I Should Run From This Dodge Viper Superleggera, Right?
I Should Run From This Dodge Viper Superleggera, Right? -January 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:46

There are times in life when you should very clearly run. Like when you are being chased by a murderer, or when craft supplies contain any amount of glitter. But then there are times when it’s less clear whether you should run or embrace with open arms. This blue 2008 is one of those times.

I’m no idiot; I know they never made a Dodge Viper Superleggera, but if there ever was to be one, it would definitely be like this one listed on . Isn’t it divine? It looks perfectly fine from the photos. It’s said to have 600 horsepower, hooked up to a six-speed manual. Neato.

And it even runs, too, look.

With 2,199 miles “showing on the odometer,” here’s what the listing says about the magical Viper:

The unit is missing the hood, roof, and trunk and the other panels do not appear to be installed correctly. The rear end locks up when power is applied. The speakers and windshield are missing. The tires are worn. The check engine light is on with codes P0316, P0553, P0517, P2610, P0369, and P2104.

Notice:

TITLE DISCLAIMER: The title is branded “REBUILT SALVAGE - ISSUED BY OH - VIN CERTIFICATION WAIVED”

Bah! Salvage malvage. The fewer parts on it, the fewer things there are to go wrong, I say.

It’s for sale in Georgetown, Texas and the current bid at the time of this writing is a measly $25. Twenty-five bucks! Come on, internet, this is a blessing. A one-of-a-kind Dodge Viper Superleggera with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

Wrongness, like rightness, is merely a state of mind. You need to break out of that construct. Do the right thing. Don’t run.

(h/t to Joe!)

If you’re like me—and God help you if you are, legitimately—you’ve browsed the website of Ohio’s and said “Yeah, one day when I get on, I’m going to dump , because why the hell not?” The dealer is famous for its collection of rare and wonderfully well-kept old BMWs. Now,...

At $7,500, Could This Crazy Custom 1980 Volvo 242DL Turn You Into Läderlappen?
Not everyone will appreciate the customization that has gone into today’s Volvo. Then again, not everyone can be as awesome as it is. Let’s see if its price reflects its stature. Looking back on the somewhat apathetic response to yesterday’s one has to wonder how long it will be before...

’s former heading to auction , like reality got stuck somewhere along the way, on a vicious loop. It’s like popping your favorite CD from 2003 into the nearly obsolete CD player in your nearly obsolete car, hoping it won’t get stuck 30 seconds into the first song again, but...
