If you have kept up with this past season of American Idol, or not, you would know that 16-year-old Lauren Alaina placed second to Scotty McCreery during the big finale. It was a nail-biting season but Lauren didn’t totally lose out. Despite new-found fame and a new album coming out featuring Carrie Underwood, this high school girl has a lot to look forward to!

One of those things is a brand new 550-HP Shelby GT500 Ford Mustang convertible. She admitted to having her mom drive it home from the dealership but she is no stranger to a manual transmission, although only armed with a learner’s permit. Check out this lucky girl and her brand new Shelby Mustang!

May be too much ‘Stang for a high school student so hopefully she drives responsibly or doesn’t drive it at all!
