On Sunday I attended a performance driving school at a local track. After the school several friends met at a local restaurant for dinner. When we came out to get in our cars we saw a nice white haired lady checking out my 1999 black RT-10. It was filthy from the day on the track, but this lady told me she really liked the car. Her son said that she should see if she can sit in it. I heard that and invited her to jump in and we would take her picture with the cell phone camera. She slid in fairly easily and took up a pose at the wheel. She told us her name is Ivy and that she is 88 years old and how much she enjoyed sitting in the Viper. When she decided to climb out of the car I asked if I could help her and she said she was fine and she slipped out as if she had driven one for years.
We found out she was flying home to Alaska that afternoon to return to Wasilla, Sarah Palin's home town. I told her that my Viiper was purchased from Alaska and that I had photos of Sarah Palin sittting in the very same Viper. At that time it was owned by Ray Agen who sold me the the car. You can check Viper magazine for the article with photos of them at a parade in Anchorage.
I told her I would forward the pictures of Sarah to her son via email and our friend emailed the cellphone shots of her sitting in the car. She told her son that this had really made her day.
When I got my Viper I decided to make sure that anyone that wanted to talk about or sit in the Viper would have their chance as many owners had done for me before I finally got mine. I would have to say that she has set the record for being the oldest that has been in my car so far. I have attached 2 photos of Ivy sitting in my Viper as well as 2 photos of Ray Agen and Sarah Palin.
