I said this earlier in another thread but ever since I bought my viper things have been going my way.
but it didn't start out that way.
I bought my first house in July 2004.
on august 13 2004 hurricane Charlie destroyed most of my town.
I got off easy compared to many
waterspout before hurricane hit if this is all piece of cake I thought
my backyard afterwards notice snapped trees everywhere
down the street afterwards
then 1 week after buying my viper this happens.
I am commuting from PT Charlotte to Naples 75 miles each way in what they call down here "season traffic" think 3 hours to go 75 miles.
I have my gf, her mother, and their 2 dogs living with me. their house was destroyed by the hurricane.
I am getting home about 11pm on a Friday evening, turn onto my street and see my gf, her mom the dogs standing outside in the pouring rain surrounded by fire trucks, ambulances and cops. there is smoke streaming out of my garage door.
as i get close I see the firemen running up to my garage door with some type ram. I freak. my brand new car is right behind that door!! we need to get in they say, then use the side door. it's locked. well I have a f*****g key!!!
I unlock the door they push me aside and won't let me in. I peak in just in time to see them getting ready to lower my attic stairs right onto my hood. we are looking for hot spots get the hell outta here.
i bust past them, manually unlock my garage door and tell them I am moving my car. get outta here now! they scream.
f you I'm moving my car and I did.
so I stand in the rain inspecting my car while my gf, mom and dogs are all crying, shivering and shaking. thank god no damage!!
oh yea what about my house.
ends up lightning hit the pole in front traveled down the lines into the house and completely destroyed my rainbird irrigation system. the explosion they heard was the transformer blowing up, the smoke was from the melted plastic.
problem was the viper was parked not even 2 1/2 feet from rainbird.
how is that possible?
what was left of the rainbird ended up across the 2 1/2 car garage on a workbench. pieces of plastic went through the Sheetrock directly above the rain bird which was right next to the viper.
well the only damage I found to the car was a small melted spot in the windshield on the passenger side. seems the rainbird must have ricochet off the windshield to the other side of the garage. if this had been the Friday before my 2003 mustang cobra would have been sitting there smashed. seems the viper was so low it got spared the brunt of it.
fast forward 1 year. I have gone through 1 house, probably 10 gfriends, 2 bikes, 2 jet skies and an ultralight but still have the viper. I don't ever see getting rid of it at least not by choice.
if all this insane stuff was happening to someone else I probably wouldn't believe it either!!
vipers are good luck.... and lots of fun.
