Longest 2 weeks in my life
Hello all...I just bought my first Viper('06 Slate Gray vert) last week and am waiting for Gary Almond to deliver it. He ran into a slight snag out west, but would rather wait for him to pick it up then chance it with someone else. I've read some of the shipping horror stories and one of them was my friend and co-worker('94 that got a nice dent in the sidepipe and the shipper didn't want to pay to get it fixed).
Anyways, I'm a former Corvette owner and got tired of seeing my car everywhere, wanted to get something different. My dad has a Yellow '94 and everywhere we went in it, people always waved and wanted to check it out. Just wanted to say Hi and tell you that I can't wait to drive my new rocket!!! |

Re: Longest 2 weeks in my life
Welcome reelsteel, and congratulations on your '06 SLATE GRAY (AWEsome color!!) vert. From what we've heard here, you've got the BEST in transport, Gary Almond!!! Good for you! Can't wait to see your pics, and enjoy your car, bet you aren't sleeping til it gets there, are ya?!! LOL...anticipation!!!!
We've always had Vettes, Z06, and now have an '08 436hp paddle-shifting Vette...LOVE it. Best of both worlds we have now...NO, it in NO WAY compares to the BRUTE of the VIPER...we can now take out both cars and just wreak havoc!!!! ENJOY~~~juli

Re: Longest 2 weeks in my life
Thanks again everyone for the warm welcome.
JohnK...I live in Leonardtown, by Breton Bay Golf Course I can't wait any longer...I was thinking about driving down and getting it, but the weather doesn't look so good this weekend. I hope Gary can make it back to the East Coast by the weekend and possible have my car next week some time. The wife is already making plans to take people for rides at lunch time, since I won't be able to drive it to my work till I get permanent tags for it. |
