When I was a kid, I had two posters on my wall - one of a Lamborghini Countach and one of a red Dodge Viper. Since I don't have the means to buy a new Lambo and wouldn't want a used Gallardo, I started looking for a Gen 5 Viper. After looking around for a bit, I found exactly what I wanted- a black GTS with red Sabelt seats and the carbon fiber package. I told a law school buddy of mine that I was going to fly up to Ohio and drive the car back to Florida and he jumped at the road trip opportunity.
During the trip, so many people would pull up and take pictures that it felt almost uncomfortable at times, though kinda cool too. A little kid in the passenger seat of his dad's 5 series BMW was staring at it like I would have as a kid, so I did a little second-gear pull which made him wave, smile, and say thank you. All in all a pretty cool experience that I'll never forget.
Some pics:
First night at the hotel, I inadvertently parked in a Tesla charging spot (didn't realize until the next morning). Pretty fitting for a car that drinks premium at such a fast rate.
Showing my best friend who's a police officer. Had to get the obligatory "pulled over" photo:
I lowered it about an inch all the way around and took these last night:
