Congrats on your new vette I'm just under two years of ownership and I am tickled to death to drive it as much as I was when I did for the first time.

I'm wondering how long it will take for me to get over the fear of driving it with all the crazies on the road and in parking lots. lol

Kinda like the Nike commercials,,,, JUST DO IT!! The more you drive it the more comfortable/confident you get!! Just remember you can start,stop and turn better than about 90% of what is on the road. Just be observant and defensive and you'll be fine. Maybe almost 40 years of riding a motorcycle makes it second nature for me though! Just take the attitude of,while it IS a Corvette,,,it's still just a car and can be fixed!! These cars are a blast to drive(I drive mine almost every day and for any reason),,relax, get behind the wheel and put a smile on your face!!! Congratulations,,,,it looks like a real beauty there,welcome to the party!! get out there and enjoy!!!
