Sorry I can't upload full res photos, I wish I could use my Flickr account but it's full at the moment and won't be clean till Sept 1st but in the mean time I have to use photobucket. I'll be more than happy to send the full size pics if any owners cars are posted in the thread and want the full size pics. I didn't have a whole lot of time to spend up there, I missed on a few cars but I didn't want to bother Chuck's mechanics as they were closing up shop for the day. I do plan on going back no doubt, I could have taken a good 100-200 photos with the cars I took pics of but wanted to get back to Jersey before dark and it was already 5 when I got there.
So I spent the week in VT and I stopped in Mass in the morning. Of course I didn't admit it while I was there but I'm sure I'm not the only one but I completely missed the sign at the end of the hill and had to make a U-turn.
I've been wanting to stop at Tators for the longest time (I couldn't tell you how long, but it's probably been as long as the time I've been on here) and Chuck couldn't have been any nicer both to me and my family, he asked questions about my car and talked with dad about the whole deal with Chrysler. It was nice to go there, even just to visit. I could type a book about how passionate I am about the Viper (I've been in 11, only started up 1), that grew into a love a Mopars, which lead to liking the older cars and learning about the history.
To be there talking to Chuck you understand things a bit more, now I'm only a college student and I'm not taking business classes but it really makes you want punch management in the **** really hard once you understand the full story...
Leaving the dealer it really leaves you scratching your head, chin, whatever, just wondering...why did they do this?! My dealership went through the same situation, a hard earned family business that was at least three generations long that formed the basic foundation for the company and not only that but stood with it since the beginning. It's like all the dealers with bad reviews didn't get the boot, what the hell happened?
It's just stupid, I don't want to harp on it, but that's just it. Stupid.
Anyway, back to reality, it was great to see the amount of support that was sitting in that garage. It's a shame they can't open there eyes and check it out for themselves what really was going on there and still is.
I really miss going to the Colts Neck Inn on a Friday, seeing Vipers race and attending the Viper Rendezvous on Saturday in May at Etown (which to me now is just the Mopar Nationals, which I won this year in the Modern Mopar bracket
), now when I see more than one in one spot, it's like a rarity for me as I used to see dozens of vipers a year. To be at Tators and walking around a pile of Vipers it's like remembering the old days as a kid.
