      Good luck with your quest.. I also own a 69 Corvette roadster along with a Gen II and a few 60’s Mustangs.
      A Viper will surly put a smile on your face…

      Hey thanks for the welcome messages guys. I appreciate them.

      Already had a close call/dodged a bullet. A semi-local 2006 with only 18k miles was for sale at $39,900. Seemed too good to be true and sure enough the vehicle history report indicated that there was a pretty significant accident involving airbag deployment and the need to be towed away from the scene. On to the next one.

      I’d like that. I’m in Anne Arundel County. About 15 minutes from downtown Annapolis.

      Welcome aboard Randy. I think you will recognize me from the Corvette Forum. I still love my Vettes but am so glad I bought a Viper a couple of years ago. Wish I bought one sooner. Having both is a good thing. The best thing you can do is get in touch with your local VOA Chapter and get out and drive one. Good luck.

      I’m very familiar with your screen name from vette forum. I have read many of your threads and posts there. Thanks for the welcome.

      AS Capevettes suggests tap into the local club, meet the other owners, you will find lots of help.

      You, sir, are doing something right. Gorgeous stablemates. Is the C6 supersonic blue?

      Yes, Supersonic Blue. Z06 with Z07, carbon package options. Ordered it new in Sep 2010. “Needed” the ACR, but couldn’t bring myself to trade the Corvette, so I kept it too.

      Hi guys. I just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. I am currently the proud…but complacent…owner of a C6 Corvette. I have owned a Mercedes CLS550, a BMW335i, 5 different Corvettes, a Jaguar XK8 convertible and a few others along the way. I’m looking to make the jump into a gen iii Viper in the next 6 months or so. I hope to tap some of the tremendous resources warehoused in this forum to aid in my search. I hope to one day be able to contribute as much, if not more, than I take. Thanks for having me.
