Yesterday was a good day!!!
I officially became a Viper owner. My '97 B/W GTS rolled off the transport around 11am. Checked everything out and the car looked great.
I ended up with an enclosed transport at an open transport price because non of the open transport drivers apparently wanted to take the car. What a bargain at $750 and delivered in 3 days.
Now I just need some good weather so I can go outside and play!

Saw the car yesterday, and it was a good buy. Tim was like a little school girl that woke up with tits. That damn happy.
Keep her parked Tim. Today is pretty, but your tires aren't.

*ahem* 36C's
Let's make sure we get the record straight.
Do I get positive reps if I said I slept in the car last night?
Pics are coming...

In the process of working out a deal on a 97 GTS blue with white stripes. This will be my first Viper too.

Thanks.....now stop reading and go look at your car again!!

Not to my knowledge. There are a few rock chips with touch ups, so it definately isn't virgin. Seller said no and Carfax confirmed.

Tim, congrats!
Just remember to accelerate and brake in a straight line until you get used to it!
