Viper=Gawkers dream

[gen2lover]

I had my car out a few times the last 2 weeks..still chilly here in the northeast. A balmy 62 and sunny on Tuesday!

I must have noticed 5 kids (March Break) drool over it as I was driving.A guy and his 2 friends were beside me.He yelled out he just had an "o"

... you know... starts with a C. LOL.

Good article. The security guard at work watches any of my cars like a hawk. He always lets me know if anyone was hanging around the cars. With the Viper, almost every 1-2 hours he tells me someone stops to gawk and take photos.

Actually, I bought the Viper on the rebound after I cancelled my GT-R order (a long story of Nissan North America ineptitude). I've always thought the Viper was a pretty cool car, but never had a real love affair with it. My ambivalence changed after I got about 300 miles of cockpit time -- the love affair began. I still enjoy driving the Z cars (particularly the '03), but the Viper is such a different raw brute -- nothing I've ever driven really compares (even '60s muscle cars). Strapping a Viper on your butt is a pretty awesome experience, and you just can't get enough of it.

Nice wording! Love that!

Think I am going to use that whenever I need to describe the car in the future!

Nice job Tere!

Thanks! Yep, you don't get into a Viper, you put it on -- very intimate apparel. It's really a very hard thing to describe, but it becomes part of you and is no longer some external object. It is very close to flying a fighter type jet before the days of all the fly-by-wire foolery.

Great article! Thanks for posting it!

The trucks garner similar attention.
It was something that I've had to get used to: random people coming over and asking me about the truck.
Still happens to this day.
"That thing have a HEMI?"
"No, but I use a HEMI to start it."

Sometimes gawkers are GOOD:

The officer was a Dodge guy and came upon a Viper mecca (VCA-OH cruise) in his town.
Thumbs up indeed!

Where i live in Lower PA, since there are no exotics at all, ever, anywhere, a Viper would get maximum attention especially from the amish going around in their buggies

2000HP vs. 1HP

Oh, and for the record: NO ONE drives the truck.
My mom asked to take it for a drive and I told her no.

Big - I am touched! That is SOOO kind of you! I feel so looooooved!

Yes, that helps. I feel alot better now! And the Duct (aka Racer) Tape, that is just great! The Handymans Secret Weapon no less.....

Chad - You are kidding! I would have almost bet money that it would have already been done down there!

Tere - Another line to use (Chad may get use out of it too)!! "Intimate Apparel"
