They leaveit out in the snow. Terrible way to treat a car like this.

Well... at least he drove it, unlike most of us here...

That is funny. That makes me think of the last post like that. I think it was last winter when someone said they went to their local dealer and the Viper was literarly covered under a snow mound.

I guess Vipers can be advertised in any degree of cleanliness...the Viper name speaks for itself!

Looks like the Boss' daily driver

You notice that groove in the rotor?

 

[blue01gts]

wow how hard is it to wash it first

 

[PacificSEASnake]

I've seen worst

Didn't know the SRT's came in Charcoal...is that aftermarket?

To the dealer they're just slabs of meat.

Driving over the mountains from LA last year, in a snow-storm on the mountains...had a Ford GT getting piled on, sitting outside at a dealer

Every brake disc tells a story.

I still laugh about the eBay ad that showed the convertible top half opened because the guy didn't know you had to open the trunk to stow the it.

Just drove by this place and decided to stop in to take a look at it.

I must say this is one beat up viper. First thing I noticed is there are tons of scratches in the paint. Next thing is the wheels (all 4) have curb rash. So then the salesman comes up to me and asked it I was interested and wanted to sit in it. Why not lets see what else is wrong with this car. So drivers side door handle does not work so after opening it up from inside I see the shifter nob is trashed. Not sure how that was done but it was a mess. Then I see the pedals are covered in mud and crap. So after I see this mess I decide to get out and look at the heart of the beast but we can't because they can't get the hood to opened

So after all of this he still has the stones to ask me if I was interested. I don't think so!!!

And almost forgot. The rotors on all four brakes were extremely grooved. What a hard life this viper has lived.

Now that´s great!

Please click on the ebay-link once again.....it seems Mr.Obama just passed by or at least gave them a call....."it´s time for a change".....

At least they moved it inside before the ice/snow storm passes through. One wheel shot, probably the best rotor of the four.

I've been in the market for a Viper lately as a 40th birthday present to myself, and really have come to the realization that for peace of mind I'll need to contract with one of the forum sponsors to find me one. As much as a tightwad I am, I can't imagine how upset I would be getting my dream car and finding major issues with it.

Ah come on it was a garage queen driven by a grandma....
