That was a fun "watch". Yes, some very funny sayings. Never new there was a spare in the trunk in early vipers!

 

[GermanViper]

I thought the one in my 1995 was missing when I saw the video. Was there really a spare wheel just on early Vipers or also in later MYs?

I did a quick check of the data I have and I show that 1992-2002 & 2005 had a compact space listed

I know my mom's 94 still has one in the trunk. Hilariously tiny, but better than nothing.

I thought the 2005 still had run flats. They came with a can of sealant and a air pump you plug into cigarette lighter. Don't recall their being a space saver spare in Gen 3.

Good catch

I went back an looked, I just did a general search for the words "Compact Spare Tire" the first time. Went back and ran the query again looking for a count for 2005, only two came back with that in the details, not sure if it's a misprint or there was something different about those two Vipers. Also found a couple with "20" Steel Spare Wheel" listed.

Wow brings back some memories when I saw my first Viper at the state fair Texas back in 89.

The spare wheel was actually part of the crash structure if I remember correctly.
