Here's where we park the daily drivers. The vette is long gone. Hasn't be replaced yet. Maybe a viper in my future.

Great looking garage! I gotta ask, is that checkerboard pattern between the red stripe on the wall a wallpaper, an emblem, or hand painted?
 
The checkered pattern in the red stripe is 2' wide tape. I bought it from some circle track racing suppplier. Been a while, sorry, can't remember who.
 
The tape is a great touch!
 
Very nice look! Exactly what I intend to do with my garage.

I have to disagree with your choice of vehicles though. lol! Being an owner of two Vettes I can't imagine you wanting a Viper. I see you had a C4, drive a C6 before you choose the Viper. I think you'll find a huge difference between the two.
 
Thanks for the kind words guys.

I guess the reason I'm not seriously considering a vette is the belly button factor. I got the C4 vette(#100 1991) and then I see lots of vettes. I love them but dang they're everywhere.

Next cars I have considered are Viper, Jag XKR, or an Aston Martin. Comments or suggestions are welcome.
 
The Viper is a great car but the Vette will arguably out perform it with far more comfort. One of my Vette buds bought a Viper and his comment is you have to drive the Viper but you can comfortably drive the Vette at the same level.

I respect both the Jag and the AM but being almost 60 I can't get over the reputation British cars had in the 60's and 70's. I'm sure they're both great rides.

All I say is don't write off the Vette until you drive a GS or Z06. Totally different cars than your C4 and cheaper than any of the others.
 
Thanks for the suggestion Eddie. I'll look into it. Gotta get a couple of more rental units filled first. :)
 
I think thats the best running viper out there.
