A sad sight to behold



This is one of our test vehicles at work...hasn't moved in probably 2 weeks. What a damn shame, looking so lonely and neglected.

Cynic, I'd love the keys for myself. I'm gonna have to find a way to steal them sometime next week...

Yes, that is indeed a viper.

Thats not that bad. I passed a mint 94 viper on the road the other day right after a snow storm.

It's a car..

I hate the guys around here in the 'vette club that're like "Omg..I never drive my 'vette in the rain or snow.." same with the Porsche guys. It's a shame that the car isn't being driven at all though..that's what it's meant for..I remember a local that has a Lotus Esprit complaining that he had to have all this shit worked on after it sat in his garage forever and about had a fit when I pointed out that had he been driving it that stuff wouldn't have happened..

at the same time to have a rwd car w/ that much torque that it that low to the ground isnt really safe to drive on any road around where i live in the winter, unless it hasnt snowed for like a week there is always snow on the ground

You'd be surprised..some of the best cars I've drove in winters have been RWD with a ton-o-torque. My black 944 only has about 3.5 inches of ground clearance and goes through the snow just fine..my dad has had several 'vettes and drove them all in the snow.. Our roads aren't the worst, but they're certainly not the best...

Do you work for Dodge? I'd love to "test" that and get paid for it.

My dad has had one experience drivng his 99 Viper GTS in the snow lets just say 450hp car+RWD+summer tires+snow=death wish. Also personally i ve driven this car in the rain a couple times and it sucks. Its damn near impossible to control thats why ive got made props for the vettes they will outhandle and out grip a Viper any day but in a straight line the Viper wins
