When Cheri Parker's son, Austin, bought a copy of Grand Theft Auto using her credit card, she didn't think anything of it.

Then, the 56-year-old grandmother received the V10-powered surprise of a lifetime.

It seems that Austin's purchase automatically enrolled his mom in a GTA sweepstakes, unbeknownst to either of them. And that's how this North Carolina grandma ended up with the world's only real-life Bravado Banshee.

Okay, so it's not actually a video game car—it's a heavily customized Dodge Viper SRT-10, done up to look exactly like the Bravado Banshee, a fictitious supercar that's featured in every installment of the GTA enterprise.

And what do you do when the world's only GTA supercar lands in your driveway? You drive it.

"It can be very scary," Parker says. "I don't think I've ever had the pedal to the floor. It will go so fast, so quickly, I've been told you need to keep it in a straight line to keep it from going off the road."

Kudos to her for actually driving the beast—and for letting her son Austin, now 19, slide behind the wheel.

"When I first drove it, I felt like I was dreaming," Austin says.

Unfortunately for the Parkers, but fortunately for GTA fans worldwide, the family has decided it's time to part with the muscular supercar.

"It's not really practical for going to the grocery store," Cheri says. "You can probably get two people and maybe a purse in it. The entire trunk is filled with stereo equipment."

Trunk space is minimal.

And while West Coast Customs, who built the car, estimate it could fetch as much as $180,000, the family would be happy to part with it for $70,000. And even Austin is okay with that decision.

"We don't need the car to be happy," he says. "I would rather go to college than have this car. I'm sad to see it go but I know I had some good times with it."
