So, Justin, I read in the article that you're on your second Viper.  I remember when you bought your first Viper, but I don't remember seeing anywhere about your second Viper. 

What did you get?  I'm guessing the first one impressed you enough that you decided a 2nd Viper was the right car for you after the first ran its course...

This Gen Viper is among my short list of cars to own. I'd love a GTS.

I think the prices are low enough that it could be considered feasible at some point, right?  Plus, these aren't cars that people drive daily.  They are usually kept in a garage and taken out a couple of times a month, if that.  Mileages would probably stay pretty low.

yeah, I didn't know he got a new one! stick with the 'merica plates?

a not eon the review... is it just my computer, or are the pictures wonky? came through all huge and had to scroll... unable to do much with them.


this is a car that you buy because you have dreamt of them... no convincing or anything needed I would think. we passed a white one a few days ago and my son has decided that is what he is "going to buy when I'm 29. then you'll be dead and i'll have your money dad"... well, isn't that nice! it was a sharp car. looked to be one of the last year ones... seemed smaller than the old beasts in person.

i used to be addicted to soap, but i'm clean now

I shopped Vipers while doing my latest purchase. 

Virtually EVERY Viper has some story with it.  And the ones that don't have a story is only because the seller isn't being truthful.   :rofl: :rofl2:

I'd love to try a GTS but Im thinking all that power would be wasted on me as an owner, and no tracks around here.  Well, official ones anyways.   :P

Big  :thumbup: from me for anyone that buys one though.

Every viper owner I’ve ever met has a story about doing a spin out and ending up across the road or in a parking lot, etc. Lol.

Yep.  Pretty much.  Usually with some type of damage.
