Damn....the body looked straight too, before it was demolished.

 

Hurts to watch

 

 

That "art" on the hood was the first Travesty that Viper was given.

Usually this kind of thing happens when the owner was caught at high rates of speed.
They tend to squish the car, this one was made a example of though for sure.

 

Makes me sick!!!!

 

Am I the only person who doesn't care? It's just a car

 

With a name like RWD Madness I would think that this fine example of RWD Madness would invoke sadness...

Then I saw the Mustang peeling out :lol:

 

Wow this actually hurt my heart... WHY

 

Saddest thing I've seen all day.

Why ???

 

For those of you wondering why...here is a link. Basically Dodge donated a ton of Vipers to schools for educational purposes (I wish I went to one of those schools!). The cars were pre-production and not street legal, but some people at a few of the schools decided to drive them on the street. That probably would have been fine, but two of them got into crashes, which is now causing FIAT millions of dollars. So, in order to protect themselves from more lawsuits, FIAT is ordering the destruction of them.

 

Is that why the other one is getting Squished that is all over the news?

Similar to what THE_WATCHER said, I believe because the cars were donated as educational purposes they are taken apart, rebuilt, taken apart again, etc multiple times by inexperienced workers in order to learn. As a result, parts are damages, nuts and bolts are all stripped, or parts even missing altogether. The quality control necessary on the cars would cause too much liability, inconvenience, and money in order to make keeping them feasible and safe.

 

As per Chrysler there are no law suits. I think they have to destroy it because the cars were donated to educational institutions. Dodge used it as a tax deduction ... so they can not sell them.

 

At least they were enjoyed until the last minutes of their existence, that guy filming was having as much fun as Pee-wee Herman in Bangkok
