Follow everything (most everything) Patches tells you and you'll be fine!
Hey, I was 18 when I got my first vette, 35 now and still drive a vette.
Nothing less than eight cylinders in anything I drive!
We are all glad you stayed away from the ricer crowd!

I love this forum....
O.K. where to begin. Should I get custom paint work that says "My other ride is your mother:
Ummm, why don't you ask your parents.... they are the ones that are going to pay for it, right?Oh, and the other 18 yr old w/ rich parents....
Whose azz are you gonna kick? That is funnier than this kid's idea...
Seriously, thanx for not buying rice. But think before you post this stuff....

A good joke is a good joke, but as stated already let the car speak for itself.

And not to change the subject but it amazes me how little kids my age know about Corvettes, sadly i have been asked a lot if the car was front wheel drive. That is depressing.
And i guess i could have got a riced out civic, but then i would be like every other kid out there on the road. Plus the Vette is incredible, and i love it more every time i take it out for a cruise.

well cops already are going to wonder why an 18yr old has a sportscar, so now you'll just be a disrespectful cocky punk.
any girl you date with parents worth a sh*t, are going to tell you to take a hike
and you're asking to get vandalized, beat up, or both.

The problem here is the poster of this thread is serious... I can see where an 18 year old would think it funny... even though I'm 3x pluss his senior... I noticed under his screen name that he is a junior member,... I think he should keep that level for A few more years/// although I've seen many 40 year old with the same level of maturity...
You know I was in Ellicott City Maryland 19 years ago, and it very possible your mother was my other ride.
Son! Is that you?
It's not as funny now is it?

It still is funny, because i can take a joke.
But i do respect all of my fellow Corvette owner's opinions and it is true that putting something like that on a Vette would be a terrible move.

Good decision in NOT getting that on your car.
Insurance rates will be HIGH for a 18 year-old driving a C5 convertible.
I did not get a C5 until I turned 30, at 18 I was driving a 2 door Cutlass Supreme. Some folks here did not get a Corvette until their late 40s or 50s.
So count your blessings...

I, for one, can respect that a whole lot more than some who will argue the most idiotic point into the ground.
I know I did my share of stupid things at 18, but the important thing is to learn from your mistakes, don't repeat them, and grow with the rest of us.
My compliments on your reaction, congrats on having a Vette, drive safe and enjoy the roads!!

EDIT: I should have read all posts before putting in my $.02.
Glad your end decision was what is was.
