About a year and a half ago I got behind the wheel of my dream car. My 02 race yellow RT had just over 1,500 miles on it. I remember nervously watching the miles click off of my approximate 100 mile ride home. By the time I got home I had already put on 25% of the cars historical average miles per year. :omg: Within two weeks I set off on a trip to pick up my spoiler and three piece top. A trip that itself added 600 miles. :crazy2: As sad as I was to see the miles click off, I couldn't help but to keep getting behind the wheel. So as I passed a milestone last night, I felt the need to take a picture.:smirk:

I know that feeling! I got mine a year and a half ago with 1,900 miles on it, and how I just turned 3,000. It is a happy/sad feeling. But, as you said, you just can't help but get behind the wheel again and again and......

I can already see VOI will do some damage to that number...;):rolleyes:

It would have been a better picture if the speedo needle was at 100 as you were rolling to 10000. :D

Unfortunately, where I was driving at the time, had I been doing 100mph my viper would have been the new DARE car.

It really is a bitter sweet feeling to see the speedo turn to that 10,000 milestone but as others have said. Drive it like you stole it!!!

I know the feeling.

Yesterday ---- 31,150 miles


Dang dude - nice going! I've got that many miles on my '96 GTS and it's 12 years old now. But, I bet yours doesn't have near the track miles mine does...:drive:
