Happy Birthday to Me!

[Dexter]

I recently purchased my first Viper. Upon checking the MDH it turns out it was built on my birthday! What a pleasant surprise! What are the odds of that?

It is an '02 Graphite GTS w/ the Cognac interior. I've cleaned it up since the pictures were taken. It had < 2,500 miles and I've put over 500 on it in the first week already.

Pictures are in my gallery. That's me backing the car out of the truck. A little scary the first time driving your car and you're up in the air like that.

There were 15 Graphite GTS's produced with the Connolly interior. Does anyone know how many of these were monotone with the Connolly?

It's been 25 years since I've driven a vehicle I was proud to be seen in as well as enjoyed to drive. That was a '69 Cougar.

I joined the Motor City group on the trip to the Mopar Show at the Gilmore Car Museum Saturday and we had a great time. What a great bunch of guys!

Congratulations! I purchased my car in May of this year, but it wasn't delivered until the 26th of June, just 4 days before my b-day....It's the best present any man (and most women) could ask for!!!

Now I'm feeling guilty. I just checked the speedometer and I'm over 850 miles in 9 days. How can people own these cars and not drive them?

No definite mods planned at this time. I am considering the anthracite SSR wheels at Tirerack though.

Thanks again all!
