CROM
Viper Owner
Hey guys, my Red 1998 GTS was delivered this afternoon. I purchased the car from Roanoke Motorsports in Roanoke, Illinois.
I live in Northern Virginia but decided to fly up and take a look at a 98 GTS they had with 5300 miles. I flew up and back all in the same day, what a trip! I purchased the car after looking it over and taking it for a spin. The car is Flawless. Roanoke Motorsports and Dennis Rocke were GREAT. I also got to meet John Gatsman whom many of you here have delt with. Yesterday was a great day but today was even better cause there delivery driver Swede and his wife drove overnight to deliver my viper to my house today at 3pm(along with a toy to another fellow VCA member). Tomorrow I head to the DMV to get some temp plates for it and register the car. Can't wait to get it on the road.
For the Northern VA Area members: Do you recommend any place I should take the car to get the emissions and state safety inspections done? I was just thinking about going to a local service station. I will probably go do it tomorrow.
Also, today while I was playing with the car in my driveway the car locked itself and I could not get it to unlock. I may have accidentally pushed the lock button while the remote was in my pocket but the car would not unlock. I turned the car on and off, hit the lock and unlock buttons on the remote several times. Finally after a few minutes I hit the little lock switch located on the inside part of the drivers side door and the car unlocked itself. Good thing I had the windows down and was already in the car. Ever hear of this happening?
