Welcome and congrats. 
If I can be serious for a minute; please be very, very careful. This car can be a handful for a driver of any age / experience.
Cold weather is here. If you are on summer tires you will find reduced traction -- even in dry weather. This was news to me when I came to the S2000 so I try to pass that on when I can.

Welcome! What part of MD are you in?
Be careful out there. Winter isn't the most forgiving time to get used to RWD, if this is your first RWD car.
Also, please please, check your oil regularly. Seen a bunch of new owners come very close to hurting their cards recently.
As long as you don't crash, or kill your engine, you're going to love your car

Darn Aaron, typing things faster than me... 
+1 to what e3opian said about summer tires. To add to that, don't even THINK about driving on summer tires if there's any amount of snow on the road. It'd be the scariest driving experience you've ever had. Ask me how I know...

Welcome
Don't listen to these fuddy-duddys
Drifting is much easier on worn out summer tires, the car makes more power when low on oil and sounds way cooler with out the air filter cover or even the power robbing air filter.
Drive it like you stole it.
