It's once in a life time pic and I would have it on my living room wall.

And thumps up for a women who will accept a good time with a car rather than an expansive gift.

Have ya'll ever seen the Viper R/T10 vs Viper (F-16)? There is a video of them racing at Luke AFB, AZ from a couple yrs ago. The Dodge viper won every time.
