For anyone interested, as the title indicates, this year's focus is on the Viper.

There are quite a few events spread out over a few weeks.

I sure hope so. I am not sure if anything lines up with my schedule as of yet. I might be inclined to at least attend a day trip event, ala car show.

Porsche is the marque and Viper is the spotlight car. I'll be bringing both over the couple weeks of events. One thing to be aware of is getting to Schenley Park through Oakland in the morning. I expect it to be huge with Porsche as the marque. Last year was Corvette and we sat 2 hours at basically a standstill. Luckily I took my 911, so I had no problems keeping cool, but there were some newer Corvettes parked off to the side overheated.

Ugh! Thanks for the heads up.

Yes, I always forget about how bad I loath the trip in from the east. When you live in rural anytown USA, a driver going less than 10 mph over the speed limit irks us. Every time I enter the 'Burgh, ala last weekend, I was instantly annoyed by the 3 rear end collisions, the ensuing jams and the 2 dozen close calls in between. I am told it is the only major city in the country without a beltway around it.
