I got a new car...

Well... After months of trying to get a GT500 at MSRP, today I finally gave up and went to my other dream car, a Corvette. I bought the Vette for 4k less than the Shelby would have been. Please don't flame me, but this car is a monster. I kept my Mustang so I have the best of both worlds. I don't have anypictures yet, but it is a 2008 6 speed. It is Jet Stream blue(light/medium blue) with ebony interior.

Anyone who flames you for buying a 'Vette is just being an idiot. Performance per dollar, they're great buys, and they're an American Icon just like our Mustangs.

That said, expect a little ribbing... So... did you get your gold chains yet?

Good call on an 08, those LS3s are absolutely unreal. Cam, headers, and a tune and youll be stomping Z06s left and right. Gotta have pics!

Edit: wait, WTF? youre an 18 year old part time casheir/student and you just bought an 08 vette? Somethings not right here...

I don't foresee Walmart's Logistics paying someone enough to afford not only an 08 Vette but the 08 Vette's insurance for an 18 y/o. Not buying it at all...

If he lives at home with a full time job he should ahve no problem affording it. He should have taken the money and saved for a house before buying the car, but that was his decision not mine.

My dad co-signed for me and I am still under his insurance but I am the main driver. My insurance is only 105 a month. My reason for not buying a house is because after I graduate college, I will more than likely be moving out of state.
