Viper got broken out today first time driving her in 4 months. Spring has officially sprung Gentleman with the roads pretty much salt free and 60 degrees and sunny tomorrow.

Took her right to GAT guns where I shot my brand new Sig. 1911 .45 acp, Nickel Rail Gun.

Needless to say it was a most excellent day!!!!!!

It certainly was Don, a great day indeed.

I know you enjoy your firearms and 1911s so check out this beauty I just picked up (see Sig's website below) and this sweet 1911 performed like a champ right out of the box, 0 issues with 126 rounds fired, accurate as heck, and still looks unfired with that Nickel finish.

I'm glad to see a lot of folks got their babies out this weekend. I had a great one and put 129 miles on my 2009 Viper Coupe and was great to get back in the cockpit again after 4 months.

The end of March 1st of April is always my favorite time of the year b/c it means time for the toys to come out and bye-bye winter.
