When I first met my girlfriends dad he said " you must be a drug dealer driving a fancy car like that" My response was "you must work in a toll booth living in a house this small" all I heard were... crickets.... at that family dinner and saw about 5 faces of horror.

A gorgeous 20+ y.o. classy girl told me after a ride “I have to upgrade my boyfriend to one with a Viper”.

Not to spoil the fun, but toll booth workers (around here at least) make quite the healthy living. It's a cushy job that you have to know someone to get!

Here's mine (and I drive my car everyday):
I ask the girl at the drive-thru for a drink carrier for the two drinks I ordered. She says, <sarcasticly> "you mean a car that costs THAT MUCH doesn't have cup holders??" I replied, "and to think, I could have bought a Kia and not had to beg you for this two cent piece of cardboard!".
Why does it sound like that?
We heard something out front, but we thought it was garbage day.
How about the morons that are coming at you in the opposite lane when you're not paying attention? Then they scare the crap out of you by yelling something uncomprehendible, at the top of their lungs, while passing by! I always think I just ran over somebody's kid or something! Heart skips a beat, I *** in the seat...whatever.

"the tires look big."
My response was "that's because in spite of what you hear, size matters."

Strangest: Were you in a movie?
Most common: Nice car! My 6 year old son always ask me "why does everyone say that"?

The funniest reaction I ever had was from a teenager who said:
"Hey, you must get all the girls in this car right?" My responce as I laughed and shook my head: "This is what I use to get away from all those nut-cases."

Re: What is the strangest or BEST reaction you\'ve had to driving your viper
I was washing my RT/10 out at my apartment building and three boys around 9 or 10 stop by and start to admire the car. One of the boys is really saying how nice it is. I say, Well I am sure your dad has a nice car, which his response was " No,He's not rich he's just a Lawyer".
Also cruising down the local drag on a Saturday night and a car loaded with 17 to 18 year old boys pull up along side. One sticks his head out the window and ask "How that penis extension working for you" I immediately answer with "Go home and ask your mom".
I get all the others like everyone else. Had a ****** girl say once "I thought it would be more luxurious inside".

1.How do you get in? I don't see any door handles! Response- I Dukes of Hazard my entry.
2.Why do you have NOS on a V-10? In case I want to embarass my prey not just beat them.
3.Does that run on normal gas? Nope..jet fuel!
Of course the normal ooh's and aww's...that is why I love this car! Very few around here so, when I get it out it is all eyes on me!

People ask me that all the time. My answer is, "No, those are the cooling vents for the warp drive. If you look real close, you can even see the glow of the di-lithium crystals." You wouldn't believe how many of these dorks actually look into the mesh.

Can't agree more - my heart skips a beat every time that happens!
Worst - was when a small kid walking with his dad and staring at my Viper (while still walking) and walked into a sign post. Dad laughed at the kid (who was crying) and said to watch where he was walking - wanted to deck that A**hole.

I was stopped at a traffic light and a Mercedes 500sl pulled up next to me with the top down. A guy was driving and he had a good looking honey in the passenger seat. Both of them were looking at the Viper. I looked over at him and he said "I like your car, wanna trade?" I said "I will if she comes with it." She's nodding her head "yes" and they turned right and drove off.

Generally,I love seeing people who are trying not to look but can't help turning their head anyway.
I totally hate the most asked question"How much did you pay for it"!
Summing it up-Viper rocks!

How about when Vette driver's ignore you?
I'm driving down Main St. in Daytona this weekend. (Biketoberfest). Everyone is blow away by the Viper. Pointing, smiling, taking pictures and videos of the rarely seen (except in magazines) Dodge Viper.
I past TWO Corvette and neither one of them would even look at the car. One guy reved his exhulst as we passed. I laughed, bring it on. I had a Z06 for breakfast that morning.
Sour grapes, Hey, they could have bought a Viper. Sometime you have to just live with the choices you make
2000 GTS Steel Grey
Six piston Bier claws up front, front brakes in back
Quaife Differential, GKH half shafts, alloy fly wheel,
short throw shifter, polished intakes, K&N air filters, Optima battery,

Re: What is the strangest or BEST reaction you\'ve had to driving your viper?
That's a pretty bad one, I just say they cost $85k new.
A worse question IMNSHO is "What's your payments?" Uhhh, it could be paid for (thus no payments), it could be that I put a lot down and financed it forever (thus low payments), or it could be that I put nothing down and financed it for a year (thus exorbitant payments)?! Pretty d&mned dumb question, sure there may be a correlation between its cost (if that's what they're getting at) and payment amount, but not necessarily, especially for a lot of owners here.

I think a lot of the questions are just an excuse to talk to the guy who has a Viper.
My car has most of the emblems removed. People often ask, "what's that?"

Seeing a kid with his/her parents looking at the viper in the parking lot. I ask the kid, " here sit in it". Kid enters, sits, and I close the door. As I turn to walk away, I say, "hope the owner doesn't catch ya". Great responses John, the joker

I loved reading all your comments, awesome. I agree with Joe, it is a conversation starter and people just want to talk to you, to know the extraordinary person behind the machine.

Re: What is the strangest or BEST reaction you\'ve had to driving your viper?
I have had four kids fall over looking at the viper (so far), two on bikes, one on a skateboard, and one staring at the Viper while walking backwards.
And I've had a fair share of people nearly getting into accidents in their cars tryin to get a better look at the car as well.
I was just reminded of something that regularly happens where there's a group of kids waving at the Viper as I drive past. One of them usually makes a spinning motion with their finger (as in I should spin the tires), but I don't like to burn up the tires, so I usually just wave and drive on.
