Welcome, as others have said, don't turn off the VDC. Don't drive like a maniac. You are not speed racer, so don't go zipping around like a fool. Don't take turns at 90 mph. So in general drive safetly. Its a fairly powerful car, and a 17 year old boy will do what 17 year olds do, and as your first car you'll find it may not be as forgiving as you may think.
I may of dated myself with the speed racer comment but this is Speed Racer
