As a result of my previous thread, I held off on buying a Viper and bought a Mustang instead. That was one of the best decisions I made and driving that car has already taught me sooooo much about car control and everything else. It's also taught me that when (not if) I get a Viper, it will be going nowhere near a damp let alone wet road. :lol:
So anyway, now to the subject of this thread! That itch to buy a Viper is back and I'm strongly considering pulling the trigger and then mostly garaging it until spring -- only taking it out on the rare dry days between now and then. Why am I considering doing it now instead of just waiting for spring?
So what do you think? Should I go for it but stick to driving my Mustang 99% of the time? Or should I continue waiting? Your guys' advice was so helpful last time that I'm once again coming to you for your opinions.

- The color I want is rare and I don't want to put it off until I can no longer find one of that color and at a good price
- Even though it's a high end car, it's still likely affected by the convertible price hikes/lows that come with the time of year
- If I buy it this year, I can get a low rate loan from my bank (they limit the oldness of cars they'll loan for)
- It's all I think about!
