Congrats! Have fun!
And don't forget to save up plenty of money to pay speeding tickets. At 18 years of age, the temptation will overwhelm common sense, lol.
Your very next purchase should be a radar detector.

Happy birthday and congrats... like already said, the C5 is a handful in the wrong hands. Show it respect, keep it shiny side up and enjoy the ride!

Congratulations and best of luck! Tip...you have the performance, power and looks (I have a 2004 torch red vert), so you don't have to prove it to some kid in a Honda tuner. Be safe...you *** is now wrapped in fiberglass! California + Corvettes = ultimate life!

Great looking vette. Looks like you got a nice one and you have the weather to use it a lot. Looking forward by the day to getting mine back out.
Welcome and enjoy, they are fun to drive.

I know ill catch heck for saying this, but just my experience:
I dont know many 18 yr olds mature enough enough to handle the power and temptations. I hope i'm wrong.
My suggestion for license: No speed
it is beautiful, and happy birthday
