I'm back, after selling my last viper (03 SRT) I settled down a little and bought an 06 Flying Spur, which I later sold and replaced with a 3-Pedal 360 Spider (which was one heck of a fun car, I put 15k on it 3 months!) And I just sold that a few weeks ago and bought a beautiful 05 Bentley GT Mulliner, which is an amazing car with its twin turbo V12, comfortable seating for 4, and great looks.

But back to the Viper, it was hot outside last week and I figured I should buy a convertible to keep for the summer and let the Bentley sit in the garage. So I went on craigslist to look for some and stumbled upon a low mileage rt/10, I made the guy an offer, and yesterday parked the car in my garage!

It's a 95 with only 16k Miles! And it has A/C, thank goodness! I am really happy with it so far, even though I only drove it 20 or so miles. It came with a car cover, soft top, soft windows, and my favorite part a cover for the interior, with a zip out section for the driver. The car will need an alignment asap, so I am having that done tomorrow at 7:30am, will post some daylight pics after that!

Glad you got another Viper! The Bentley is pretty sweet too. The tonnau cover sounds nice too...was the zip portion only on the Gen Is?

Did you look at the date code on your tires yet? Might want to slap fresh rubber on and then get the alignment.

Your garage looks like it may have a tall ceiling. Have you thought about putting in a 4-post lift?

How does it feel going from an 05' to a 95'? By the way, if those are the original XGT tires, get RID of them! They will kill you.

The rears are newer tires, but the fronts were the originals I think, had those replaced after I realized the alignment didn't do much.

Going from a 03 to a 95 is a blast, its not as sturdy built at the srt, but it is ALOT more fun to drive, and I really like the interior cover it makes me feel like I'm in some old hot rod.

Love the Viper shots, but throw some pics of that Mulliner up also. If I still lived in Atl, I would love to have one as my DD. It wouldn't go over real well up hear to drive it to work at the plant every day though. We've all got nice toys, but don't take them to work to try to minimize the "us vs them" mentality with the plant workers.

Thanks, I was lucky to find such a spotless and low mileage one, but it's funny because I could care less if it was all scratched up and had 100k miles, I just wanted another Viper :)

And Tom you should definitely consider the Bentley for your next car, everything I needed (well it wasn't much) but the oil filter, plug, and a sensor I was able to get from the VW Dealership for 1/3rd the price the Bentley dealer wanted for the same part. It is also very quick and comfortable, and at 90mph+ on the highway a cool little spoiler even pops up like a Bugatti lol

Where in IL are you? I have seen the Bentley on I-88 a few times(at least I think I did).

Welcome back!

Hey fill-up, I've seen you on Ferrarichat. I'm surprised you sold the 360 Spider, too bad I never got to see it, but glad you are back inside a Viper! :)
