It\'s My Story & I\'m Stickin\' To It

Last Month I was out for a ride/errand in the Viper.

So a Older Dodge minivan passes me going the opposite direction on a back road. Driver is hanging out the window. I had my left directional on to take a turn.

So I get where I'm going -park the car. Walking up to a friend's house.

Hi there... you who, exuse me, hello. Is that your car?

Yes. Can we take a video. Sure, no problem.

You see, sir: My nephew is here from France, and he said that he was not going back to France until he saw an American Sports Car called a Dodge Viper.

Aunt; He made me take him to a local dealer- but no Vipers.

Well out of the minivan pops a 10 year old boy. He says; What year is that?

This is a 92. He pipes up... Thats the first year!

A 10 year old in France knows that 92 as the first year Dodge made the Viper. This kid just got an invitation to sit behind the wheel.

So he climbs in and everybody is all smiles. The camera is running and everyone is happy. Lots of small talk. We wrap thing up.

I climb in and off I go.

As suggested earlier in the week- A Dodge Viper Holds its own. I believe in the same class as Ferrari, Porshe.

Loved round the world.

Nice going. The kid will always remember when the nice American let him sit in the Viper. I had a similar experience with some folks from some South American country. Unfortunatly they only had one pic left in their camera.

This may seem silly to some, but I have a supply of 8 x 11 color prints of my avitar that I carry behind the passenger's seat. When I encounter a lad that is just crazy memorized over the Viper I hand one out. I've been asked to sign the photo which I could never bring myself to do but I will note the specifics about the car and the event. I sent more than just a few young fellas home with a twinkle and maybe a dream. I also use the opportunity to communicate things that are really important such as "if you want one of these, work hard, go to college, etc." Parents love stuff!

I had a kid at a gas station that was about 10 years old who ran out in front of me and wanted to look at the car. The mother pleaded with me so I said sure. I invited the kid to sit in the driver's side and he was all smiles until he got out of the car with his shorts!...SIZZLE!!!!!! he scream bloody ****** and hop around the gas station holding his leg. We looked at his leg and it was just a little red. The kid said "that car bite me!"

I had to chuckle.
