    Finally!

    We are supposed to have 50 degree weather + the next five days.

    I'll finally be able to get the Viper out and drive it. About time.

    Good deal! Having a new TA in the garage and poor driving conditions is a true test of patience.

    I'd like to imagine some of you are sitting in your drivers seats, refreshing your weather ap every 30 seconds waiting to open your garage doors and press that big red Start button...

    Not in the valley of the sun! I no longer have to deal with frozen sunshine. Had to use sunscreen today while washing the Snake today for a Super Car Concours this weekend.

    Our weather is similar this week , but way way too much salt and sand on the roads. Mine has been in hibernation since early Nov.

    Mine is taking a deserved rest after tearing around CoTA for 3 days last weekend. I feel bad for you snowbound Viper owners.

    Mine is sitting in the garage since early November, on the Tender awaiting on the street cleaners to wipe away the mag-chloride from the world. MCS Stage 1 Suspension, Edelbrock Ceramic Headers, Woodhouse Mounts, new brake rotors and pads, all fluids flush, etc, etc, etc. just sitting in boxes waiting for me to get the car and parts over to my Viper Tech. Going to be a great 2014!

    Tire Temps Matter...those CORSAs don't like to be cold, and 50-f aint zactly 140f their favorite temp range! Be careful and have fun, and don't get the new mats dirty

    Wow! 60s here in Denver this weekend! Snow is just a melting like crazy. Feels like Sochi here!

    I may have to take it out tomorrow, assuming it will start.

    I've been out of pocket for a couple of weeks. My wife and I have been practically living at the hospital and then at the hospice with my 88 year old step mother. She passed away two days ago.

    We took the TA out yesterday as a way to try to relax a little after a very stressful couple of weeks. It just rolled over 500 miles so I was finally able to get it above 4,000 RPM. I didn't do anything stupid as I'm terribly fatigued right now and my reflexes aren't back to normal but this thing is so strong it's ridiculous. Rear tires broke loose twice in 1st and 2nd gear and you could feel the traction control doing it's thing and keeping it straight. Of course I wasn't at WOT but enough to know this Viper is totally a different animal than my ACR.

    I just let my younger son drive when we went out (he's 40). He was amazed at the TA's capabilities and handling.
