already having gotten over my mild one-day Cecily Strong crush

It comes up occasionally on the Viper Owner Facebook group from people that live in colder climates. I’ve never seen it in snow, but a reversed Viper logo made from frost can appear on the hood. Having trouble finding a picture, but it is indeed a real thing.

Can confirm. I got the exact same car right now at my workplace-

That’s amazing. Front and rear engined with detatchable command unit for commuting. Wildly impractical for a production vehicle but as a minivan owner this is kind of the car of my dreams.

She totally is, and I say that already having gotten over my mild one-day Cecily Strong crush. The “Bivlgoggy” variant is gold.

THANK YOU!

That is one of the funniest skits SNL has done in a while. It still makes me laugh a lot. “Other cars are slow and Hondas” Cecily Strong is a god damn treasure.

I wish I had a picture of it. This was back in ~2002, when I worked at Chrysler. I can’t find a picture of it anywhere. It IS possible that it was a prototype feature and never made it to production. It’s hard to find because no one leaves their viper in the snow! lol

great pic

Wat.

Dodge Dart?

Can we just stop and talk for a minute about that Geo-Metro-2-door-Trans-Sport-6-wheeled-van-thing in the background?

I think even more obscure is the under hood insulation. It’s shaped such that if frost or snow were to befall the hood, the viper emblem would show through the snow. Of course, the only Viper I ever saw left in the snow was an M-Plate, but it was still cool.

But, you could get it to whistle the Star-Spangled Banner if your throttle control was good enough.

The Viper didn’t change much in the transition to production, but the proportions of the concept, especially at the front, are slightly different. I really love the older headlight shape with the dark coverings. And the deeper rims are nice too.

No, the headers are like glimpsing an accidental upskirt. Far better than big dumbo ears handing off the windshield.

So it had truck mirrors to go with its truck engine ?

The production version actually had it integrated into the windshield, but the panel gap was just so huge that it looked like a traditionally mounted mirror.

the hell with those mirrors how about the Lambo in the same booth since they owned them at the time, the sweet new yorker, and that white transporter behind it. IIRC that thing split into two sections one for family hauler one for city driving
