Here is a private message I got from gts800itllfly:
"Jay Herbert told me that very many Viper owner now after 14 years have purchased them used at relatively low prices $25-35 m. and are relatively modest income.
Look at how many do all the work themselves.
I know an owner of two VIPERs (purchased used) who still lives with his parents to afford the cars .
Jay said even he is one of those low cost used Viper owners who was offended by mty original comment "all vehicles purchased new".
I have more money in me Vipers than most people's houses in an area like Ann Arbor. Most current Viper owner' think they arrived ,because they have a Viper.My collection includes Ferrari's and a Porsche also purchased new.
Sorry to vent, but after all the doubt , I don't care and have nothing to prove to this bunch.
Prosperity is relative and I know a LOT of people with more than me, so what? "
SO HIS COMMENTS AND 5 DOLLARS WILL GET A CUP OF STARBUCKS COFFEE.THIS INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHAT BIG MONEY REALLY IS.DOES HE THINK THAT THERE ARE JUST A SELECT FEW PEOPLE THAT BUY FERRARIS AND PORSCHES AND OTHER HIGH END CARS NEW?ARE PEOPLE WITH MONEY BETTER THEN PEOPLE WITH MODEST INCOMES?THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER THAT IF INDEED "THE MICHIGAN H.B. HIGH ROLLER"IS RETIRED NOBODY REALLY CARES.HE HAS NO PEER GROUP TO ELEVATE HIMSELF TO FEEL IMPORTANT LIKE WHEN HE WAS THE CHIEF SANITATION ENGINEER FOR THE *** CAR COMPANY HE CLAIMS TO HAVE WORKED FOR.SO HE WANDERS ON TO THE VIPERCLUB ATTEMPTING TO IMPRESS AND AMAZE EVERYONE WITH HIS [******]
