Default I guess I'm the newest "Newbie"!?

I've been reading the forum pages for quite a while and have always enjoyed hearing about people finally purchasing their first Viper. I guess it's my turn now - I pulled the trigger on a nice '98 GTS last week. I'll post a link rather than list the details:

It's a done deal but the car has not been delivered. I think my kids are more excited than I am. I closed the deal before I told my wife - anyone else try that before? I'm sure the wounds will heal when the car is delivered. I'm having a lot of trouble sleeping at night waiting for the car to get here. I also feel very fortunate to be only a short drive from Woodhouse - there may be a ROE SC in my future.
I have learned a lot from everyone here and would like to say thankyou for the enthusiasm and information. I look forward to being one of the gang.

Just so you dont feel bad, I told my wife about the car when it got delivered down the street from my home, about 10 minutes before it pulled in the driveway, lol, we're still married!!!

Congrads on the car lee. Did you deal with chris guyer at premier cars? I bought my viper off of him three years ago. Great to deal with. Nice color combo.

Hey Lee, that car was in the middle of the premier showroom gathering this weekend, the car will please you greatly. It has lots of mods and has the best clear coat I have ever seen. just wait till you get it. I'm sure others at the premier gathering will agree with what I said.
congrats on a beauty
oh by the way there was a young couple in a yellow GTS from Omaha at the Premier event . I'm sure his wife could have driven it up to you on their way home. lol...so when are they delivering the car?

When are they delivering the car? That's a good question - winter is coming quickly and I have a lot of driving to do. I am hoping to have it by the end of the week. If not, I may fly down and drive it back. Seven hours may be a long drive in the Viper though.
I am very happy with the degree of modification on this car - not too much, not too little.
Thanks for the feedback

Hi Bob No, I worked with Dick Courtney. He seems like a good guy. I may have given in a little early on price but I've been shopping for quite a while and this car just seemed right.

There must be Viper fever in Nebraska - Fursty is the third guy I've talked to around here who has bought a Viper this last month.

I drove mine home almost 4 hours yesterday and it wasn't bad. It was nice to spend some quality time with her.
