Wiper Wednesday

OK, I'm stretching here... Say it in a stereotypical Russian accent, a la Chekov in The Voyage Home.

Here we have a Hot Wheels Colour Shifter 2006 Viper SRT10, a Hot Wheels 2013 SRT Viper, a Matchbox 1996 Viper GTS & a Johnny Lightning 2008 Viper SRT10 ACR.

JK, do you really think my avatar would be my Charger and my username would refer to it if I actually owned an ACR?

As a perk of purchasing SRT vehicles, Chrysler offers a one-day high-performance driving school that travels around to various tracks that you can attend. Living in SW Ontario, MIS is only a two -hour drive away, so that's where I went. Believe it or not, there's a road course at MIS, outside the back straight.

I actually had a ride around the road course in the above car with one of the instructors driving. We were told, "you can ask the instructors questions about lines, etc. if you want, but if they're being distracted by questions, they will drive slower." I should have talked to him... Holy load my pants!
