i personally do not like a viper one bit. they attract too much attention.
Thats understandable. But thats not what your original post said. you simply called it a slow pos while in your next post said its hella quick.

More like $400 a piece... Plus don't forget they are crazy hot inside and not very comfortable at all. The early ones don't even have door locks...
It's just not a car for the masses.

I totally agree,
But you also have to take into consideration some people may only be in the apartment temporarily. Around here you'll see $30-60k+ cars parked at townhouses and apartments off campus from Roanoke College students. In their case, everything is paid for, and the apartment/townhouse is simply a temporary dwelling place.

It could be a young guy with a Lotus who just has the apartment while he is in school or something waiting to buy a house later on.

But if he's in that apartment BECAUSE of his pricey car, then that sucks. Then it's all about their image as they stroll around on the street, and I bet they never invite people to their baller house where they keep their baller car.

Damn I love vipers. I like the newer ones but I still prefer the body style of the early 90's.

The coolest thing ive seen here in Lynchburg is a silver NSX, yellow Prowler, and a Ford GT.

I never see many exotics around here but when I do, I have a stroke

Okay... He's good in my book then.

I'm generally not too crazy about white cars but that car looks gorgeous in white! It's like a little stormtrooper on wheels.

Prowler??? I consider Prowler's to be about as exotic as PT Cruisers. Hate, hate, hate, hate, HATE THEM! What are they, like $70k? I grew up wanting to be just like my uncle.. He collects everything from antique cars, a few exotics, and lots of hot rods/street rods and Corvette's... I'd much rather take $70k or however much it costs and build a much better car for that kind of money all around. They're head turners, but they're garbage.

I've always hated the NSX too, but whatever, it's considered an exotic car by most people. It sure looks exotic at least. As for the GT, sure, I'll let you have that one...
