Just chirpping in to say Hi, I have had my 06 roadster for several months now, she is very special to me, my mom always told me to go and get one, I had to go to just outside Pittsburgh to find her, But the day I went to sign the papers I recieved a call not 5 minutes after that my mom had passed away, So this car is very important to me in of course the usual ways but in others too.

So took her out to the Gratiot Cruise last weekend(for you Michigan folks) and saw hundreds of vettes,camaros,stangs. but only 2 vipers a blue and white stripe parked and a red that tooted going the other way. That is what I really love about this car, you dont see them, so they attract alot of attention,BUT you also dont have the right people to talk to either about these Babies.

Looking forward to seeing all of you that can make it to the woodward dream cruise next thursday, and talking about these beasts, my wife will probably kill me for sure

My first choice was blue with white stripe, but when this one showed up with only 2700 miles i had to go look and like you said it is a rare color and i luv those rims, nothing wrong with 5 spoke but I really love the rims. The color does grow on you after a while. the guy only put on 60 miles since 2009, what a waste, but everything checked out, i have a little oxidation on the aluminum intake on the motor from it sitting but everything else is golden, or should I say slate pearl metallic:smirk:

Crazy that you say the color grows on you after a while. Slate is the way to go brutha!

I get sooooooo many comments about the color of my car and how it's not the usual slow yellow or red one's that they normally see!

Nice car, fellow slate 06 owner! The color really is tough to appreciate until you SEE it in person.

Funny how things work sometimes... Live can be a B----. Really sorry for your loss.

Welcome to the forums. I'm a new member myself. I live in Warren and would be up for a cruise/meet sometime. If you see an '06 GTS Blue Roadster around town, it's more than likely me! I know a guy Dave with a 2010 Black ACR, not sure if he is a member here or not.....he lives near 23 / Hayes.
