Pemberton finally to retire this June

[Hamrhead]

I certainly don't expect you to remember be, but I spoke with you once or twice over the years.

Congratulations and Stay Well!

Bill, thanks for the questions that you have answered and the commentary that you have provided over the years. Most importantly, thanks for just being a nice guy! Congrats and best of luck!

[Fatboy 18]

Congratulations, Welcome to the Retirement Club, Now Stay Safe.

[Ogme042]

congrats Bill. Can I still use your name get discounts at Woodhouse? Need to get the new tires put on this week.

[SRT_BluByU]

Congratulations and Thank You Bill! I wouldn’t have this wonderful machine ‘Slimer’ without all your help, vast Viper knowledge, and patience!

[FrankBarba]

Congrats. Thanks for your many years of service. We were never able to close a deal, but you were always there to
answer any question that I might have. You will be missed. See you at an event near you....

[CNU_Physics]

Thank you for selling me my dream car, it was a pleasure coming to Woodhouse. You and your team made it one of the best dealership purchases I have ever experienced. I still recommend people to fly over there from Virginia to buy a car or truck. Best wishes and enjoy your retirement!

Congrats Bill! You sold me my dream car in 2003/2004 and I took it to the Ring, to Monaco and across Europe until it was crashed by a dealersship while for service in 2008.

Thanks so much guys and if you call the Parts Dept. ( 1-800-889-1893 ) ask for Tim and tell them you talked to me and that you are a VOA member and you should still be able to get a discount on Parts.

No worries in contacting me, even though I won't be at the Store, if you are interested in any of the vehicles we sell. I will make sure you get to the right person, I will make sure to mention you are a SUPER CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND of mine and they better not screw things up, ha,ha.

Heh, figure if I send them a few customers my idea of hitting them up for some RaceCar sponsorship might work well for me!!!!

Bill - Thanks so much for your personal involvement in and contributions to all things Viper. And to the Woodhouse group up in Knee-brass-kee. I enjoyed our track times together back in the day with Viper Days and the Woodhouse DE at Road Atlanta! We had those Panoz mechanics really scratching their heads about how their cars kept sputtering at the back straight chicane when the Viper Days Red Group guys were flogging them!

Enjoy a Blessed retirement. I look forward to sharing some track time again next summer!

[Bill Pemberton]

Thanks Dean.......those Woodhouse Driving School trips were great and when you get Viper Days drivers in the midst , we had to flog those cars to get them even close to 3/4ths Viper speed, ha.

Hope to see you at the track in the future ----- we all have to make up for the loss of asphalt time from this year.

[Propsail]

You won’t remember me, but I still have the 1994 you sold me about a decade ago. You were the easiest, professional, knowledgeable and nicest salesman I’ve ever dealt with. Enjoy retirement!

I have to admit that those of you who have listed just your first name ( I don't know everyone's moniker ) do make it pretty hard for me to guess if I remember you or not, ha. With some where over 3000 ( truck, car sales ) the old mind works hard to capture all those memories , but a full name, address and car and it has amazed me how many of you I do really remember. Drop me a PM , anytime and I can't express how nice it is to to hear from many of you and I hope to continue that and more as a fellow member of the VOA.

[Track Pack]

Congrats Bill. Thank you for your contributions! Thank you for talking me through my final Viper purchase/order of my '17 GTC w/ TA2 package that you helped me name on the dash as "WRIGHT WAY T/A". My kids still get a kick out of the name... and the car. Always a Class Act. Best wishes, God bless. John from Novi, MI

[Bill Pemberton]

I have to admit I had as much fun helping configure those custom customer built cars almost as much as the new owners. I was fun for me to attempt to get some unique options on the 1 of 1s and the real thanks got to SRT and especially the SRT Marketing Mgr. for flexibility in doing some super interesting Snakes. Of course we can't forget the Top SRT/Dodge Execs who put their signatures on the unique modifications done on the last Generation of Vipers!!

So TrackPack, thanks for letting me share in the build , I loved doing that for you and so many others!!

[gfviperman]

Been a great ride, Bill!! Will never forget the autocross at Chelsea. You got in and I hit the gas pedal... Right away, the commands began ... GO!! Missed that cone!! Left!! GO!!!!! Brake!! Right!! Missed two cones!!! GO!! Left!! GO!! Break!! Go!! Missed that cone!! Left!! Go!! Stop!!! Outside the box!!!

Must have fun, because we did it again ... much better second time. Was too much fun.

You have been great for the Club(s). Enjoy retirement .. I do.

[Bill Pemberton]

Thanks George was talking about you the other day to one of your old New Mexico buddies. I hope you are still enjoying your house on the lake and I know it has been a little bit since we chatted , but I do remember how happy you were to kick back and relax. Easier to do when you have a Viper , right, ha,ha.

[Bill Pemberton]

To answer some of you who have called in the last few days, and this am, I am serious that it is fine to contact me even if I am retired. Some of you have expressed you did not want to bug me after I left Woodhouse, but I put out the offer because the love of the Viper does not go away just because one leaves a Dealership. The passion is why my job was so much fun, but I did want to make it clear you will likely have to contact me through the VOA PM site, as my email at Woodhouse will go down. I do really, really appreciate the kind consideration many of you have expressed , but you will not be bugging me , we will just be chatting venomously and I am sure it will strike a chord with many of us, ha!

[Kurt]

Congratulations Bill! Certainly appreciate your massive dedication to Viper and all of your efforts to support the car on so many levels over the years. Will never forget my first inquiry phone call in regards to a certain 2001 GTS, which turned into a 30 minute conversation between friends. Your passion is contagious! Little did I know at that time we'd be walking down Bourbon St. sharing Viper stories only a few years later. Great memories! Have so much respect for what you've done for the Viper community. Enjoy your retirement!

[Loud]

Congratulations, Bill! Thanks for all your contributions on this forums, etc;

[str5010]

Thank you Bill and congratulations! Hope to see you at a future event!

[Drummerviper]

Congrats

[RacerJRP]

Congrats Bill! Even in your semi-retired days you helped me via phone and email find and evaluate my Viper purchase.

[Bill Pemberton]

No problem and soon in my fully retired days I hope I can still be of service to my Viper friends.

[BlknBlu]

Congrats bud, time to really enjoy life. who knows maybe we will see you at a Crossroads event lol
