Pulled the trigger !!

[wkdviper]

Well I cant beleive it, but I did it. I fly out this afternoon from Toronto to Chicago to pick up a beautifull 2002 Graphite metalic GTS. I woke up at 4:30 this morning all fired up, and no way could I get back to sleep.

I will post pics when I get back, I've never been so excited about a 9 hour drive, and weather looks good.

Cheers
Steve

to pick up a beautifull 2002 Graphite metalic GTS.

With or without stripes ? With stripes = I'm kind of partial to that color combo.

I live right off 80 East about 2 hrs east of Chicago on your way back to Toronto. If anything comes up with your car and you need help, don't hesitate to contact me.

Congrats. Nice choice.

 

[dsg03svt]

Congrats. That's a great feeling!!! I just did this last week. Except mine was a 12 hour drive to and from Tennessee to San Antonio. The drive up there was hard and the drive home, with it on a trailer behind my truck, was even harder. I wanted to take it off that trailer every second I looked back in my rear view and saw it there!!! Have fun and enjoy it!!!

Okay you should be home by now, how did the trip go? Did Canadian customs spoil your day?

 

[Mopar Boy]

Welcome to the Viper Nation dude!

Very nice choice! So happy to see another Viper in Ont that is NOT red!

If you run into any issues let me know! My car also came in from the US so I might have some info for you if you run into anything!

Yes, do post some trip pics!

And do also join the VCA! Best thing I ever did to my car!

So, are you home with the car now? How was customs?

Good luck with getting it registered. I purchased a Canadian car which I am registering in the US and its some what of a pain. Make sure you get entry forms from customs as most will just wave you through. Also there is a sticker under the hood infront of the driver side window that says the car is EPA compliant in the US and Canada, which will help also.

Hey guys, made it back in one piece, and man what a drive. So before I got into thyis car I had never even been in a Viper never mind drive one. I just knew that I had to have one so I got it.
So besides dodging dead dear in Michigan like every 10 miles, trying not to get blood all over the car, I only got stopped once by a state trooper who couldnt see the temp plate in the window because of the tint.
Guys, I gotta tell you, the first thing I noticed was just how quickly I became comfortable with the car, not overconfident, but it just felt right. I didnt push it too much, but the accelleration was smoothe and powerfull. The other thing I noticed was just how comfortable the car actually is, 9 hrs in the seat and no problem. And gas mileage, wow, approx $70US to drive 550 miles, thats 900km. Thats pretty impressive for a 10 cyl car.

Anyway enough about the drive, here is the pic of my new baby at home, and yes WITH factory stripes !!

Cheers guys, and I truly look forward to more to come.
Steve
I LOVE this car !!

[wkdviper]

Thanks everyone for the great comments, this is a fantastic community of people.

I cant say enough about this car, EVERYONE that sees my car says its one of the most beautifull cars they've ever seen, and you know what, I completely agree (a little biased of course).
The great thing is there are very few of these around up here in Toronto Canada, you may see 2-3 a year..

Thanks again
Steve
