Would Only a Tool Drive a Dodge Viper?
There is a 92 Dodge Viper (with 11,000 miles) at a local dealer at only $36,000. Mrs. Utah and I looked at it this morning and it was in perfect shape. To me, it is about the coolest looking car in the world and I seriously want to buy it to replace my 150,000 mile MR2 Turbo.
Problem, Mrs. Utah says driving a car like that screams midlife crisis and it will make girls think that you are trying to overcome deficiencies elsewhere. That never occured to me and I didnt believe her. a bit ago, 2 of her girlfriends stopped by and I asked a simple question, "What would you think if you saw a guy drive by right now in a Dodge Viper?" Both of them responded without hesitation that it screamed midlife crisis and that the guy was trying to compensate for deficiencies. Mrs. Utah and her two friends all agreed though that a Mercedes, BMW, or Porsche sports car would spark their interests a lot as it would signal class, sophistication, and wealth. The problem is that I dont like any of those cars as much and I am not trying to signal anything. I just want a car that I love and that I love to look at. However, I dont want to be laughed at as I drive down the road. So, are the 3 girls correct? Would only a tool drive a car like a viper and would the impression that the car gave off be a deal killer for purchasing it?

Polling three women who are friends(so obviously have similar interests and opinions) is hardly an average. Vipers kick ass.

Drive the viper and when you go past women have Ms. Utah lift up her head.

While I think that guys who drive this car probably have small penises (penii?), I think you should drive the car you want.

You guys and your cars...
He asked my opinion and and I gave my honest answer. I also think Corvettes and Ferraris scream midlife crisis or I am insecure, something along those lines. I am not speaking of the preformance of the car. Mercedes, BMW and Porsche, imo, are driven by men who are established and successful-its my perception and happened to be the perception of my two girlfriends(and we have never discussed this). Their responses were completely spontaneous. We all agreed that the Porsche is the car that would not make you look like a tool. If I saw a Viper driving down the street I would look at the car, but if I see a Porsche I would look at the car and the driver. As long as I have known Utah his "dream car" has always been the 911 and he has come close several times to buying one but for some reason has not.  MUCH BETTER! Its ultimately his choice. ...btw I drive a Dodge [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
