So, "boy"... I think you need to go back to the Vette boards where you'll fit in better with the secretaries and grannies... no offense to Vette owners who aren't secretaries or grannies.
A "Driver's car" means that control is COMPLETELY in the hands of the driver... or as much as legally possibly. It does NOT mean it drives itself like a Lexus with the help of computers. Therefore, every little mistake CAN produce a catastrophic result. If you can't stomach that, go play somewhere else. With practice, every positive result is your own accomplishment, but the flip side is every error is also your own fault.
In this particular case, a deer running in front of you can cause the best car and most skilled driver to crash... especially on a cold day and cold tires. Do you think the most nannied car can defy physics and magically avoid the deer in slippery conditions? These cars are buckin' broncos, not tame little ponies. You drive it expecting a level of danger, and to master it can make you legendary... thats why driving it near its limit is such a thrill.
It's the difference between jumping out of an airplane and jumping off a curb. Perhaps you don't quite know that difference.
is this Totaled Viper #2456 or #2457 i lost track
So everyone here always says that Vipers are a real drivers car, and if it goes wrong its the drivers fault....So why did he hit the pole, was it the un-contolable viper or is he just a bad driver?
Im kindof thinking it was the cars fault, i mean i gotta be honest these "totaled Viper - almost died" threads kindof get old
Looks like you saved your own life... good for you!
Definitely go get checked out... glad you're alive. I don't feel so bad watching Ab kill deer now

hahaha... ME TOO! Or at least kept the Viper home last night. Was JUST about to go out when I read the post... made me think twice and I put the snake back into the garage. Coulda saved my life... who knows? No sense jinxing it.tom's post kept me home last night
What's "un-cool" is in light of a GOOD driver with a SAFE car gets in an ACCIDENT from a deer running in front of it, you go and question the man's ability and/or his car's safety. Nice to see you wish him well after insulting him.Well, im not surpised i got a flamming "**** you" response that had nothing to do with my statement. None of you want to put a life saving feature in the Viper, because it is "un-cool", i think safety is more important. Reguardless of what im saying, i think ADULTS should argue in a civilized manner, oviously that cant happen on this forum. A post suggesting that the Viper should be more safe should not be met with flamming nasty words. Needless to say i dont think ill be coming back to these forums, i hope attitides like that dont represent the rest of the Viper community
Glad you are ok WANTED
Hate to sound cold, but I'm still waiting for the pics. Drive is okay, good.
