I always wanted to own a million dollar car, did not think it would only cost me $60k though.

Serial number 1 2013 srt viper was auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson Orange County last year for $300,000. Meaning that guy paid a premium of approx $200,000 to the first one, while Rick Hendrick paid a premium of approx $1,000,000 to get the first C7. Makes that Viper look like a bargain.

Yeah, but 30 years from now 5 million might buy a combo meal at Jack in the Box.

It was pretty cool. Also, pics and videos don't do it justice, it is quite stunning in person.

Yeh, I was the second highest bidder, but I thought "what the heck", and decided to let Rick have it.
