I Just Drove 1400 Miles In 23 Hours... The GTS Is Gone... (PIC)

[GARY J]

I just trailered my GTS out of state. I started at 5am on Saturday and pulled back into town at 4am on Sunday. I went 1390 miles in 23 hours, and I stopped 6 times for gas and 45 minutes for dinner, plus about 45 minutes at the shop. I used my Lexus LX470 to pull the car and I was flat out amazed how well that thing did. My old navigator didn't even come close to the way the less powerful Lexus performed. Well I need to go to bed. Goodnight.

Who was the lucky guy that got the car? IMHO, you had one of the best looking Viper on the forum. Man, I would have loved to bought the rims from you

 

[GraphiteGTS]

Not one little nap on that trip?

 

[Yves]

Sweet rims !

A lexus pulling a Viper...I bet you recieved a few nods.

Gary You sold your car? Are you getting another Viper? Hopeso!

 

[tim721]

Wow, thats one of the best looking Vipers I've ever seen!

 

[Dv8tor]

Dude. Those rims are bad ass!

 

[Bigot Bledsoe]

What kind of wheels are those?

 

[RX VIPER]

I hope you didn't sell it to that guy from Lagos, Nigeria Yea, here's a check for 100k from the Bank of Brookhaven.. I just need you to send the overpayment to..

 

[Kiaser]

Where'd ya get that trailer?

 

[J DAWG]

I know you hated to sell that one. I know it will make someone pretty happy.

 

[Simms]

Someone got a beautiful car!!

 

[GARY J]

Guys, guys, guys. I'm sorry I wasn't more clear. I did not sell the car. I just sent it off for a while. I guess my brain wasn't operating correctly.

 

[GraphiteGTS]

He never said he sold.

 

[Supra]

That is a SWEET looking Viper indeed What size wheels on your LX? They look like ~22's?

I am not surprised your LX pulled better than your Navigator. Toyota/Lexus tends to underrate their car's and truck's HP. I know my Tundra (same engine as LX470) tows my Supra (3500+ pounds) and open trailer (~1300 pounds) like a champ. It's no Powerstroke, Cummins or Duramax but it does very well.

It's a car.
Did you think perhaps that you could've driven it?

 

[GARY J]

Jerry,
Spoken like a true smart ass. Sure I could have driven it, but my LX470 is more comfy, and it has navigation and a DVD player. Plus when you are rolling on $12,000 worth of wheels and tires you tend to be cautious about driving on unfamiliar roads, but thanks for the thought!

I guess I could have driven it up and flew back but then I wouldn't have given you anything to be obnoxious about.

Supra,
They are 2 piece 22's.

 

[GARY J]

Graphite,
No not one little nap... I promise!

 

[SnakeBitten]

Jerry,

Supra,
They are 2 piece 22's.

This has to be a first....Never knew a Viper could fit that big a rim...It looks incredible....Ride has to be bumpy as hell with those rubberband tires...Any large pics of it at all angles

 

[CSTER]

The 22" rims are on the Lexus.

 

[GARY J]

Snake,
Supra was asking about the wheels on the Lexus.

The viper is sitting on 20" HRE847's.

 

[thebigsnake]

I get called an abnoxiuos smart ass for stating the obvious.
A rich guy should only drive a comfy LX470.
A Viper is just piece of high-end furniture.

 

[GARY J]

What that was obvious did you state? That I should risk damaging my GTS on the highway just so I could say I drove the car.

"I get called an abnoxiuos smart ass for stating the obvious."

NO not really. You see if I wanted to type like an idiot I would have called you "abnoxiuos", but you see what I called you obnoxious because that is what you clearly are.

Now go have some Canadian Bacon with your "abnoxiuos" and ****!!! Oh and by the way GTF off of my thread!!

 

[Simms]

For what its worth, I would have trailered that distance too.
