Full Financial Disclosure

[speedracervr4]

I normally tell people how much I paid for it. To me it's not really a big deal. I also make sure I tell them I worked my butt off for it and nothing is free. Hopefully it'll motivate some young kid to work hard...

 

[Zentenk]

It isn't a big deal until you find yourself at gunpoint getting robbed and possibly *****.

 

[speedracervr4]

Situational awarness...If they're gonna rob or **** you, then I'm pretty sure there not gonna ask how much you paid for your Viper prior to doing it.

 

[plumcrazy]

rob me for a ~ $35-40K car ? they can have it, i have insurance and id be better off. and good luck trying to **** me...

 

[JohnnyViper]

its ok if I get ***** as long as its by a super hot girl...lol

 

[plumcrazy]

amen.......lol

 

[DeceptioN]

Why aren't there any hot girls going around on ****** rampages? I bet if there ever was 1, there would be a bunch of stabbings afterwards from all the guys waiting around in the most dangerous areas possible hoping for their turn.

I came out of WM this evening and late teen guys were looking the car over. As I approached one of the said, "we were just waiting to hear you start it up." I asked if they would like to see under the hood and they said yes, so I showed them.
They asked what kind of radar detector I was running and I told them. One asked how much a car like that would cost and I told them. Very polite, so I think it depends upon the person or people, whether young or old, most are respectful and are just admiring the Viper.

Is that a challenge?

"How much does your car cost?"

"Around $35,000 now for Gen2"

"SURPRISE!!!"
*******
That is how it will happen one day...

You can usually tell people who are genuinely interested in the car from those that just want to start **** or pry into your personal life.

 

[plumcrazy]

zentenk, why would YOU wanna **** ME ?

 

[DeceptioN]

I prefer when people that don't know about cars ask me these kinds of questions. To them I'm the king of the world driving a Dodge GT with 2000 HP that costs $1 million.

I hate when that happens. Sometimes I'm not even done finishing my sentence and Bam!, *******.

True... **** me once, shame on you. **** me twice...

 

[jmasin]

Okay, you first. Post your earnings statement and I'll post mine, like a 1/4 mile time slip, lol. Or should we count to 3 and do it at the same time? Wait, wait, do we go on 3 or count 1, 2, 3, then go?

 

[Dom426h]

Q. How much did you pay for it?
A. 10 Years
Q. What?
A. 10 Years of my life

One of Two responses:

A. OK, cool (they get it)
A. She's open, have a seat if youd like

B. Huh???
B. It took me 10 years of education & working & saving. The car is priceless to me.




If its a Kid and they are really into the car i am sure to give them a few words of advice:
-The Viper was my motivation to do good in school and that they too should have a goal wether it be buying a nice car or a house.
-Rather than wasting $$$ on rent after college i choose live with my parents for a couple years to save up my money.
-Dont waste your $$$ on "intermediate" cars they depreciate and lose your $$$, save that $$$ for a car that your Really want. I cant stand when i see kids pouring their hard earned $$$ ricing out a car that you Know they will not be driving a few years from now. What do you really want? Life is what you make it. Dont sell yourself short!

Polite enthusiasts get the MSRP Answer and maybe I elaborate a bit on rarity - resale values.

My new, BEST answer is "I dont discuss personal finances with strangers." Tnx Bob.

 

[Zentenk]

Should say, "Cost less than my wife."

My grandpa told me, "Get a car or a girlfriend, you can't have both." hahaha

Ok - you funny buggers are making me laugh -please stop. latamud - about 10 of those answers made me laugh out loud and wake the kids

 

[BigBadViper]

I usually tell them what I did and how I was able to afford it. Started a business work 100+ hours per week. I don't find it as that big of a deal.

I also tell them that in the last 3 races I have made a total of 1/4 of one tire rotation and it has cost me 2 rear ends, 2 transmissions, and a set of axles.

I know I was at the track last year and this guy with 2 kids was over looking at the car and he told them to stay away and don't touch it because the last guy chewed them out. I told them to jump in and take some pictures. There is nothing that his 50 pound kids could do that my 225 pound ass doesn't hurt.

What if you can be that guy that can motivate that kid to stay in school so that they can eventually afford a car like yours, instead of just being the ******** car owner.

Should say your a **** star.

I had a friend of mine who was in the winged warrior club, (superbirds, daytona's etc) there was a fellow in that club who had a license plate that read TV STAR!! Guess what, he was a **** star. LOL His superbird was beat to ****, but I always thought that was hilarious.
