Took the Viper out to the SEMA show this week. Figured, if anything would fit in at SEMA, it's a 600-hp, orange sportscar. Along the way I exercised serious restraint, after all, the highway patrol wasn't oblivious to the fact that thousands of car nuts would be making the trip from L.A. to Vegas.
It paid off. Not only did I not get a ticket, but I'm pretty sure my lazy pace returned around 20 miles per gallon. Not bad for an 8.4-liter V10. I'll get the final numbers after I make the return trip.
And by the way, I wasn't the only eye-catching, orange vehicle on the road. Click through to see who else was making their way up I-15 on Monday. Utah game I presume.

Looks like the bus is going from L.A. (Oregon vs. USC) to Utah for (TCU vs. Utah)!
You should've told the Coach (Lee Corso), "Yo! Not so fast, my friend!"

20mpg - I'm jealous!!! My foot seems to be heavy and never provides me with that return. Not only that, but I don't have 600hp at my disposal.
The Viper is dead - long live the Viper!

the car may look like a clown shoe or male genitalia, but the world is better for having it.
