What do you do that allows you to afford a $63,000 car and insurance with two accidents at 22?

Are you trying to impress us with your alleged wealth? I doubt it and am very unimpressed. Perhaps the person actually paying for the car should make the decision!

And which lotus are you talking about?
Why would you drop $63k on a car, pay massive insurance, when you can't drive it every day?

That logic seems somewhat flawed to me

hahah i am paying for it trust me, i work my ass off.
and i am not wealthy, just put all my $$$ in my cars
my gf can vouch for that lol
i feel bad cant even take her out 2 dinner half the time.


i am a paramedic by career but do custom paint and body work on the side.
i buy cars and sell them..
mostly old mustangs and such.

my fam. owns a few companies in the area and i help out but dont make much maybe like 15/hr under the table.

after looking @ that viper u can not tell me it isnt a pretty car.
like i said i thnk its just stuck in my head cuz my aunt had one and i see how much attn she got plus the car was just bad ass....

i do love the 5thgen. i can honestly say i prob am more obsessed with it than anyone in this forum, i have a shrine... lol
i order every piece of memorablila there is to own.

i just got a barret jackson camaro hat today- gotta love ebay

Reason to stick with the Camaro..

Reason # 1 Viper is double the price...
Reason # 2 Its a freakin Camaro for Chr!st sakes!
Reason # 3 Cheaper to maintain
Reason # 4 Less insurance
Reason # 5 Its Sexier.

Maybe you can't drive it everyday but the difference between camaro and viper is the same difference there's between a BMW M6 and a Ferrari F430. The BMW maybe is a kind of "allrounder" you can do pretty much everything with it, it has a great engine and it's quite roomy while the ferrari is far less practical and you can't use it everyday but those few times you'll test it on a track you'll thank god that you chose it...

No... It isn't, the Viper is THE American Supercar...

Wow! Is that a challenge?

If that were true you would never have posted your original thought, eh?
