This version of the Viper has been too tame, aesthetically speaking. The first-gen Viper was awesome. It was very raw, very fast, and looked the part. The current Viper is too much like the C4 Corvette in that it’s appearance has been toned down from the previous generation.

Bikes rock, plain and simple. I used to be a car guy. I suppose I still am to a degree, but they really don’t do much for me anymore since getting into bikes. That’s why I have one “car” — a dually pickup, and four motorcycles.

He’s smart. And I’m glad Google is allowing it.

I refuse to own any car without a proper hood that can be opened. So despite liking the Boxster and Cayman, I’ll never own one.

I’m tired of stupid laws. It was Thomas Jefferson who said it is the the duty of every person to break unjust laws. And the fact that people want to whine about breaking stupid laws, they really need to get their head out of their ass.

Good luck! I look forward to future updates! I’m going to be in Moab next March.. I’ll look for the Jankiness XJ. :)

Gosh, I sure miss snowmobiling! I sold my last one in 2009... but there’s been so little snow since, that plus lack of play cash, that I haven’t gotten another one.

I’ve long-believed that double yellows need to be legally not applicable to motorcycles. I know many riders and every one of them passes on double yellows when safe to do so.

I own #10... though a 2005 model. And yeah, dealing with stop ‘n go traffic in it isn’t fun. But what’s even less fun? Doing so when towing my 40’ long, 16,000 lb. 5th wheel toyhauler.

I know you put a lot of work into the article, but I have to go ahead and say that I think the whole stance culture is f’ing stupid. It’s more about STYLE than anything else. It’s about IMAGE, and to me, that’s poser-dom. It’s just like Harleys. Most of the people who own Harleys do it for the image. Normal looking…

Good article! I posted it to Twitter.

I save articles like this to add to my list of proof as to why I absolutely hate cops. And yes, there are more cops like this than not. I refuse to give them a break on this. They are supposed to serve and protect US. Instead, they’re serving the gov’t by extracting every last cent out of the public that they can. And…

I’ll take this opportunity to express my sympathy, but to also point out that, hey, Microsoft made it. No way in hell would be be a quality item. Look at their past products — Windows, Internet Explorer, etc. They’re all garbage. So it makes sense that this would be garbage too.

I’m a bit miffed that it has a timing belt instead of a chain. Now many of these motors will die untimely deaths because owners won’t replace the belt for one reason or another... and when it breaks, BOOM.

I don’t need to because most of them are assholes anyway. The day they adopted the “I’m better than you” attitude they exhibit all the time (even when off-duty) and forgot that their purpose is To Serve and Protect (the people, not the gov’t), they lost what little respect I had for them.

I don’t like the politically-based ones... but since this place is run by Gizmodo and Gawker, you have to expect them to use every opportunity to shove their agenda down readers’ throats.

Let’s not forget that by using his own car, his speedometer is NOT officially certified accurate the way a police car’s is. So if nothing else, they’re all invalid due to that technicality.

Having seen the concept and the final product, I’ve learned that Subaru’s concepts don’t mean crap.

I’m in Oregon. At first, it seems like an insult to not “be able” to pump your own gas. But if you don’t own a super nice car that you don’t want a scratch on or gas spilled down the side of, you quickly get to appreciate it. That is... when there’s no wait.

I would have nothing to do with it. First, a suit is not appropriate riding gear. It’ll get destroyed if you go down, and you’ll get way more road rash than you would in proper gear.
