I took this pic at work one day, thought it was a weird paradox seeing the two cars parked side by side. ;)

I was struck at how big the Smart Car looks next to the Viper, although a side profile would tell a different story. Its amazing how low slung the Viper is, even next to a tin can of a car!

I'm thinking of putting some type of environmental sticker on the the back of the Viper? lol..

Just to be fair, the owner is a very nice person, and she does spend less on gas than me :2tu:

Vipers were the original Hybrids...They burn both gas and RUBBER!

Tell people its an all electric vehicle....and that the sound comes out of the "hood speakers" and is cleverly designed to sound like its coming out of the back of the car......by deep-space scientists retired from NASA .....

My Viper uses hardly any gas. I haven't filled up the tank in months. In fact over the past year I think I might have put 2 tanks in it. It doesn't get great gas mileage though.

There is a member of the Nevada region VCA that has a supercharged gen 3 viper and a smart car. I still think smart cars are Fuking stupid!

I swear that'd make a helluva impression if you actually drove that thing into any town and squeezed into a parking spot by doing a front wheelstand!! I wonder what tickets I'd get for doing that?

Regards,
Aaron

Explaining Viper things to you
If I see one of them on the highway I drop it down to 3rd and let my 3" Belanger side exhaust move them over half a lane.

Sorry little fuel efficient beer can car owners, I'm an ass.

I actually have my Viper and also a Honda hybrid (sorry to admit)...because I drive 100 miles every day for work, and the gas would eat me alive otherwise.:drive:

Now, I am shopping for really dark tint for the hybrid's windows. :lame:

Have to protect my image, you know.:crazy2:

Just FACE it ... the Viper is lower than almost EVERYTHING on the road. I notice it every time I get out on the highway. It's actually important to keep that in mind around here. Pickup and dualy drivers can't even SEE you in the rear view and if they aren't paying attention, they can't see the Viper in the side mirrors either.

If you're going around a really tall vehicle (jacked up 4x4), get past QUICKLY as that don't even know you're there. Besides, it's FUN to blow by and watch the reaction in your rear view mirror. I've watched many of them lose their lane from being startled.

My caliber gets better than 30 mpg and I can still show my face at car events:2tu: and still enjoy spirited driving or even a burnout:lmao:
