The wreck happened during early rush hour on one of my town's busier roads. I am well known here because I am the only Viper owner for miles and miles who actually drives his car around town and it stood out quite a bit with the stripes. With the state of the cars and ambulances at the scene there were all kinds of rumours. Half the people at my work thought I was in the hospital when I showed up for work Wednesday. My wife received many phone calls before I even got home. I got out of the car saying "I love this car!" loudly, many times. Some people thought I was in shock or depressed about it, but I was so glad to be unhurt it was the only way I could think of to show my appreciation.
By the way, the stripes were Sherwin Williams multi-tone gold/silver. Very similar to Dupont chromallusion. Really cool looking.
The funniest part about it was listening to all the dismayed growns of passing motorists when they saw my trashed Viper. I could hear them all quite well because of the crawl pace of traffic around my car. It was cool to see how many people knew and loved my car.
