You should drive a stick for half your life before you get a Viper. Those things are known as "mid life crisis cars" for a reason, I'm sure. And with well over 500 hp at dime, you'd do well to "learn" to drive stick. As in really learn. As in drive one for a few years.

If your folks do the trade-in thing then, if you guys are so apt to take domestics, and if you're so damned spoiled (I admit I'm jealous) then grab a Corvette for a few years and then upgrade. Driving a stick isn't exactly like riding a bike. With that amount of torque you NEED to know what you're doing. And you're not going to get the hang of it in two days.

**** you're right. An 18 year old with a Viper? That's utter crap. Although this I'll say this earnestly, I'm happy for you that your parents are able to indulge you like that. I hope you appreciate it.

I sure hope your parents have instilled some kind of responsibility in you. You better not wind up on the news with brain splattered over the better half of a toll booth.
