I had a sick 1988 1/2 Ford EXP with a rusted out floor... R.I.P. :burnout:

A 1991 5.0 Ford Thunderbird... R.I.P. :omg:

A 1998 Mustang GT Convertible... Currently being "restored" by my dad. :cool:

Hopefully I can find pictures of them all. I think to post them would be a waste of bandwith though and a HUGE dis-service to the Viper community... :crazy2:

In Europe everyone rides a bus/tram/train, and so did I. I never owned a car until I moved to the US in 2001. These are the cars I have owned since then:

2001: Pontiac Trans Am ('97). Engine stalled when driving over water puddles. Annoying!
2003: Corvette Coupe ('00). The previous owner had put some annoying scratches in the paint, otherwise a fine car!
2004: Corvette Z06 ('04). The nannytech gave me a reckess driving ticket (officer judged hitting rev limiter=wheel spin). Thanks to the officer, I dumped this car in favor of the Viper. No problems since the switch. Guess the Corvette was not manly enough for my handling preference :D
2004: Mustang GT ('02). I still own this car - no problems with 85k miles !!!
2006: Viper SRT-10 ('06). Brand new with 3 miles on eBay @$72k. How could I resist. Bud's in Celina, OH are great!
2008: Viper SRT-10 ('08). I still own this car. (The '06 was a better build, but the '08 is more powerful. Still questioning if the $30k upgrade made sense).

I take great pride in only owning US made cars! :usa:

Go watch Napoleon Dynamite. The boat the Mexicans drive? That was my first car--1974 Pontiac Grandville. My friends called it the "Pimpmobile." Great fun, crappy mileage...

Every muscle car Mopar built between 66 and 75, various versions of Charger & Magnum. Then I started installing Big Blocks into Dusters, Darts and older 'cudas. Built quite a few Prostreeters and then built a full-chassis Plymouth Fire Arrow with 440 power. 10.4 in street trim and mid 9s.

9 sec 68 cuda with a Motown Missle suspension. Owned 4 68 cuda fbs and BB 3 of them. 7 GTXs, 4 R/Ts, 1 67 Hemi Charger, 2 RRs, 6 Chargers, 5 Dusters (2 340s and 3 440s), 4 Darts (1 440), 3 Powerwagons, 1 Scamp, 74 gtx, 2 Cordobas, various Newports and New Yorkers.

Then bad days and I traded/bought a couple of GMs. They all worked out badly for me, including the Pontiac I bought in 78. Bought a couple Fords for DD and they made me back my money. Bought a GM pickup and the Head bolt threads RUSTED (?) and then antifreeze leaked into the block after 1 trip of 800miles. Bought a Ford F150 and it lasted me a few years then the steering box bolts pulled through the frame - I left it with the keys in it and walked. Had a few BB Powerwagons and towed happily for many years. Built up a stepside Powerwagon with a 440- 6 psk and won some mudbog competitions. Then I inherited another F150 and now have 215,000miles on that, but it's a POS.

Last decade I've been learning Fuel Injection and Forced Induction with a half dozen modified Shebly Turbo Daytonas and Chargers (146hp - 400hp) and two Stealth Twin Turbo (300-500hp) cars ... then two Supercharged Vipers.

I've built everything (drag, pro-comp, Prostreet, Show Cars, custom, restorations, Sleepers, rally, Mud bog, Monster truck (44" tires) street and non-streetable) and competed in nearly everything except Demolition and SCCA, although I have taken HP Drivng. I enjoyed Mountain Climb Rally the best so far. I'd love road racing, but with someone else's Viper, lol.

ex-wife sold that car and that's why she's EX.

Although I've had prettier show cars, my Arrow was tons faster and my current Duster is the Best sounding car I've ever owned ... this is what the Viper does BEST...

Cruise down the highway for a thousand miles going home AFTER kickin' ass or just showin' off at the track.

Nice shot, notice the car in front and leading the way.
