Well it's hard to believe that December is here but here we are, and it was just another day to take the Viper out (and drive to work).

3 days in a row taking out my fun, go fast, street legal race car this time of year, is always a darn good thing and just helps making winter pass, just a little faster!

The way the forecast is shaping up to be, it looks like it will be just another fun car driving weekend in December in greater Chicagoland.

Great day over here today. It should be 50 when I close the dealership at 3. It'll be a fun drive home.

^^^^^^

Sweet murdered out C6!


Just another beautiful, sunny, dry, warm, salt free Saturday in December, to be blasting around in your favorite go fast fun car. Gotta Love El Nino!

Spent the entire afternoon out and about in my Venom Viper, ultimately ended up in Bass Pro in Bollingbrook, IL. GREAT store for those who love the hobbies and sports associated with the great outdoors.

While the Boss frolics in the winter weather, sadly the C7 sits forlornly covered and waiting for Spring.

It felt so nice "to be blasting around in your favorite go fast fun car, on a beautiful, sunny, dry, warm, salt free Saturday in December" as Mopar Jimmy said. I think I'll venture out again today. Enjoy them while we can

As long as the ground is free from snow I will drive the C6. I have a work DD but I have driven faster rear wheel drive cars all year round. No big deal. Cant stop having fun because it gets cold.

I've been driving it as well all week. Been a good year so far. This thread will jinx that now though!

You gotta love it this early December weather has been FANTASTIC and the forecast for the next 7 days looks great too!

Had the Viper out again all day today on this beautiful, warm, sunny, Sunday December 6th. No big surprise I ended up at my favorite store in the metro area Gat Guns, where I did a little pistol shooting and window shopping!
