This is absolutely revolting. I personally don't care for the Dodge Viper; I'm just not a Dodge guy (I've owned, and been stranded by, too many of them), but this is just a travesty:
Fiat has ordered all of their 'donated' cars be destroyed, because one person was stupid and got hurt in one. Of course, since Fiat owns Dodge, that means the pre-production Viper seen above will be crushed.
Crushing a good working car offends me, regardless of how mundane the ride, but with a literal one-of-a-kind, it's just blasphemous. Somebody, please, talk some sense into the Fiat corporate machine!

Once again, with feeling.
Chrysler donated these cars. They still own these cars. At some point a trigger happy lawyer will get some brains and realize that they can go after Chrysler since their wallets are the biggest.
Chrysler is covering their asses against any possible litigation. This is America. People sue each other over one person calling the other a retard.
This makes perfect sense once you realize whats at stake. Chrysler is not going to play ball with a bunch of ass clown students who hooned a car that PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS have to treat with respect much less some punk teenager who doesn't know what raw power really is.
They are being 100% sensible here. They don't want their hands involved in this mess. They'll do whatever it takes to make sure they don't even remotely leave themselves open to future legal action due to some students and some lawyers who disregard personal responsibility and go after a lawsuit.

Victorious is right. Also it wasn't just one car, there were multiple incidents.
I don't agree that Chrysler should straight up destroy them, maybe damage certain drivetrain components beyond repair to keep em off the streets.

The thing I take issue with, however, is that the cars should be protected; not destroyed. If they're worried about someone hurting themselves, that's fine; just move them to a museum somewhere, or require the schools to use them as display pieces (frankly, having the car be a 'repair dummy' seems a little silly in the first place.) Simply destroying them is such a waste.
