I'd be more interested to see who is the youngest Viper owner to pay
cash for their Viper, without having to borrow from anyone. Then tell
us what you did to accomplish that goal.
Fair enough - Bought mine at 26 with my own cash, no loans or liens.
I did it by saving up and giving up some of the more fun aspects of my
young life. I have no regrets and, to this day, think it was the second
best decision I EVER made.
I bought my silver 2003 Viper last year when I was 29. I have wanted one since I was 11, but decided to go to college and get more established before I would get one. I love the car and I really appreciate it because I've had to work hard to get here. I've had numerous firebirds/camaros growing up, but never once wanted a corvette. I'm an engineer during the day and a professor at a university at night. I have the best plates in IL (XL SNAKE). Life's all about having fun!
Holy old threads....why'd you have to dig this old thing up?
I felt like 101 when I bought my first GTS ten years ago...every other year of owning and driving the Viper(s) made me 10 years younger - so, I am 1 right now!
Bought mine at 35 with my money and my wife's consent.
Clearly there are a lot of wealthy people on here. I just bought my 2006 SRT Roadster last year at age 44 and that's after working 60 hours a week for the last 15 years. Even still, the bank owns half of my car! Not saying I was saving to get this car for 15 years but there were just too many other expenses going on in my life to be able to afford it. When I was 20-ish, I was driving a $300.00 car and was pretty broke, so owning the SRT now is an accomplishment. I probably would have killed myself in a Viper at that age anyway!
