I was just sitting here drinking a bottle of Mountain Dew, and thought, "What would I do if I won the new Viper". In case some of you might not know yet, M.D. has a contest now called Rev It with Dew. Prizes include a new Viper, of Ram truck.

I believe I'd take the Viper out for a weekend up in L.A. and then Monday morning to the local Lincoln dealership and trade it in on a new LS and about fifteen grand. I could do a lot to Bruin with fifteen g's. What would you do. Maybe or:-staun .

 

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 14-Jul-02 AT 02:14 AM (EST)]i love my truck and think it is the greatest built truck ever. actually i do not like the new model ford at all, all my friends have them and i drive them all the time. they compare nothing to my truck. my truck can take a beating and still run fine. i love the feeling of a 351 under my hood, but when i drive my friends trucks (99 f150 4x4's) they all come with small block v8's. im not saying it is a bad engine, im just saying i dont feel powerful. i feel like im driving a toy. when i am driving my truck i feel like a tank that could take anything out. when i drive the newer models i feel like somebody might just run over me. it doesnt feel as sturdy as the older models. i think the meaning of truck has been lost. to me it seems like luxury and the ride comes before power and overall toughness these days. okay now that i got that out, hell yes i would take a dodge viper and i would not sell it. im not one of those hardcore ford fans that would rather have a model t than 400 brand new chevy z71s. i rarely ever see dodge vipers and i think it would be fun to own one, and a very good asset at that. what bank wouldnt love to reposses a high dollar vehicle like that!

 

I would drive the wee out of it for about a week and then trade it for either a new Super Duty or a couple of Rangers

 

Yeah, I'm always thinking "what could I do if I had....".
A Viper would be cool if I were young and single.
If I were to win something like a Viper in a contest I think I would sell it after a week of test driving it first. Take the money and have my '75' camper special professionaly restored. Buy a vintage Air Stream travel trailer to tow behind it and take off on a cross country road trip. Now that would be cool! I'm I getting old? :P

 

Driving a viper might soon become a reality to me. My 25 year old boss is in the market for buying one and he'll let me drive it .


Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Sunroof, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds .

Check out my Gallery for a look-see.


Then theres:
99' Mustang GT 4.6L
88' F-250 Superduty 4x4 351/c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 with a
3 spd column shifter. Top speed is 65mph, Go Baby Go!

 

I'd love to have my own Viper. They are fun cars to drive. I drove one a couple years ago. I'd probably keep it for a while then sell it and use the money to finish the 3 project trucks I have now.

 

I really don't care for cars that much. Sure I'll drive it around a bit, right to the local Cadillac dealer and trade it off on a new De Ville Sedan. I've always said if I got a car it'd be a caddy. I never cared for any of them sports cars for that matter.

My mom sure would like to drive a new caddy. So it would be more for her.

 

i'd sell it and find a 429 boss to restore...

 

Sell it and get a Corvette.

 

>Sell it and get a Corvette.
A what, surely you mean a mint '55 Thunderbird. Just kidding. The '67 427 'vette was pretty sweet. I'd still stick with the Linc. LS though. For those long road trips of course.

 

Almost everyone who posted said they'd sell or trade the Viper.
No wonder there are trying to give them away, LOL!

My first phone call would be to my insurance company.

Horsepuller though is dead on. Sell it and get a Vett - C6. OR a Cobra Mustang.

Either way my insurance agent would be

Ahh, but to dream. My own Viper. Drive it until it needed a set of tires (less than a 1000 miles) and get the Vett.

 

Vipers are fun! A family friend of ours has 2 of them...must be nice!


Gig'em

 

Most people who have Vipers have 2 or more.
