After all this wait, do you have the honor of getting the last '13 off the line? (serious)

Thanks all! It aint over until the fat lady sings, and she sings when it's in my driveway. So I'm not quite there yet, but very close to celebration time.

And yes, I bet I made the top 10 list. That is, I've got to be within the last 10 2013s, LOL. I guess that would be the bottom 10 :omg:

Hey, I'm so happy that you finally got some good news.
Sorry I did not post sooner as I was out all day working on the road and enjoying the Viper at the same time.
Mine was supposed to come on the 16 and she showed up on the 12, so have faith, she may be home real soon.
It's really worth it, best damm sports car I ever had !

if they make the rumored stryker green when the vert drops i'd consider an upgrade to the vert.

the car is super fun; as u know I bought it as a weekend toy but the weather was so damn nice today that I just had to bring it out for a sunset cruise; also got my new custom mats installed so killed two birds with one stone. lots of fun; approaching 500 miles now and running her in higher gear at higher speeds and can feel the clutch loosing up and the car breaking in nicely.

need more pics so take delivery asap!

congrats and here's hoping to c it in your driveway sooner rather than later.
there is and should never be any excuse for the delay and the need for some "higher power" to push your delivery! #justsaying
congrats again and enjoy :)

She has arrived!!!! You can see my son is as passionate about Vipers as his father. Antonio was the first non-Chrysler employee to touch it, LOL. Even before his dad.

Very very happy!

Very happy for you, and a great car but just curious why they delivered the car with the Track Pack rims and then the later pictures of you taking the car home at night, the car has the different GTS standard rims? Did you change them out?

What a paint job!!

The rules:
1.). Live the Dream effective immediately
2.). Never stop living the dream.
3.). If you ever feel like ceasing to live the dream, see rules 1 & 2.

Congrats man, looks great.

He bought the hyper black / polished rims a long time ago as his dailies

Congratulations. The looooong wait is finally over... It's been quite a journey and so glad she's finally here and resting comfortably in your garage. Now get out there and enjoy it and welcome to the club!

Thanks. I'm a track rat, I'm saving the Corsas for the Viper's maiden track voyage on Sept 6th at Thunderhill!

I also ordered a set of polished Venoms with P Zeros for street duty. Because I don't yet have the clear wrap installed, I had them swap on my street wheels/tires for the drive home. The Corsas are sticky, and don't want any rock chips.

I should print that out and frame it! Words to live by.

Thanks Rick.

Beautiful car. contrats. I bet your son loves it.

Congrats, hope you and your son have many fun miles/memories in your new Viper!

He's really in to it. He had the honor of touching it first, he actually sat in it first, slammed the hood first, he's obsessed, LOL.

But my daughters are getting into the action too. Friday morning my thirteen year old daughter and I embark on a 3 day road trip / party with the NorCal Viper Club. We are caravanning to Santa Barbara, meeting up with the SoCal Vipers for the California Viper Gathering. Big party, dinner in the Reagan Library, cruises, it's gonna be a blast. I'll post the story when we return.
