thanks guys...and yes the viper is my brothers...but the vette and jetta are all mine

the viper ive driven...the thing is a complete monster...it also has some mods...(check sig) it is the badest sounding car i have heard in my life...if you know what a vette with borlas and catbacks headers sounds like...multiply the loudness by about 5 and give it a grunt times about 10...and thats how it sounds....you have to be careful with how hard you stomp the gas because it will bite you in the ****...im usually pretty gentle with it just got on it probbaly once or twice...ive driven it a bunch of times...but everytime i get into the vette...i feel like im driving something with like no power...it feels a lot slower...but it is much more comfortable to ride in (vette seats are a lot more comfy then the vipers...and the viper is just a ruff car)...vettes a lot cooler in the summer months...one thing about the viper is you can't leave it alone in a parking lot...TOO RISKY...a crowd forms right away...and people always stare at you and point and give you the thumbs up...both great cars...vette is a lot more practical...vipers more of a weekend car (hope that was good enough if theres any more questions just ask away )

Great rides and congrats on the weight loss. I lost 35lbs about 3 yrs ago and have kept it off since, all it takes is a little knowledge and sensible eating habits.

Way to loose the weight... I lost about 45 lbs my freshman year of college... wen't from 6' 2" 230 to 6'3" 185... now I'm 6'4" 230 but it's not bulbber anymore =) Being healthy is a great life decision for you.

Not a fan of the wheels on the vette, but damn that Viper looks sick.

Hi Bicky -

You have it looking great!

Congrats on the weight loss - - That's a tough thing to do!

I could stand to lose 30-35lbs myself - you have inspired me - let's see if I can do it!

best regards -
