When i was (10-15yrsold) I was into collecting stuff. ComicBooks, SportsCards, ModelCars
When i was (15-16yrsold) I was really into Vipers and started collecting posters, models, ect...
At some point when I was 16 I was faced with the decision whether or not to buy this real nice 1:18 LeMans race replica Viper model that I had really really wanted for awhile. I was working my 1st job at HappyHarrys and saved up the 80 bucks after a couple paychecks. Just as I was about to drive up to the collectables/toy shop to buy the model I had an epiphany. I asked myself; Why should I waste my money on this useless item when I can start saving NOW and attempt to get a real Viper as soon as possible.
From that moment on my life had changed. No longer was a dreamer. I was now an achiever. I wasn’t that good of a test taker in school but It was my passion for the Viper that drove me to study hard throughout high school & college and get decent grades. 10ys after the starting my “Viper” ING savings account with that 80bucks, I purchased my B/W GTS .
I feel sorry for people that require the instant gratification of little stuff that inevitably that sells them short later in life. I hope that my story can help to motivate others to achieve their goals which is why I always tell it to kids when they ask me how I got the Viper.
