Some very cool bday gifts I got

[V10SpeedLuvr]

Well, today I officially start my journey "over the hill". I turned 25 today, but dont let the age fool you....im high mileage as heck As part of my bday, my aunt gave me these photos that she took the day I picked up my RT. I was so anxious to get the car, I somehow completely forgot to take my camera that day So, it was really cool to get them as a surprise because I had honestly forgotten anyone had taken photos. She also put photo #1 in a frame that says "A Day To Remember" at the bottom.

Me still in shock that I just bought a Viper

Back to GA we go: (I had just stopped at a gas station and put the hardtop in the back of my mom's Montero Sport)

The most common view people get of Vipers:

^ I was thinkin' the same thing, but I'm guessing that since you were buying your first Viper, your blood pressure was probably about 400 over 1000, I know mine will be when the ACR gets here.

Happy B-Day man.

Youre right about all that plus Im one of the people who can never do a good smile for photos. I look like Chandler from Friends when I try to "pose" for a photo (that'll make sense if youve seen that episode)

ROFL....yep...seen it. I'm the same way.

Crap, you guys as well??? I thought I was the only one who can never seem to be photogenic
Happy birthday Chad, great birthday present, though I hope it was not the only thing you got today ?

Working your a$$ off so you can buy the Viper you always wanted: +- $30000-$40000
Going to the destination to finally pick one up: topping off your gas tank a few times.
Getting the "Dont get any speeding tickets on the way home" speech from mom: PRICELESS


By the way.. looking at that last picture of the highway and your location.. did you play Jerry Reed - The Legend and/or Eastbound And Down (Westbound And Down if you're heading in the other direction) on your way back by any chance ? That would have made the entire trip perfect

LOL, My wife and I have the same joke going. I can't fake a smile to save myself.

I had an old girl friend who was a photographer, and she would flash me a *** or some bush just before she’d snap my picture. Most of the time I'd just end up laughing because we were in some public area

Don't get me wrong Chad I'm not suggesting your Mom flash you

Priceless photos though, did your palms sweat for the first few weeks of driving? Mine did.
