Any Northerners still driving there Vipers???

[00prowler]

In CT we have had no snow or ice yet. I am still driving my car. I even used it on Christmas!! It seems most people tucked there cars away for the winter, but why not use if the weather is good? It will make the winter short for sure...Anyone else still driving??/...AL

 

[IEATVETS]

Not me. They lay the salt pretty thick up in my parts. It did rain last week for 2 days and washed all of the salt away but mine is in hibernation until spring.
Go ahead "southerner's"..........laugh!!

Xmas Eve.

I sneak mine out when the streets are dry. The temps are usually in the teens or twenties but I like that.....it runs better.

There's light snow now.. but just over a week ago I posted this goofy short video after thinking I could drive over my digital camera.. it would have been embarrassing to ask Santa for a new one, but luckily it cleared ok..

I am driving daily. Why not????

I tried driving mine with the temps in the low 40's and the tires were spinning like they were made of grease.

Whenever I am not too busy I am driving it..I just have tried to stay out of the heavy holiday traffic, but definitely using it! We are blessed with this weather.

Still driving in mild Western Colorado. The Denver Viper boys on the east side of the rockies may be a bit challenged driving Vipers just now, with 2 feet of snow.

I drive mine when the roads are clear. The engine feels a lot stronger in the cold weather & the tires break loose rear easy making it a blast to drive.

Funny - when I lived in Maryland I used to drive my Gen I & II RT-10s with the top off while on the low 40s...my wife and I bundled up and went for a drive. Very little snow up there but after the first snow they put a ton of salt on the roads and I did not drive it until rain washed it away.

Now I live in Florida, 500 yards off the beach, and my garage faces the beach so I actually get a salt film on it even with the cover on. And my drive to work is straight up A1A so needless to say, I'd never drive my SRT-10 if I was worried about salt!

 

[my viper]

Hasn't snowed in a while here in Chicago and the rain cleared out all the salt. So, yes, driving the viper pretty much everyday even though the temps are low. Loving every minute.

 

[BADVENOM]

CAN I GET A HELL YEAH!

 

[BlueGTS]

I drove it just before Thanksgiving and it was no fun as it was spinning all over the place. I am not a fan of driving when I can't put my foot down and stick.

 

[crazyspeed]

HELL YEAH.... JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY

 

[wastntim]

Just found out that I can cut my insurance down by putting in storage and dropping coverage. So that's it. it's away till spring. I'm just stuck driving the lexus till then.

Yeah, I have that option too. But there is no way I'm doing that.

Where did it go? Did you sell it D?

 

[Madduc]

Took mine out today for a nice 95 mile exercise.

Weather is perfect. Christmas Eve:

http://www4.forum.viperclub.org/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=774157&an=0&page=0#Post774157

And been driving the car as a daily driver for the whole week. Absolutely loving it. I think I have put about 500 miles on it this week and I am loving every minute of it, well except for the gas prices.

At Chucks still getting parted out. Looks great on the lift though.

 

[Leslie]

wow great pictures!

 

[SylvanSRT]

i went for a ride over the xmas wknd and would have today if i got home from work a little earlier.

 

[SERPENT INDY]

....mine are all tucked away for the winter.....got a new storage facility and I needed to move lots of cars, so the Vipers got parked earlier than usual this year...with the mild weather, I may break one back out

 

[Randy]

Driving it every day, except when its raining (no reason to get it dirty when the 4wd is better in the rain anyway).

Perhaps you didn't mean to included Northern California.

 

[ndvipergtsr]

Just had mine out for a couple hours yesterday. 43f seems like spring, for now.

 

[DodgeViper01]

wow great pictures!

Thanks. Just trying to drive it as much as possible.

I'm in Toronto, and I drove mine right up until Christmas, but it finally snowed yestrday so I think she's going into her bubble for the winter very soon.
