Driving a Viper reverses the aging process!
Right on!

Some of you make it sound like we purchased a one off Lamborghini or Ferrari...It`s a Viper,not a million dollar exotic for christ sakes.
Yes, but did you know how much that Viper purchase money would be worth when a 20-something-year-old is ready to retire?
I'll use a relatively low used Viper purchase figure of $30,000. That $30,000, if it grew at a 5% interest rate, compounded annually, would be worth $211,199.66 in 40 years. Looks like you could have bought that Lamborghini or Ferrari after all.

I'm 61. The beauty of the viper is that compared to other exotics with relatively equal performance it is a BARGAIN! It is well within affordablilty of anyone who works and puts their mind to getting one. You don't have to buy a new one, low mileage used ones can be bought for the price of an average new car.
The great thing about the USA is opportunities to make money are out there through hard work or smart investments. Unfortunately, the way things are going with the present administration, this may not last much longer.
Hopefully the Viper will not cease to exist--like my three nearest Chrysler dealerships here on the left coast--put out of business in the name of "job-creation".
If you want a Viper, I would get one sooner than later. I feel the Viper will be the "65 Cobra of the future. The Viper is the bullet-proof bargain in the world of exotic sports cars. I am betting that they are sure to apreciate in the decades to come, especially if Fiat kills them off to prevent them from competing with their Ferrari.
Vipers are definitely under appreciated by auto journalists, with 'nary a mention in the articles I have been recently reading. New Audi and Lexus sportscars and other exotics cost exponentialy more offering similar performance to Viper--but they do have back seats to carry all the nannys.

Naw...didn't want anything that slow. Never seen a street Ferrari or Lambo I couldn't pass at willow.
BTW....53
Why do you want to know this? Are you making up a list of additional, suggested future accessories to post for Herb? For example: In car Depends dispenser, in dash prescription renewal reminder, heated lumbar back support for lower back pain, vehicle exit assist device for those times when it is just too hard to get out of the vehicle, a button that can be pushed to ask "where am I and how do I get home?" and/or "who am I?", a clapper to start and stop the engine.

Bill, I can only hope that I am still buying Vipers in my 80s, and it will be great buying them from my 80+ year old Viper salesman
