Lots of kids at my son's school get brand new and/or expensive cars - one of them even got a Viper. Within 4 hours of getting the Viper he lost control, went sideways, and hit a utility pole. He didn't get hurt, but the passenger was killed instantly.

Lots of lessons here ... it's not important what they think- it doesn't change the truth. It should be a good running, safe, and functional vehicle for you - THAT'S what is important!
Enjoy your truck and be careful.
