Hey Guys,

I used to be a Viper Guy in my mid 20's (about 10 years ago) and had a 1994 Black RT\10. My wife an I were were pretty active in the VA/MD reigon and met allot of cool people.

Well I'M BACK!!! I picked up a 2006 SRT VOI9 #36 yesterday and I gotta tell you, what a difference from my 1994 RT/10.

Initial impressions, more power than my Ferrari F360 Spider and better sounding although the Ferarri handles much better and has more room in it.

Here is some pics I snapped cleaning up my cars today.

Best,
Brad King

Is everyone getting a Voi9 coupe now-a-days?? I feel left out!

That is one good looking car though. Congratulations. That Ferrari is also looking good too.

It must be tough to decide which car to hop into from those garage pics. What a GOOD problem to have!

Nice choice on the VOI9, such a classic looking combo.

Welcome back! Let me know if I can help you formally rejoin the chapter. PM me if you want information on remaining events or anything else. Christmas Party Dec 15th in Annapolis at Loews Hotel, many of us stay over. Nice choice on the F car also. Happens to be my favorite model and color combo.

I think your Viper makes the Ferrari look like a Checker Cab. However, I might be a bit partial. As far as the guitars go, I have a few and I'll take some pics of them soon and post them up. I have some great classical guitars ( Ramirez 1A, Cordoba 1A) and some worthy electrics, as well ('59 Les Paul with wicked flame top sunburst, 2 hand made BC Rich ******* [made by Bernie Rico before he died], several Strats, including a translucent red with quilted maple and some other glorious Les Pauls with flamed maple tops and translucent finishes).

Nice setup-

The Vipe and that Ferrari look a little weird together IMO....:)

Being a huge VH fan- is that the REAL guitar? Or one made like it?

Welcome to the MD/VA group!!

Welcome to the MD/VA group!!

It is a ESP made EVH Frankenstein made for the Japan market about 10 years ago. Only about 200 made before Eddie pulled the plug on the deal, pretty rare and it has the "brown sound".

JonB! Wow now thats a screen name I remember from the old days! You were the man on this website back then (I assume you still are :2tu: ). You gave me some advise when I was a kid buying my first cool car (94 rt/10). And we did meet way back with Andy. The names I remember were, you, Gary Lashinsky (He hooked me up with tickets to the Lippazanner show he promoted), Gus Strakes, a few others I am sure. Anyway glad to be back!

Hey Brad,
Welcome back Indeed! I remember your great event at your house back in the late '90's -- Congrats on the car, and looking forward to our "twin cars" being together at a future event.
Not many of us left from that era, but the club is still great to be a part of, and I'm sure it will soon seem as though you never left.
