Hey, I think I saw you driving south on El Camino Real in San Carlos 3 days ago - around mid day. Bright Orange Viper with a big ass spoiler.

Autozone would be another 0.5 mile south from where I saw you. My office is right there. I was going to see an emergency then saw this bad ass loud Viper rolling down ECR.
I thought you live in Portland but sounds like you live in San Mateo.

hmm, after looking at this thread, a lot has passed through my mind.

Now, I'm only 24 years old, just 2 years out of college, making a very decent salary in a huge accounting firm. But I don't see myself ever being able to afford a Viper in that good of shape, and also have a wife and 2 kids. I'm stumped, and maybe I need a few more years to bank roll some cash (and pay off my student loans) to be able to see a solution to my financial woes (if you consider not owning a Viper a financial woe) but kudos to you, sir. You truly are living the dream, and I respect you for that.

I'll go get into my 13 year old Prelude now and go home....

I love Vipers because only car guys buy them.

Wealthy people buy Ferraris or Lambos just to have a sweet car but give them a Viper and the car will bite them.
