I went to start the car today. Dead battery and a new CTS couldn't jump it. Have to wait to get my truck back and let it charge the car enough to get a jump.

I'm staring at my Viper and my boat, talk about tough. I've been doing some mods on the Viper so at least I'm enjoying doing that.

I was very lucky,, last week southern NY had 2 inches of rain and 55 degrees,, washed all the roads off,, so took the Viper out for a ride with my son,, went over to the "Wizards" to say hi to Chuck,,, was a GREAT day and I am hoping it can get me thru until the spring,, oh yea,, the next day it went back down to 20 degrees and snow showers 4"
Well played viperusa. I was hoping to have the same luck last Saturday b/c it had rained the previous 4 days. Unfortunately the roads were really wet Saturday, so despite the 55 degree weather I couldn't bring mine out.

Hey Strech,, I know what you mean about the wet roads,, my main concern,, but the highway was bone dry,, got up to 150 on a good section,, back roads a little ify so did the speed limit,, it was worth a million bucks

If it makes you feel any better, I drove mine today and might drive it again tomorrow if it isn't too warm out.

What is this winter you speak of? I've heard this before, so maybe there is something to it.
BUT, as I know since Stretch is on this thread and Stretch pours tequila on Cheerios and other breakfast menu items, I will need you to substantiate this claim that winter exists.
Please post:
-> Winter tech specs and ordering options
-> Pricing structure - members and non members
-> Any color pics of winter being used - Viper specific please!
-> Map of Stretch's house showing liquor distribution piping system and dispense locations

Thats what i'm hoping for. March was great last year here in N.E. Ohio. First time since i've had my cars that I was able to take the out and drive around. Come on nice weather in march!!!
omg I HOPE I won't have to wait 3 mos. to drive mine
maybe March...?
I generally use the winter down time to fully clean and detail the car, frame, wheelwells, engine, paint, interior. Its almost as enjoyable as driving it, and helps the winter to pass a little quicker. Next year I may just do Greg Good heads and cam over the winter, in which case I will look forward to it cold, gray months.

ALL it does is rain in GA. I can't remember the last weekend it was warm and/or not raining....4 months ago maybe? I drove my Viper less in 09' than any year since I bought it due to weather...and 2010 has started out the same way. This *****!

I wish my BABY was already here to even look at. All I have right now are just pics (Vegas rental last Apr.) and vids from the net. 
I feel like an expecting parent looking at the just finished baby's room!!

Last time I drove my car was Boxing Day 12/26 Since then the weather has been rubbish! We have had snow on and off and salty roads.
So in the mean time have been doing some work on the braking system, car should be ready for the road again in March But that's a long wait!

I couldn't stand it any longer, so I got the GTS out yesterday and took it for a drive. My first drive. I bought the car in December. Most roads were dry but I still had to wash the car when I got back to the shop before I put the car cover on. My friend told me he saw the Yellow GTS running around yesterday too but I never saw it. I even stopped at a park and took a few pics.

We're out of Cheerios here at casa de Margaritaville, so I had to put the Tequila on the Eggos today.
On to the picture proof of this winter thing....

As for the liquor distrubution & dispensing locations, there are 2 primary locations. One is directly from the frozen drink machine:

The other is straight out of the bottle, of which there are currently 4 to choose from.

What he says.
BREADMAN and I brought Viper home from Davenport in Calgary on Friday after a dyno tune. Freeway was bare and dry. Just HAD to try out new tune.
We each put on about 40 miles and got our FIX. I didn't ask BREADMAN at what speed he got his FIX but I know mine happened about 140 MPH.
Oh, and Davenport did an awsome tune. 561 RWHP with Paxton.
We may have to trailer to good pavement once or twice more before spring.

I went to the garage and pressed the lock button to hear at least the horn working ... the snakes are in a PermaBag (PermaBag® / Auto-Pyjama® / Auto-Storm / TireShoes® von J. F. Stanley & Co.) and not visible 
Where is spring? 6-8 looooooooong weeks away!

I plan on one for spring. I was just trying to get the car started, warmed up, and going to drive it around the parking ramp. I do it once a month.

I started her up yesterday and let her warm for a while. She seemed upset at me but then I grabed her throttle under that hood and rev'd her a few times.... she screamed with a very happy voice. She was feeling lonely out in the garage. All good now though

I am finding myself while sitting out in the garage on the couch watching car stuff and whatnot on TV, staring at the cars as much as the show on!!
They are all resting quietly on tenders awaiting spring.
I absolutely hear you on the waiting part!! I added a 97 B&W last month and have yet to drive it except for the 100 feet or so from the transport to the garage.
Warmer weather will be here soon, until then I will just hang out in the man cave and keep the cars company......

Well it's not b/c of winter that I am not driving mine. Bought it three weeks ago and drove it to TN from NC. Drove it about 3 other times and then found that the Paxton was leaking some oil. Took the paxton off and shipped it to them to get rebuilt. While it has been gone I installed new tires, brake pads, brake fluid, new air filter, and engine oil. Going to be another week till I get that paxton back. It kills me every time the sun comes out!!!

Thanks Leslie,
I'm not sure if it is lowered. I bought it like it is from a dealer. Sure is a fun car.
