars.
At 19 I would have been crazy with it, so be smart, respect the power, and don't let your friends get you in trouble by stupid racing or anything. Let the mods begin!!!
