You really don’t need to use the @ paging for him. He magically appears in any thread where the word Viper is used. And this whole thing is just another sad example of how desperately this country needs tort reform. ---

Fucking disgusting to watch. At minimum, those should’ve been made in-operable by parting out. A complete fucking waste on multiple levels. I fucking hate personal injury lawyers. And if there’s any on here…too bad. None of them do anything for any other motivation than money. And those who used them for uses other then intended should’ve been made responsible. As usual, no one takes responsibility for their actions and the public pays the price. This should def be moved to the bullshit thread. ---

I read this on Jalopnik this morning and couldn’t help but wonder if Chrysler/Fiat “selling” them and officially transferring ownership either as a vehicle or some other type of asset would alleviate their legal liabilities. ---

Any car used for educational purposes have to get crushed when they’re done being used for educational purposes. Think about it, would you really want to buy a car that kids who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing are taking apart and causing CELS on on purpose, I wouldn’t want even just the motor out of one of them. ---

Yeah, maybe so but I’m sure there’s a lot of it that could be utilized. How can you fuck up a door, wheel and tire, seat, etc. etc. I just see it as horribly wasteful in an already wasteful society.
