Viper Felix on Why the C8 Corvette is "Gay" and Velocity Rally’s Charity Focus

Welcome back to Shift Talkers! In Episode 21, the crew is joined by the legendary Mr. Puerto Rico himself, Felix Hernandez—also known in the car community as Viper Felix!It's been a minute since the last episode, but Felix definitely brings the energy. They jump into a few touchy subjects, including the long-running (and now settled!) debate about his infamous thumbnail where he and his Viper friends were mad that the episode did not mention Vipers at all.45In this episode, Felix gets into:The Dodge Viper: How he got his Viper, why he loves the platform, his car history (he was a big BMW and Corvette guy!), and why he wouldn't sell his dream car.6Velocity Rally: The philosophy behind his rally group, which focuses on raising money for charity, like Neores Hospital, and why their money-flow system is different from other rallies.7The Corvette C8: Felix and the crew don't hold back, giving the C8 Corvette their "super gay" rating, while making an exception for the Z06.8Car Meetups and Drives: The guys talk about the camaraderie of the "Poppy Crew" and the Street Drip guys, the importance of after-rally plans, and the upcoming Cars and Coffee at PopStroke.9You don't want to miss this one!
