Biggest Viper Regret (and Redemption)
Last year during the last trimester of our first pregnancy, I thought that the prudent thing to do would be sell my beloved Black/Silver GTS and buy a more 'practical' weekend car, so I bought a Convertible Black/Red M3. Neat car, bad decision!
So, after a few months I started looking for what I thought would be the ultimate (for me) Viper... I had always wanted a blown 2002 Bumblebee, but they only made 37, so I didn't have high hopes - Until I found Cody's (owner of A.R.T.) original BB. I had to have it! So, after a short hiatus, I'm back...
2002 Supercharged Bumblebee with KW Suspension and 19/20 iForged Daytonas (nothing beats that big 5" lip!) Under 11K miles and perfect! I want to thank ViperChad as the car is as described and frankly, he is a good guy and also Gary Almond, who was after a call after 5pm on Friday, had this car in my driveway by Tuesday night (after over 1000 miles).
I will not make the mistake of selling this one - I had never seen a real Bumblebee GTS in person, and I must say - even better than I thought. To me - the BEST color combo ever...

That is a slick car and the wheels work well with the package. Congrats.

Have fun with it.

I do believe that is the one. Beautiful car and I am sure it is tuned just right being that it was Cody's car!

Congrats. I rode around in it, and around it on several cruises. Cody always takes care of his cars and you got a good one.
I have pics somewhere I can post but keep the new ones coming
