This has been an awesome driving season. Have not hit the track except a few autocrosses, but a LOT of driving. Started with a trip to FL in Spring, multiple trips to PA, lot of local driving, and a fall drive to MN. I usually average 9-10k for the 6 months we get to drive but last year I hardly put 3k miles - 2010 made up for it. Some pics below;

Can’t wait to move back to FL

Planned to drive all the way into VA on BRP, but the plan was short lived as the road was closed after about 60 miles. The back roads heading to the interstate were fun too.

Fall drive to MN, but timing was wrong – wrong because there were no more leaves, but PERFECT because it meant no visitors and empty roads everywhere. Trip to FL was fun, but this was by far the best drive of the season. Covered most of the parkways with amazing twists and turns with, once again, no traffic. The car runs stronger the more miles I put, can’t get enough of it.

Hit some rain on the drive back – home after another 3k mile trip - no garage queen here.

A good 4 hours of TLC and it was clean and shiny.

Sadly, the snow is here and the car is put away. Ugh.

Those rims, are they 18in SSR rims? I just bought a used set on them, mine are 18x11 and 18x13. They look really good on B/W viper, nice.

Good for you MV! You are an inspiration!

Try as I may, I can't manage more than about 7G's a year. But they are ALL memorable.

We stay at the Breakers in Palm Beach twice a year fro the last 6-7 years. I've ALWAYS wanted to have my Viper down there. Soooo feeling it from your pics! :headbang:

Now if there's one thing I like to see, it's a dirty Viper!
It's a sign of proper use and love.
14.6K miles in 6 months? All I can say is I'm jealous!

That is awesome, well done :2tu:. The mountain roads in TN are beautiful, aren't they?

Love the mountain roads in TN. Haven't made it to the dragon tail in the viper yet. May be next year.

Yes, SSR's. Mine is a used set too, bought from Copmagnet.

Love the Breakers. I stayed at a friends house by the beach in Delray, but he sold it now, so the next trip will be a stay at the Breakers.

Thanks all.

The AL/TN club will probably have something arranged for a weekend drive late May to mid-June. Keep an eye out for it. We usually get 30 other cars to show from other clubs to join in. Last year we had 43-45 cars. :2tu:

Awesome! Flew out to California, bought mine, turned around and drove it 1000 miles home. Loved it, but still haven't put your kind of mileage on. Rock on!

It was great driving with you on the Chicago Midnight Run in September. Love the look and the SOUND of your car.
