Going bonkers waiting for delivery of my 1st Viper!

[vincent_esq]

So you all may remember, I flew from N. CA to St. Louis to look at an 03 SRT; loved it and bought it. Paperwork took 2 longs weeks and then on November 17, I hired Passport to deliver my viper. Spoke with Gary Almond, but he could not do it because of his recent health. Passport said pick-up within 1-3 weeks. I said that long? They said it will probably be no where near that long....usually within a week. Now, it's been 2 weeks and one day already, and they have no pick-up date yet. They now change their attitude and say that they have 1 more week. Even if they do pick it up by next Friday, it will take them 1-3 weeks again to get it to San Jose, CA. That will take it all the way through Christmas!!!! OMG!!! I should have just flown to St. Louis and then drive back then. I'm going nuts with the wait, guys!!!!

 

[Cris]

Yeah, but at least you can drive during the winter. Many of the board cannot drive again until spring.

Hoping you get it soon.

 

[SnakeEye]

Oh no...
Hope they get it in gear and make it up to ya.

 

[Y2K5SRT]

Pay for the gas and the flight back and I can have it there within a week... Congrats on your soon-to-be SRT-10!

Pay for the gas and the flight back and I can have it there within a week... Congrats on your soon-to-be SRT-10!

I can have it there in 6 days!

 

[vincent_esq]

any bids for 5 days?

 

[Rapid Transit]

I'll drive it back for you and you don't even have to pay me!

Uh oh, these replies are starting to remind me of the classic movie "Vanishing Point". If I remember correctly it was coast to coast delivery of a hemi challenger (or cuda possibly) by a hired driver. The police tried to catch him...but the hemi was too strong. A dj fed him regular updates about the police over the radio. I think it ends with the car crashing into the blade of a CAT D8 dozer going 100+ MPH.

Better not let it happen to the Viper.

Actually, if Chris (Y2K5SRT) was serious I would not hesitate to take him up on his offer. He could be trusted to treat your car well. Ask around.

i flew out to phoenix and bought mine and drove it back to san diego, only 450 miles, but i wasnt waiting for it to get delivered and even if i did what if it has a scratch on it somewhere, no thanks, go get the car and trailer it or drive it back

 

[vincent_esq]

Well, my GPS says it is 2600 miles away, and now, most of the midwest has snow already or may have snow. I should have done this 2 weeks ago. Oh well. Anyway, I placed the order with Passport and they have until Friday by contract to ship. If not, then I may cancel. If I cancel, I'm the one breaching the contract, and they may not refund me anything.

Vipersrt10,
I sent you a pm.
Vincent,
I have forseen that with the transport companies. The wait would be unbearable.

 

[Y2K5SRT]

You should be able to find other transport companies that can get it to you sooner if Passport fails to come through. And as far as driving it out there, I actually could do it for you if you were interested...

 

[vincent_esq]

Wow, Y2k5srt, you really would do it? I am really impressed with the people on this forum. When I was in the process of buying it, I got countless support and help from the forum. Nascardave actually introduced me to the owner, and Pjb confirmed any hesitation I had by letting me know he has been the tech that has worked on this srt since its "birth". Thank you very much. I am very touched. I may take you up on the offer. However, Passport only has 5 days left. Let's see what they say. You guys are the BEST!!!!

Re: Going bonkers waiting for delivery of my 1st Viper! UPDATE

Ok, I called today, Monday, and have received good news that it is on its way already, and will be here between 7 and 12 business days. That is all the way through the end of next week. Oh, well, it's better than nothing!!!! I actually expected them to wait until the very last day to begin the process!!!
