McLendon95, about those making negative comments, don't pay them no mind. They are just razzing you because they CAN. They are older than you are and because of that, they feel that they are entitled to do so - all in good fun - like a regular hazing ritual as you enter the fold of "Corvette Owners" which I am sure you understand.

As has already been stated, the Corvette is a powerful car which can get away from you rather easily. Please drive carefully. Remember, with (great) power comes (great) responsibility (bet you can't tell where that quote is from, ha ha); but I'm sure you already know that. - you're not stupid. In fact, judging by the way that you express yourself in your written text, you sound rather mature. For that reason, I am sure that demonstrating responsibility while driving a 350 HP V8 will not be a problem for you. Enjoy.

Congratulations on your new car. Holy chit! Nice choice, fo' sho'! Daaayyyuuum, 16 and a Corvette. You baller!

PS. Post YOUR OWN pics of your Vette - even if they are just camera pics - when you get her on Thursday.

Peace

Congrats then and take it easy. Quite the car for a first car that's for sure.
