    Long Shot To Ask Volunteers

    Hi Everyone! I am new to this forum! im 27 and live in Waterbury Connecticut! So! This is a very long shot in the dark to ask, im unsure if anything by an awesome member in here can be done. But i am wanting to have a surprise for my father. He is going to be 79 on May 15th 2017, I am not exactly sure how many more years ill have with my dad, and he always talked about someday wanting to ride in a viper! i told him someday i can try to make that happen. He is starting to loose his memory each year as the years go on, and i know deep down he still has that dream of riding in one. He lost his wife and my mom in 2010 in a motor vehicle accident thanks to a drunken teenager. I have not seen much of a smile on his face since 2010, and i really want to bring that smile back with something he likes, and what he has always talked about going for a ride in a Viper! So i am asking if any awesome member in the CT area would volunteer their time and their Viper on his birthday! It would be an awesome gesture and would brighten my dads mood, especially on his 79th birthday! Thanks for reading! ~Chuck Jr~

    Chuck,

    I wish I lived closer, I would not hesitate in a heartbeat. I understand how you are feeling both my mom and father-in-law had dementia and both have passed. I sure that someone close by, either a VOA member or another Viper owner will step forward and honor your request. I think its great that you care enough about your dad to see his wish come true.

    Hope someone responds very soon.

    Chuck, I'm up on Cape Cod so I'm not very close to Waterbury, Ct. I would suggest you post this in the Northeast Section of the Forum. Lots of Ct. area Viper owners that I'm sure would be more than happy to help. If you ever get up this way, we will take that ride. Good luck and Happy Birthday to your Dad.

    Wish I lived closer. Someone make this happen! Great excuse to go for a beautiful spring drive, and a win for all involved.

    Chuck,

    Try the VOA Face Book page, you might get a better response as not all the members view the forum that much. Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Best...?ref=bookmarks

    Hey Plum, hows it going? I'm in touch with Chuck and we are working something out where he may get to see a bunch of Vipers and get a ride in one.
