You bet buddy - plus walking by St. Georges G&CC every morning seeing the crews get the course in shape for opening sometime in the next 2 weeks might be part of the problem as well!

A LOT of FGT guys also own Vipers and various classic muscle. We were accompanied by not less than 4 different Tungsten GT's at points on this trip, all California cars. But none of those guys also had a Viper. There's a local to me Tungsten owner that does have one, but to get to your point, that particular Tungsten IS a Cali car, but that particular owner does not count a Viper among his stable,..................yet.

got it... had dinner the other night at a guy's house, he drives a Mini as his daily and we walk into his garage and he has an electric green Viper GTS, The Tungsten GT, and one of the most beautiful old stang's I've ever seen. Both the stang and the GT were autographed by Carrol shelby... he was a really nice guy.

I miss those roads too!!

You're SO lucky to be where you are. We had a nice little 8" snowfall last night, so no cars for a while yet.

I'm so glad I'm going to Florida next week Gonna check out Heffner's performance shop while we're there!
