Default It's one little thing can turn a crappy shift into a GREAT shift!

Like getting handed the keys to a Viper GTS/ACR pace car and being asked to bring it around..

Where do you work? What do you do? And is "bring it around" all you did?

Sounds like fun

LOL JoeyMac!!! "right -click, save as.." hehe

I work at www.westingrandvancouver.com as a doorman/security associate. I recognised the guy from last year's molson indy and asked him if he needs to get into the secured parking to bring up the viper. he said: "No, YOU do!" as he dangled the viper-logo keys in my face!

It was a ****ty shift to begin with.. my car had to be towed on a flat bed for 58km because the clutch dropped to the floor and wouldn't come up, so I was all depressed about that, and not to mention tired as hell from lack of sleep.. but then, this..

BTW that Viper GTS/ACR pace car really does make my 951 feel like a ****box. (Except that the pace car had a really really low steering lock setting which I HATE.. but anywas.. I'm not complaining.. I LOVE Vipers.. I'm going to buy one someday.. I've decided...

BTW2 - I did take me sweet time bringing it around.. and I had the pace strobes flashing when it came up..

to the Chrysler / Dodge guys - you all rock!!!!

That's cool that they included the pace strobes in the pace car edition. Really adds to the wow factor.
