It was a beautiful Sunday here in New York. I thought it was a perfect day to get some pictures of my 2 Vipers together. So I gave my brother a call to see if he would "mind"
driving one of the cars to a location where I can have a nice background for the cars. He didn't hesitate with saying "yes", although he lives about 45 minutes away, and his wife and son were home!
Now, mind you, he had only driven my 98 Rt/10 once a couple of years ago, and that was just around the block.
I let him take the 2000 GTS creampuff, and I drove the 96 GTS. There's a college campus about 25 minutes away that I thought would be a good location. So, he's following me, we get on a long winding entrance ramp to the expressway, 15mph sign posted, I'm doing about 55-60mph, well...because I do!!! I love to feel all four hugging the road through the turns. I lose sight of him in the rearview mirror. Now we are on the expressway, playing a little "cat and mouse', lets say, just a bit over the speed limit
We get to the college. I look at my brother as he gets out if the car, shaking his head, grinning from ear to ear, and I see it...you know... that look on his face. He's says, "Oh my God Laura, this car is unbelievable, I have to have one"...actually I think his words were, "I need one!!" He went on, and on about how he couldn't believe how fast it is, how it handles, the attention it draws. He said, "We get on the ramp, and the next thing I knew, you were gone", he said, "Here I was "put, putting" along onto the ramp, and I see you moving along, so he figured, ok, "I'll speed up". He couldn't believe the way the car hangs onto the road, at higher speeds, in tight turns. He was definitely, without a doubt Bitten!! Of course, he was then quick to bring it to my attention that, "Hey Laura, you can't drive 2 at the same time, can you?".
I went to his house later that evening, I think his wife was ready to hang me, she told me that he hadn't stopped talking about the car all day, and how he has to have one.
