Default Car noob with his first vett

I finally broke down and bought something for myself. Just test driving this thing I had a long chat with another owner at the pump (they gave it to me for a weekend) and invited to 2 car shows, after that I was hooked.

I had a few fast and the furious cars back in highschool but nothing of this caliber and to be honest even the idea of working on it unsupervised scares the hell out of me. I change tires and oil, beyond that I'm a complete novice and this forum has been great for information. If that doesn't give you enough roasting material I drive a prius 90% of the time. I am both excited to learn more about the car and the community.

2006 Base C6 LS2 6.0 White with red interior, stock with cray wheels.

I think you got it backwards. The vette is supposed to be red, not the prius. Just funning with you. Nice looking car, and welcome. The color is just fine, too. I hope it brings you lots of smiles and miles.
