Default SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY....(pic inside)

Never thought I would see a Corvette jump starting a Viper!!! This was at the SoCal meet at Hooters in Ontario. Poor Viper guy!! He was a very cool guy though, didn't catch his name, but he even went on the cruise with us following the get together. Well, here it is!

Yeah, the Viper just happened to be parked in a spot, when a Vette rolled by, died, and stopped right in the perfect place to attach the cables...........

That Viper has a beautiful rear end. The only a$$es I like better are on the C6 Z06, and Angelina Jolie

A dead battery once left me stranded in my Alfa Romeo. I received a jump-start from a Ducati.
