Uncle on the other side of the family lives back in Minnesota. He made a bunch of money in the 80s as a computer programmer and spends his retired days collecting guns and sports cars. I get to play with them any time we visit back out there. I drove em very timidly, but they FLY through MN country back roads. That Corvette is by far the fastest feeling and the Viper GTS coupe is my dream car to own one day. Even if its old, clunky, and quirky.

ford GT>(C6+Viper)
not too many american supercars that appreciate in value...

haha this car is NOT a power house but I was speaking about some younger people that might not have driven $80,000+ big ass RWD V8 cars before...funny thing is that the little scion is more reliable than a Corvette,Viper,and GT combined..

Sorry I had to.

What you usually do has no bearing on what you do when it's wet.

I'm not gonna lie. Since moving to SoCal, I have seen some of the most retarded driving in storms. Either too slow or too fast, no one seems to know what to do. Driver training in this country really is a joke.

I learned the hard way about oil slicked roads myself when I was 18... but I just understeered into a curb.

Congrats on the new car, don't cock it up.
