I will tell you smile

When all I want to do is give my cousin a well deserved birthday present for turning 26. Yes he will be 26 and all I wanted was to contact someone who owns a Viper and give the poor kid a ride in it.

I posted on here if anyone knew someone in the US specifically 3 counties that would be willing to give my cousin a ride in a Viper which has been his dream car since it first came out. I believe that it would fully motivate him as he is in a slump of sorts - a mid twenties crisis if you will.

http://www.pistonheads.com/xforums/topic.asp?h=0&a...

So I was told by members of this Viper forum here to contact the Viper Club od USA and so I did. However, since I did not own a Viper and therefore could not provide a VIN number to be PROPERLY welcomed into their forums I have gotten nowhere fast in being able to even find out when an event in our area would be hosted and held.

I emailed the closest person to the president of the group, and then I got the presidents email and emailed that person directly about the matter, only to be ignored and so I give up.

I am pretty pissed to say the least, I mean I never had this much trouble in contacting and meeting with the Lotus Group. Its not like we are some psychos. I would imagine however if he was 14 years old I would have gotten a response to welcome immediately.

Given the fact that he comes from a lower middle class family I dont see the prospect of him owning one any time soon since we were essentially 'on our own' financially the day of our 14th birthday and got a job.

Its sad though, all I want to do is one simple nice act and I cant even contact someone who would care to listen.

Its not your faults of course, but I am hoping someone can help me out perhaps? And perhaps I am taking this out of context with being so upset or offended, maybe it is just a simple misunderstanding, a miscommunication between emails perhaps? Who knows, but I would like to think that the people in the Viper club dont have their heads stuck so far up their arses. And to be honest I am sure IF I COULD contact the group as a whole there will be many willing participants to show my cousin what a Viper is from behind the windshield and not always from in front it looking in.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you in advance!
Paul

smilesmilesmile Ah thank you very much guys!

ViperWizard, I do see now the response from you. I apologize as I must have overlooked your previous posts.

It is unfortunate we missed the Danbury meet today frown

Perhaps I can give you a call tomorrow? (Monday 8/10) to discuss other dates?

Thank you again!
