My first experience with a Viper was in the form of a brand new Viper truck regular cab in 2005 and thought I hit the pinnacle of Mopar vehicles for me. 2 years later I purchased an 07 SRT PC Charger with 1 delivered mile on it. enjoyed these 2 vehicles for a while and decided I needed a viper. Was working with a good friend of mine Lee Brown on sorting out a nice used example for me. As time passed I nudged him a little but knew the Ram and Charger would have to go. I get a call from Lee to come visit him in Lincoln and states he may have what I was looking for. I drive the 45 miles to see what he has. He meets me in the showroom and I am anxious to see what used Viper he has. he tells me to turn around and says, we are getting you into this car. My jaw drops to the ground and there is no way I would be getting a new 2008 Coupe and in the colors of my dreams. It was like the car was designed for me.
We start crunching the numbers and he really helped me to get what I wanted on a budget at the time. The trade in on my cars was very fair. I am not sure I even slept for the next week knowing what was sitting in my garage. It is also this same memory that got me interested in the Viper club and long term to start our own region. It will go down as one of my most memorable moments ever.
