THANKS ALL ! No, I mean T H A N K S !!

Personal musing.......reconsider turning back NOW!

When I began dispensing Viper-advice with the generous help of Team Viper / Dodge Marketing back in 93-1994, and on the Car and Driver site, and later on VCA at the invitation/persuasion of Jay Herbert & Doug Azzarito, I had no idea it would later motivate me to retire early from a 30+ year travel career. [Good timing, leaving THAT venue, eh?]

Turning your passion and hobby into your job should be its own reward. But it only works if you can make the Viper payment, mortgage, and buy some beans...... Thanks to you folks here, I am probably happier this year than I have been in 25+ years. Why else would I be hanging out here on Thanksgiving?! And I want to thank all of you for making it so. It actually feels like a fraternity situation, with friends I have yet to meet! A few of you faceless (for now) friends go back to the C+D site.

Special thanks to "LURKERS" who make contact privately. Last week a guy said he'd saved seventy-leven pages of my stuff over 2+ years, and bought his dream car with my 'hidden' help. Cool, eh?

I hope your own personal satisfaction exceeds mine, and you'll be one happy sled dog! Have a GREAT Thanksgiving.

And THANKS.......I mean it.

Happy Thanksgiving Jon B. Never met you but have enjoyed your commentary. Good Luck, Fred C.

Jon B, Have a happy Thanksgiving, and I mean it! Don't know what a happy sled dog feels like, but I have had the good fortune to meet you at VOI-6. Remember, I was the "spinner" at Gateway on Saturday morning! Also wrote a poem about the Viper that you liked. Did you ever get to try that good old Cincinnati chili when you were there? Will be contacting you about parts soon, as my engine is at Arrow right now getting a good going over and massaging. Again, enjoy your holidays, and thanks for all the enlightenment you give on the Viper! We all learn something whenever you make comments about the Viper.

...and a Very Happy Thanksgiving to You and Yours, JonB. Thanks for all the Viper advice, the wonderful service you give us from PartsRack, and for ALL that you do for the Viper Nation!!

Thank you Jon for rushing the parts out to me in time to be in this morning.

 

[Silver98]

I can only repeat what many said above : Happy Thanksgiving JonB.

You were extremely helpful when I purchased my '98 Silver RT/10.

You traced the car through CAAP and confirmed when it was finally ready.I also keep a large file of extracts from your advice over the last 4 years.

I will contact you soon to ship a set of "special" Pilot Sport to Geneva.

Hope you had a great Turkey day. You ARE the man when it comes to this field!!!!

Jon, You mean a lot to the entire Viper Nation, and especially to those of us you have helped and gotten to know over the years. Thank you for being here. I gotta go, tears are welling up.
