I recently purchased my first Viper. Upon checking the MDH it turns out it was built on my birthday! What a pleasant surprise! What are the odds of that?

It is an '02 Graphite GTS w/ the Cognac interior. I've cleaned it up since the pictures were taken. It had < 2,500 miles and I've put over 500 on it in the first week already.

Pictures are in my gallery. That's me backing the car out of the truck. A little scary the first time driving your car and you're up in the air like that. :crazy:

There were 15 Graphite GTS's produced with the Connolly interior. Does anyone know how many of these were monotone with the Connolly?

It's been 25 years since I've driven a vehicle I was proud to be seen in as well as enjoyed to drive. That was a '69 Cougar.

I joined the Motor City group on the trip to the Mopar Show at the Gilmore Car Museum Saturday and we had a great time. What a great bunch of guys! :2tu:

Congratulations! I purchased my car in May of this year, but it wasn't delivered until the 26th of June, just 4 days before my b-day....It's the best present any man (and most women) could ask for!!!

Now I'm feeling guilty. I just checked the speedometer and I'm over 850 miles in 9 days. How can people own these cars and not drive them?

No definite mods planned at this time. I am considering the anthracite SSR wheels at Tirerack though.

Thanks again all!
