It was posted on Autoblog Friday, BUT... while on the G8 boards looking at the link that was posted in 2005-2009 Mustangs about the 18 year old who totaled his, there was a link to an SRT forum where an employee of the dealer the Viper was from posted great shots and inside info. All I can say is two things; No way in heck, did this guy only drive the speed limit (35) when he crashed it (its ****ed up ROYALLY), and 2nd, he is a 100% total dumb ***! I feel so bad for that car. I got a few good laughs from the srt boys ripping the porter to pieces on the boards. The Nick Hogan School of Driving quote was great! The Check out the post at the link below.

Dealership employee reports on co-worker who totals 2008 Viper!!

 

Im pretty sure theres gonna be some burger flipping in that kids future.

Edit: just read the kid didnt even get fired! WHAT!!!

 

I don't even like Vipers and this is driving me nuts

 

2008 has 600hp right?

 

That sucks for the guy who was going to buy it!

 

Could be good leverage for a better price so you have to wait for the next one to get there.

 

major, major ouch

major, major *******

 

Yes sir.

 

I agree. Its just horrible to see what can happen when someone gets behind the wheel of a high horsepower car withough respect for the power.

 

Yeah, especially since its a very expensive car that someone else put down

This is why I only let the most trusted of people drive my car, and even then only in controlled environments and emergencies

 

Insurance or not, I see no problem with the dealer firing that employee - helps prevent any more claims (would this affect any premium the dealer pays?) in the future, although it should be safe to say that idiot will not be allowed behind the wheel of a Viper again. Maybe?

 

Those new vipers are so hot looking....I just wish the interior would have changed (at all) in the past 12 years in them

 

That's why if I ever purchase a car straight up, I dont want anyone at the dealership to touch it, leave the plastic on, the 2 gal gas in it (gimmie the cash for a fill up), dont put your stickers on it..

That makes me wanna hurl, foot slipped of the clutch my @$$. The pedals are textured so your foot wont slip off!

 

Hey, the 2008 Viper's interior is just as up to date as the 2009 Challengers' interior!





Uh-oh

 

OK, that will solve the problem, until they are STOOOOPID enough to put another porter behind the wheel of a 600HP car. IMO the dealer is the idiot here.

 

When I picked up my car I drove the salesman to the gas station myself.
I am the only person who has ever driven the car on the road.
There were notes on every piece of paperwork not to put on stickers or drill plate holes.

 

too much power in the hands of an idiot.
