That's funny and true. A friend of mine has a Viper and it scares the hell out of me.

Funny but so true. My son in law over the last few years have owned a Boss 302 and. C7 Vette stingray and I've driven both of them several times and yes I'm afraid of them. Both cars would spin the wheels in 3rd gear on dry road. I can imagine what a viper would do to a novice driver like me.

The Boxster and their characteristics are just right for me.

I don't get cars that have that kind of excess horsepower. What's the point? See how many tires you can shred? A car needs to be balanced.

Yeah, I saw that ad in a Jalopnik.com post. Funny, and true.

Some people like the idea of driving on public roads in a full-on race car, which is what a Viper is. Not me, but I get it.

Three years ago, I checked out a 1st-gen Viper listed on CL for $22K. If it had been running on all 10 cylinders I might have bought it as a track day car.
