Just to make sure you guys dont get confused, The car isnt for me, it is for my mom who is a Die-Hard Corvette fan pretty much all of her life.

I am 13 and have been into cars from a very little age.

I hope this is okay, because I notice that I am pretty much the only one under 20 here

I was 13 in March of 1983 when the C4s came out. I've been an addict ever since!
