I’m just saying that anyone who can afford a new maxima, altima, 335, etc etc could afford a used viper if they wanted to. I sure see a lot of those cars.
My point is that viper ownership does not make you elite.
The same CAN be said about other cars on the list too. You just get so butthurt when anyone makes a derogatory comment about the almighty viper. If vipers were that elite, would there really be 4 or 5 of them on that kid’s list?
ha.
let’s all remember that you got so defensive when i said vipers weren’t that expensive. That’s it. I didn’t say they weren’t cool. Just that they weren’t super expensive anymore. I’m sorry if you can buy a viper for a low dollar these days. It doesn’t make YOU any less cool. People still think you are REALLY REALLY cool. Don’t worry. Just make sure you tell them that you have one of the EXPENSIVE ones. Not one of the cheap ones.
“Hi, I’m Dan Lesser. Nice to meet you. I have a viper, you know. Oh, haha, no don’t worry, the retail on it is still in the upper 60K range. Yeah, thanks. Hey… do you wanna know what this watch cost?”

Hmm… sour grapes anyone?
Look at it however you want, I inform misinformed people about a market that I know plenty about -only when its brought up. You on the other hand spread misinformation. My response was hardly defensive. Your response on the other hand, was clearly inflammatory, like usual.
Nice.
Do you feel better after you type? I hope so.
PS- find me an example of where I tell someone how much anything I own costs without specifically being asked first, unless it was for sale. I’ll be waiting.

I caught sight of an old Morgan and an Aston Martin Vanquish. Thats about it for me though, besides the random Vipers floating around. All sub 300 thousand I’m afraid.

I know it isn’t exactly WNY here, but at the Starbucks the other day there was a Bentley Coupe, Bentley Convertible, DB9, and a SLK 63AMG that is driven by this super hot chick ~25 y/o. I asked her to marry me, she declined my offer.

Guys, all used car values are uber low.
2005 Lotus Super Charged 15K miles
$25K Buy it now!
1999 Viper Dual Exhaust oh my!
$29K Buy it now!
1998 Ferrari 550
$90K Buy it now!
(MMM Me like!)
2003 Aston Martin Vanquish
$82K Buy it now!
(MMM ME also like!)
2005 Corvette Z-51
$25K Buy it now!
I know these aren’t “super cars” but come on. I agree with Newman. How many people out there drop $50K on some stupid truck or SUV? Ok you spend $35-40 on a family sedan. Many Many people who are smart with their money **could** afford to buy and drive these cars **if** they wished to.
I only wish to have 3 cars. The daily //M, the raw C5, and the refined not yet purchased “super car”.
People ask me all the time how I can afford to own my corvette. Then I tell them that if they didn’t buy their brand new Tahoe they could have purchased 3 of them they look at me all confused. LoL
I don’t necessarily see how an expensive car = coolness. I’d rather the car be worth the money.
A guy down here daily drives a 1968 427 corvette. That is the most expensive daily I have ever seen.

Wow, your correctness transcends time and could possibly be squared to predict the future. 😛

Data check
The silver Saleen S7 does not live on Underhill. It is in E.A. and is back after a bit of a vacation to get new turbo’s (awhile ago actually).
Matt took this shot on our roadtrip with the Saleen to Watkins Glen for the Vintage show.
At the show he rode the course in the S7.
The “dealership” in Eden and the collection on the Lakeshore are owned by the same person. I haven’t talked to him in awhile, but the last time I saw him he was in a Spyker. The only red Spyker in the world.
This purple Diablo VT Roadster?
This is also a fun car to drive.
There are TONS of exotics/supercars in the WNY area, you just need to know where to look.
We did a Fall drive with a few last year.
We did a shoot north of the border with these cars.
This one was a fun shoot. You can see the big version on the side of MVL leasing, on the right hand side of the QEW just before the Ford plant.
There are at least a few garages in Spaulding Lake with Exotics. Gotta trust me on that one.
I just scratched the surface here. Matt signed up for an account and as soon as it is approved I am sure he’ll chime in too.
