It’s my ANNIVERSARY 
,
One year ago today I got a call from the delivery truck, my baby was in town
Took off and went and met her-it was love at first sight! She was purchased sight unseen and I was more than a little nervous. She was gorgeous, every thing I had dreamed of and more. I got in her, stuck the key in and gave it a twist, what a feeling. Then proceeded to drive her back to work-WOW this b*tch has some serious power-I didn’t want the drive back to work to end. I had never even ridden in a Viper before and now I knew what I had been missing. I joined the VCA, bought a Valentine (it has paid for itself MANY times over) and then did the very best modification-I and my wife went to Viper Days.
Now one year and 9,000 miles later I still get that same thrill as I did the first time I drove her. I am more used to the people staring and pointing, I just laugh at the people that want to street race (come on-a Chevy. Cavalier what were they thinking??? ), no longer cringe quite as bad when the front drags on something but I still have a smile plastered across my face when I’m behind the wheel (ever try to explain to your dentist why you gums were sun burned?).
I want to thank the people on this board that took the time to instruct me in what to look for before I purchased, all the dumb questions ya’ll took the time to answer, the VCA member that took the time to look at the car for me (he even wrote a 2 page report!) and most of all the fantastic Viper owners that I have met so far. I still find it hard to believe the camaraderie of this group.
My only regret was waiting this long to buy her. I’m taking off early and going for a cruise.
If you have been thinking about buying a Viper but can’t make up your mind JUST DO IT, I can promise you the only regret you will ever have is not doing it earlier.
Thanks to everyone!
