Four years I've had my RT/10 and the responses are just as much as the first year.

Sunday a couple cruised along side of me taking pics and video. When I pulled into a popular eating establishment that serves breasts and wings they followed me in. Turns out they were vacationing from Germany and cruising around Florida checking out racetracks. Too bad they just missed the 12 Hours of Sebring a day earlier. The guy's brother is in the market for a Viper. In typical American hospitality fashion I let them take pics in the Viper and I gave him my email for his bro to contact me in case I could help.

Kinda cool to meet people from other countries...as long as they don't have bombs strapped to them.

Didn't talk politics.

It never ends: Isn't that GREAT? That's what I love about the viper - heck - it's my duty to drive it in public. People seem to love the Viper as much as I do.

This weekend I had two encounters where the other drivers were estatic... I mean you could see how much fun they were having just driving up next to the car.

They were looking and pointing, and asked me to "light it up" -

Since I just can't stand disappointing people -

We were going about 60 mph on HWY 75 heading north - I just did the 4th to 2nd gear and ZING - I was gone. Dropped back down to 60 mph - so they could catch up - it was amazing. They were smiling, laughing, - it's our duty as Viper owners to spread the good chear. (The new exhaust helped a lot - it sounds amazing)

The other car was on an access road driving next me, the guy couldn't keep his excitement bottled up - he just loved the car. While stopped at a light he kept going on how amazing the Viper was and "what a car!!!!"

Share your Viper - it brings happiness!!! :D

I always do my part- it's great to see the little ones bounce up and down, but I really warms the heart to see the 80 old ex-gearheads give the thumbs up too!

Chuch must have left something out - he had to have been thinking there
was an unattached female associated with that group.

I love how Vipers get reactions from people 8 to 80! Women, men, everyone! And did I mention women!

That's my favorite not-fast-related part of Viper ownership...seeing kids fall in love with the "big version" of a car they might just have in their bedrooms.
