    The front plate just ruins the Viper's look :(

    Yep. I agree, but it's the only show on TV that somewhat resembles Top Gear, so I'll keep on watching it. :)

    Speaking of, what ever happened to the promise of an American Top Gear? I think it was going to be on NBC.

    Yeah I agree, the Viper is actually mine and I hate the front plate. I never had a front plate on my P-Cars, Lotus or previous Vipers (but do have on my DD), but when I got this Viper I got a ticket from a local cop on the 2nd day I had the car. He made it clear every time he saw me he would ticket me. The good news is that I found a bracket that just clips on like a big clothes pin, no drilling required.

    Every time I see the cop that wrote me the no front plate ticket I give him a friendly wave.

    I thought it was that bit behind the front plate that ruins the look.

    Unfortunately, no. The lighting was bad and my flash ran out of batteries after that shot.
    If I ever get to see it again, I'll definitely post pictures. :)

    Because when you rob a bank in your car, it will be hard to find you without that front plate. Sounds like that guy has some issues. Not all cops are like that. Where was that at? Naperville?

    I saw a red viper that looked just like yours tonight going south on 41 around 5:30. It had the front plate and everything. Was it you?


    I also spotted my first Porsche Panamera tonight. It was black, driving around Glenview. It looked pretty nice, but not all that impressive.

    That's too bad. Vipers + guns, you'd get along with my friend Blair who also has a red SRT/10 and a walk-in safe with $80k worth of guns :) A violin case will also fit in the trunk in case you were wondering :D

    Guilty..... I just took a blast from Lake north to Dundee and back, southbound had too much traffic!!! After a waste of 3 hours at the Bears game, I needed to blow off some steam.

    Guns fit in the viper just fine, actually I can even get golf clubs. It was the Lambo and Jag that could not handle the guns, even when broken down in a case. I'd like to meet Blair.... however, my safe can only hold about 25 guns.
