    Wow, remarkable collection! And my neighbors thought I was crazy for having 3 vipers at one in time.

    Enjoyed the video. Quite a collection. That's just alot of cars to take care of. How many can you drive? Very impressive though.

    They actually drive almost all of them, regularly. I recall reading a story where they keep all the keys in a one bowl. The pull out a key at random, and that is the car that is driven that day. Then, that keep is put in another bowl, and until they are all driven, and then the cycle starts again.

    That is a great video clip. They should do one showcasing every viper that they have. Yea, it'd be a long video but I'd watch it!!
    I'm gonna hafta get my wife to watch this one though. I keep telling her she needs her own viper, but she thinks one is enough...
    Am I the only one with this issue?? lol

    They invited everybody by to check out all the barns on the way to NVE this year. It was great to get to meet them. D'ann actually sent my mother one of the pink mini vipers she had made to match her 1of1 because my mother loves pink and the Rauhs had learned about me from the magazine story. Very nice people.

    Yes they pretty much all get driven. She actually started the VOI blue and white aero coupe for me because it had the arrow engine build done on it and only a few of those cars got that done so it's pretty rare. It sounded awesome.

    Thanks for posting!

    That's a good idea.....until the one you grabbed the keys for is up on a lift and the lift is blocked in by 2 more cars with a car under the lift. Now you have to find the keys for 3 more cars from a bowl full of keys!

    Great problem to have though, I know!
