Hey Guys,

My sleep pattern is all screwed up at the moment and my luggage is 24hrs behind me, sitting around at LAX airport bcoz they forgot to load it on the plane which is always a nice way to end a whirlwind tour of the US and the Caribbean.

Mission while in the big smoke...

#1 Have a Crazy Time = Achieved

#2 Catch a glimpse of a Dodge Viper = Achieved (Just...)

I love the cars they drive in the states, lots and lots of Stangs and damn they look good, sure wish we had the option over here at a reasonable price. Everything is BIG, from SUV's to Pickups, man our Xr6's would feel Medium size in the mix.

Anyway I thought I'd post some pics I took 2 days before leaving to come home while in New York, had just come down from the Empire State Building around 9am.

Within a flash, my eyes darted and legs spooled up, my wife must have thought I was being chased by some gang-bangers as I ran across the road with camera in hand like a crazy tourist.

I'd almost given up hope, had been to LA, Miami, Las Vegas and Aruba with not a sniff of a Viper, this was no ordinary sight, not 1, not 2 but 3 Dodge Vipers just pulling up to a set of reds behind a bus, so I had to get a shot and damn they looked the sh*t.

They all sat while the lights changed as I took photos of each... check em out.

Did they think it was weird that you were taking photo's of them?

Did you then say "It's OK, I'm from Australia..."

:idunno:

Seriously though, that would've been awesome, nothing else on the road looks like a Viper... the trip must have been wicked too...

Anymore photo's? Does every other SUV over there have 22's on it or is it just me and my warped Pimp my Ride fantasy...

The funny thing is, I didn't even think about what they were thinking, my only thought was to get those Vipers snapped, the yanks love attention and just sat while I snapped 4 pics, no dramas. Then afterwards I realised how much of a nutter I must have looked like.

Yep 22's seem to be the go, looks a bit strange on some machines but depends how big the car is.

Check out this Humma (Hummer?)

and the best Beamer I have ever seen in the flesh, a Killa 6 Series I clicked while in Miami.

No number plates on the front of the Vipers or the BMW??

Yep... they don't have to in the states... if you have a look behind the Vipers, the Mustang doesn't have a front plate either...

If you have a look at converted corvettes here you will see that they have to bend the no. plate to fit on the front, and it covers a little piece on the front that says 'Corvette'...

The requirement for a front plate depends on the state. Not all states require them, some do. Some even dropped the front plate (Michigan for example).

The other thing they cannot seem to agree on is where the rego sticker gets placed. Some are placed on the plate, some are like out current stickers on the windshield.
