Viper Owner
I've always wanted one and here she is, my 2002 RT/10. I'll still use the Audi as my daily driver but maintenance on that thing is so high.
It was a pretty big adventure to get the car. I agreed on a deal with the seller the day he listed the car, but had to wait two weeks for him to come back from vacation. I made all the arrangements (financials, inspection, etc.) and arranged for a friend to drive up with me to PA from MD to buy the car. Everything goes fine and we go into the dealership to find their notary (who I had made arrangements to be there beforehand).
Well, it seems the ambulance that left 30 minutes ago was their notary who just had a stroke! They had another notary on premises but she had a broken hand so couldn't sign!
I really didn't want to wait another day and drive the additional 3.5 hours two extra times so my friend left me in PA and the seller and I went to find a hotel. 5 hotels were sold out and I ended up at a motel straight out of a horror movie. I ate all-you-can-eat crab legs at the place next door, drinking beers with a guy who grew up where I live. Then I caught a ride with a family to the movie theaters and watched 3:10 to Yuma. Had to kill the time somehow! It was late when I was headed out of the movie theater and was having a hard time getting a ride back but luckily I ran into the bartender from the crab place and she drove me back.
I couldn't sleep at all during the next - even had a dream the seller crashed the car and I had to find a ride back to MD. We found a title and tags place in the morning and the drive home was pretty decent. I'm glad the car's home though, can't wait to drive more frequently!
Thanks to PAvenomRT/10 who met me at his dealership for the tech inspection. His input was tremendous throughout the process. I'll also mention that Chuck Tator is every bit the nice and knowledgeable guy that everyone keeps touting him to be!
