Most of those pictures need captions. I've never been to texas so I have no idea wtf is going on. That Viper is sweet though, even if it is an RT-10.

It's in uptown area... right next to the 3rd largest mall in US, and where two major freeways cross.
Like 5 minutes away from my house.

W0rd.
Oh, there's a bunch of constructions here too...
They're making the freeways wider, and all that other junk.
I wonder how much it's gonna help with traffic..... can't wait till they finish.
