Well we are getting married in May, and I really just couldn't keep this from her anymore. A few weeks ago a friend of a friend put up his nice low miles GTS and I just couldn't stop looking at it. My Fiancee Lydia has had the poster of a B/W GTS on her wall since the mid 90's, its literally the only car she really ever lusts after. I've never seen someone so nuts over a car so I've always wanted to "eventually" get her one. Well, the time came sooner rather than later to get a good deal on a nice car, so thats her wedding present!
I thought this was cool, my 50k mile SW C5 Z06 and her GTS.
The poster that started it all!
I was really nervous about giving it to her, but it went really well! She was shocked, happy, all the emotions you can really think of. Says it drives great and she loves everything about it! So I'm sure you guys will be seeing it at some local Viper functions. We've already ordered 19/20" Fikse's from Tony (9ball) for it and JonB got me some lowering caps, and other parts I wanted to change. Eventually it will most likely get a nice heads/cam setup and Gen3 or 4 intake manifold. As of now its bone stock!

She for sure knows the difference, but as far as I'm concerned she can just accept it and be happy lol Originally Posted by ViperVass

That same car motivated me to finish college. I'm sure that car also has a special meaning to Lydia!

Awesome present, wishing you both the best for the future.
I sort of got my car as a wedding present, we were saving up to get married and I saw the car advertised, we spent the wedding budget on the car instead

I love the way a Gen II drives. It's not something I take on long trips but its a great change or pace from my other cars. Originally Posted by Junkie

Congratulations, that's an amazing present. I'm doing exactly the same for my 20th anniversary present to my wife in May.
That's right, she's getting a poster of a Viper.
