What do YOU do when you can\'t drive it?

We've had rain and wind and I've been just too busy in the last week or two to get the car out for a drive. I've been itching to just get out there and do SOMETHING to it..you know...bonding. ;)

What do you guys do when you're in the mood to tinker?

I sit in it and pretend I am going thru the gears.

I have a Viper addiction and I am working on it.

Me too. People think I am crazy but it is fun. Sometime I just sit in the garage and look for hours. I also wax it quite often so that by the time winter is over it has about 10 coats of wax on it!

LMAO

Rain here for past few days also so I can relate. Not a day goes by when somebody doesn't ask me about the Viper. It really changed the way people treat me and thus my life. I still enjoy just looking at it almost every day. As for now, top is off waiting for the next sunny day even if it's only in the 60's. :)

Re: What do YOU do when you can\'t drive it?

What do i do when i can't drive it? I would just stand (even if it's raining out) and look at the car from different angles (i'm sure if a neighbor were to catch me just standing there motionless and staring aimlessly at the car, they'd probably think that i'm a total weirdo/wacko and move away). There have also been many times when after having stood there for a while, i would get tired and just crouch down and (again) look at the lines of the car and just study it. I did this with my previous sports cars too, though. Even when the car is parked elsewhere, i would often walk backward (cautiously) or walk straight ahead and turn around to look at the car (guess that explains why my neck has been sore) every so often. It doesn't stop there folks, even when i'm walking to my car, i would walk to my car (really slow), then walk around it, then walk to another spot, stop and look at the car THEN get inside, get comfortable and admire the view from the driver's seat out toward the hood. I could go on. Oh yeah, i do this to my girlfriend too.

NOW you're talkin! You have the 'brother' car to mine, so I am thinking the sapphires will need a LOTTA polish/wax this winter.


I told a friend of mine yesterday I would date my Viper if I could :laugh:
It just does something for me a guy just hasn't gotten yet hahaa

I live in Vegas and I can drive it year round. I drove to work twice this week because it was sunny (it's ALWAYS sunny) and 80 degrees.

Re: What do YOU do when you can\'t drive it?

Dream and look at pictures.Remember events,drives,trips,friends.Crawl into the car as soon as the doc's say ok or maybe sneak in a drive before hand.Oh if you mean off season.Run it up,move it around,charge it up,clean something every week or two starting with the interior and get it dirty again in the spring.
