What little hard data I can find suggests that manuals are extremely unlikely to get stolen even when corrected for the differences in overall numbers. I also found numerous stories of carjackers getting busted after finding that a car is a manual.

In the case of the Viper, if you didn't care about the car's condition when you found it, there's a drat good chance that even if someone did try to steal it you'd find it pretty close to where it was left

If I stole a viper of all things I'd be drat sure to get my money's worth out of it and go do a little cruise on the highway, roast off the tires, etc.

Then again I imagine the list of things I'd do to a viper if I owned one overlaps pretty much exactly with what I'd do with a stolen one. They really should do yearly checks of those cars and if you haven't done at least 10 burnouts and gotten the speedometer past 120 they take it back.

I wasn't going to comment on this after the first picture, but your response points out something terrible. Yes, the south, and any Republican state in general, skimps on health care and child care. Once you take your new infant home, all bets are off. Did your baby catch a cough? gently caress off. Oh, your dear little one has a genetic condition? gently caress off. Oh, you both lost your jobs and can't feed your baby? gently caress off.

Um half of those states are democrat controlled while besides California and new York the other blue states are republican controlled. Maybe, just maybe, it's related to poverty and poor education that have been endemic to the south since the end of the civil war. Thanks for trying to divert a car thread into politics chat dick face.

Sorry. It's just that almost every family I grew up with lost a baby at some point in time. The south has serious issues with infant mortality, even among the well-to-do.

Yeah I dunno. Lose the window stickers and I don't think it's that bad.

Of course, this thread has kind of upped my tolerance to bad things, so I could be wrong.

Anytime I see those pointless divots in molded plastic in a car interior (like on the airbag) or fake(?) exposed screws it just screams cheap Chrysler interior. Who thought those looked good? Seems like they ended up somewhere in every Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth from the past 10-15 years.

It's a huge improvement over the original Viper interior at least:

This is just an opinion, but the original interior isn't acceptable, not even for 1992. The '03 is decent.

You guys shut your dirty whore mouths, I would drive the poo poo out of any Viper, even a '92. I don't think I'll notice the partsbinned air vents and fan knobs when they're obscured from view by billowing clouds of tire smoke. The only death more glorious than oversteering a Viper into a tree is oversteering a 911 into a tree.

The only reason the Viper existed in the first place was they could put it together with parts they had already and didn't have to spend money they didn't have tooling up for a limited run production car.

OMG are those VENTS FROM A MUSTANG?

Million dollars with this interior???

Close; the S was derived from the K.
Voyager and Viper both start with V, so It's OK.

However,
For God's sake, man, it's a Viper. Is the pedigree of the dash vents that important?

Of course not, you'll be dead from tree-induced blunt force trauma before you ever even touch the vents.

Well my point is, awesome cars don't always have bespoke high-grade interiors.

Look at ANY TVR. Any Lambo before VAG took over, etc....
