Hmmm... I know one who's 68... so that comes quite close.

The reason I want to see 70-yr-olds driving Vipers is because I don't want to be alone when I'm 70 and still driving.

I'll still have mine when I'm 70. It'll probably have over 500,000 miles on it too.

A friend of mine drove his '95 RT well into his 80's until he couldn't get in and out anymore!
I guess when he was 70 there was no such thing as a Viper!!

I think that'd be the right moment to kill myself... Not being able to enter the Viper...

I'm 22 and I'm on my 2nd Viper -- both paid for with my own money. I owned my first at 20, I'm curious if anyone has purchased one at a younger age then me -- with their own money and not mom & dad's money...
I saw a while back that some kids parents bought him a 00 GTS for his 16th b-day, wonder if he's still alive?

Maybe he is... But probably there's one Viper less out there.

I'd like to see a 70+ year old get in and out of a snake! I used to bump my head every time the hard top was on the RT-10.

I guess it depends on what you consider your own money. For instance you said you were 20 when you purchased your frist Viper then 22 for your second. Did you have a job to EARN money for those two Vipers. Not many 20 year olds can afford $40K+ car, if you did in fact earn it what did you do?. I have a friend who bought his at GTS at 18 along with a Ferrari F360 Modena Spider at 21 with his own money. Of course he didn't earn it, it was from his trust fund that was in his name.

What do you think I meant when I said "my own money"? A trust fund wouldn't have been my own money -- it would have been my parents or guardians money. From 99-03 I sold sports cards/memorabilia via the internet & shows. I had a buyer from HI who was a billionare -- money didn't matter to him (along with a few other top buyers). I would buy the rarest, most hard to find cards in the market -- he would pay whatever for them! Needless to say, it went well...
So when I say "my own money" yes, I paid for them with the money I earned by myself. Not my mom or dad's, not a trust fund, not your money that I stole from you, MY MONEY.
Check my eBay ID: Sean9689 if you don't believe me. I have 1300+ feedback with NO negatives and I'm also an eBay Silver Power Seller. I sell limited edition pens on there now in my spare time (I graduated college in May and now work full time in management/operations in the auto industry).

None of the following apply to me, but:
What if mom and dad give me $2m. Put that money in a savings account and make $40,000 interest, which I use to buy a car. Was that "my" money that I bought the car with?
What if I worked for my dad, and he paid me $75k/yr for some cushy "gofer" job?
Regardless, Sean, that's a great success story. Congrats.

I nor anyone else said you didn't earn it, I asked a simple question and you took it the wrong way. No one is implying you didn't earn what you said you did. Congrats on the success.

23 years old and driving my first Viper. To be honest with everyone I payed for half of my Viper with money I had saved over the course of college from the consulting jobs I had. My parents saved 24k while I was in college also as I had an athletic scholarship so they kicked that money towards the car. The other 15k they figured would be a graduation gift for me but I do consider myself spoiled and am not affraid to admit it.

All you relatively young guys with Vipers need to get over yourselves. Your hands are going to get sore from patting yourselves on the back so much. All you really young guys seem just hell bent to be the youngest person ever to own a Viper. Who gives a sh.. Every couple of months a new thread comes up titled "who is the youngest Viper owner here"..started from some guy so proud of the fact that he got a Viper at such and such an age. Some rare ones got their money entirely by themselves, but most got help from mommy and daddy in some way. Don't kid yourselves. You ain't all that.

All you relatively young guys who made your own money, and were able to purchase your own Viper... GOOD FOR YOU. I mean that in all sincerity! Don't get over yourself... WANT MORE and go get it.
Congrats to all you young guys who were able to come up with the means to purchase your dream car. Thumbs up!

Same goes for me. Props to the young guys who got their Vipers and everything else entirely by themselves. But if you mom and dad bought it for you, or if mom and dad paid for all your college and you just saved up the money to buy a car instead of paying for your own college, or if you're living off a trust fund, or if mom and dad set you up in business or helped you in any way monetarily than get over yourself if you got a Viper at a very young age. Any dipshhh can get mom and dad to pay for everything if they are rich. Ain't nothing special about that.

The last time I spoke with the 16 year old the Viper was fine. Hope it still is. He seemed like a nice kit though. I think he is 18 or 19 now.

You can chill out a little there. I bought my first viper on my own at 23 and my Final Edition at 24. I did it all myself with no financial help from my parents. Jeeze, chill. I get annoyed with young guys who think they are hot $hit because mommy and daddy buy them expensive cars too but there are some of us who have worked hard and done well enough on our own to have a little fun here and there.
