I know, I know... But I'm much more immature... LOL Anyway, I had to throw that in there for some fun.
I agree, the Viper demands a different driving style no doubt. It is a very powerful car that is more like a Bull instead of a Stallion.
We need to catch up before the Holidays man..

Gentle, Smentle... I think maybe your gentle foot might now equal my more spirited driving Alberto
But yea, I am sure with added power, you need to be much more aware and lighter with that right foot. One of these days I might actually get the car fixed and be able to practice those things myself.

Mr. Cobean congrats on those numbers. I would be terrified to drive that car in the cooler days...absolutely no traction. And I still love the bumble bee look, very clean.

One sick machine you have there sir...nicely done.

Thanks Brett. You're right, when it's cold out, the car is a skate. It also doesn't help any that the tires are 6 years old and they're starting to dry out so they're not as soft as they once were. I have to get 'em really warm to get 'em to stick, even when it's not so cold out.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I knew you were in town. I think I was actually out at CFA that Friday, but left before you got there. Family chit...you know.
