Bernie from Tomball is at it again!

[1of1TA1.0]

I can't thank Bernie Katz enough for helping once again. Bernie just delivered my 2016 ACR to me today. This is the second Viper he has helped me with in the last year. Both of my cars have been on the one of one program. He helped me keep things in prospective both times, I tend to be a creature of habit. I have always had a screen name that transcended Vipers and Mustang Cobras (F8L SNK). This was going to be my Tag on the dash plaque for my 2015 1 of 1. Bernie said, it's a car, have fun with it. Well, my friends (Bernie included) have always called me Timmy P, so he suggested this as my plaque. I know to some this may be cheesy, but that meant the world to me. And now both my 15 and 16 ACR have Timmy P as the plaques! Thank you Bernie!

I can't say that is the only thing that impressed me about Bernie but it's what stood out the most. I also want to thank the entire team at Tomball Dodge/Viper Exchange. Courtney helped keep me informed and she also helped to reassure me that I made the right decision. She is as much a car guy as anyone! Andy helped me out with a controller for my 15 and I am sure that is just a small purchase compared to what I am considering. Finally, Morgan, what else can I say. The only other person beside myself that I would let touch my car. I am extremely mechanical but I still call Morgan for advice and help. He is also the only other person that has worked on my cars. It may not seem like much to some, but this is a big deal. I can tell you I am much more mechanical then most techs and much more particular (anal). Morgan is the only person I have personally met that may care more about my car than me. He is excellent as a technician (and a PERSON) and cares about the Viper Owner!

Thank you to the Viper Exchange Team!

Congrats on the new ACR Timmy P! ;)

[345s-bspinnin]

Great taste on that ACRe. I really like the way that grey looks on them. Time to start corner carving :)

[darbgnik]

Can definitely see the difference in your blue vs the comp blue in these pics. Awesome!

[Vprbite]

Good choice on the dash plaque. You should have fun with it. How cool is it you got to order a 1of1 viper? Enjoy the hell out of it because that's the point. I bet the plaque makes you smile everytime you see it.

Nice choices on both vehicles. I love the blue and the ACR in that scheme looks so right.

Congratulations and have fun with it. : )

[ViperJon]

Congrats OP. I concur on Bernie and Viper Exchange. I've bought three new ACR's from him and always got a great price and no bullshiit. Closed deals in an hour. Some other dealers "may" be better with the hand holding, schmoozing and forum presence but Bernie will get you the best price on a Viper period.
Viper Exchange simply wants to sell Vipers and lots of them.

[FLATOUT]

Tim when I was getting started in Vipers you were always someone I looked up to locally. Your builds were always on point and you could really drive them. When you weren't in one for a few years it just wasn't the same. So glad to have you back and can't wait to see what you do with these!

Thank you, the blue really is different when you see it in person but doesn't show up as well in photos.

Thank you sir! I am very glad that I took his advice, they both make me smile!

Bernie to a T! He cares about his customers but wants to make the process very streamlined.

Thanks Andreas, I'm glad it's finally here. Just need the weather to cooperate so I can get some miles on it. Let me know when you guys get settled into the new house. I want to actually see the whole thing this time :)

Thanks Andy! You know you can always be away from things for while and it is amazing how everyone fits right back together. Looking forward to setting this one up on point with your help!

[ViperPete]

Beautiful machine!

Congrats!

I just noticed. On the ACR there is no aluminum trim where the exhaust comes out?

Only if your trade-in's carfax is without blemish...

[1of1TA1.0]

Thank you, and the exhaust tip is round on the ACR with no trim ring. This is true for all ACR's.

Tim:

Nice to see you back, you are a great driver and look forward to seeing you out there again.

Richard

[blk_fxstc]

Congrats Tim, welcome back. Very nice (2) 1 of 1's

[MKSRT]

Congrat and best of luck... The whole crew over there is awesome. There is a reason why i am shipping my T/A i bought from them a few weeks ago back for some work.

[SARaptor]

they look awesome Tim, congrats again, well deserved.

[SharpMan]

Congrats!

What blue is that?

[1of1TA1.0]

It's a one of one color and doesn't have a name, just a color code 479E2!

Thanks Tiago, Mike, Allan and Joey! Glad to be back in them too! Thanks Ripper and MK as well!

[Szeszko02GTSGA]

Bernie and the Team are great folks to work with. I purchased my viper earlier this year from Bernie. Courtney even gave my some and I a tour of the magical viper room.

Lol, I might go back to it. I have it here but can't remember the password and couldn't get it reset for some reason. I just changed to a new screen name :)

Tim:

Nice to see you back, you are a great driver and look forward to seeing you out there again.

Richard


Sorry Richard, I forgot to thank you too! and thanks to blx_fxstc as well

[Nine Ball]

Congrats Tim. I still blame you for making me pull the trigger on my first Viper, in '07. This expensive hobby is all your fault.

Tony

[1of1TA1.0]

LOL! I still remember that photoshoot with Tiago very well! I just planted the seed, you did the rest all on your own. Plus, you were already a car guy before I ever met you!!

Trust me, I know the expense though, it just seems so justifiable :)

Congrats!

What part of Houston are you in?

[1of1TA1.0]

I'm currently in Spring, just sold my house so I might be moving to Cypress or Tomball. I haven't decided just yet. Look forward to meeting you at a local event soon.

[ACRucrazy]

Great looking ACR!

I don't know if that seed planted that day or later on but it definitely left me wanting a Viper as well :D

I still think it's cool that you own both of the cars that were on that magazine cover!

ol blue will always hold a place in my stable.

[Herrsss]

Very cool Tim! Now you have a tough decision to make . . . which car do I drive to a Houston Region Viper Club event!!!

Hope to see you out and about soon.

Beth

[1of1TA1.0]

Sure I will make a few events in both Beth! See you soon
