In the case of the Viper, it will probably pass noisily and at a high rate of speed.

Yeah it stinks, but it does nothing to the many used ones that have reached a beautiful level of depreciation. There will always bee the good old ones that merely want to kill you every time you step on the gas.

Guadalajara has seen storms before and I think they said it will weakened if it goes in that far. Plus all the mountains just hurt the storm.

And yes, the Viper going away is super lame. Also one of my favs. It is such a middle finger to these “elite” sportscars

That's what happens when your Halo Car is elipsed by 707 hp america sleds. Plus the viper isnt a terribly good car, the V10 it has is turrible.

Punk_Girl_98 > TractorPillow
10/23/2015 at 11:16

Hey Tractor Pillow! Is your Viper or any Viper really that harsh to drive?

gin-san - shitpost specialist > Punk_Girl_98
10/23/2015 at 11:17

It is sad, but if you want to go into automotive design, maybe you can be the designer for the new Viper when they revive it in the future. There's no way something like this will stay dead forever - it's probably just a hiatus like the Ford GT (even if it is a long one).

Punk_Girl_98 > EL_ULY
10/23/2015 at 11:18

Yeah Tractor Pillow said they are harsh to drive. I guess all that means is that you gotta be a pro to drive lol. Yeah hopefully their house will be fine. It’s true about the landscape.

Nature isn’t kind to our lot. Oh well. At least she gave us here in the Philippines enough time to dust off and walk.

I’ve seen what 195 mph of wind can do, but 205?

I shall pray, through the intercession of both Our Lady of Guadalupe and Our Lady of La Naval de Manila, for the safety and speedy recovery, and that every nation be there for Mexico. And please tell you family to move to somewhere safe.

Oh yeah the Ford GT. That is true. Fingers crossed til then yay!!!

Sweet Trav > Punk_Girl_98
10/23/2015 at 11:23

No the V10 is a V8 from the 1960's with two cylinders tacked on. Its a terrible engine for its specific output, power density and efficiency. The ACR is a track beast, but you have to sell profitable street cars to sell hand built racecars.

Tika, girl, 10 years old. We adopted her when she was about 1 from a shelter and she’s been family ever since. Sadly age has caught up to her right now, but she’s still enjoying life

Wheelerguy > EL_ULY
10/23/2015 at 11:53

Mexico needs bigger hugs, though. This is their first “ultra-hurricane”, and their preparation right now, while would make a world of differences, can only do so much.

If there’s anything, though, many new lessons will be taught and learned here, and some more will be re-taught and re-learned.

TractorPillow > Punk_Girl_98
10/23/2015 at 12:06

Sometimes I think it's not all they've made it out to be, but sometimes I dread it. Also, the front lip is really low and it's easy to scrape. I killed a toad in my driveway in the viper without a tire touching it. In fact I'm getting the front lip repainted as I type because of some bad roads I drove over.

EL_ULY > Wheelerguy
10/23/2015 at 12:16

Heck yeah dude. I have family through-out down there including Puerto Vallarta where this is supposed to strike. They have left to Mexico DF though. They said everyone in the area has left due to government orders since a couple days ago. Hopefully Guadalaja and Punk Girl’s people are safe also.

Off topic but since I have you here. I am planing a pretty good Taxi Mania die-cast HAWL around January 2nd is when I go down there. I think the brand is supposed to expand to cover taxis from other countries.

Oh wow. Yeah they are pretty low from the ones i’ve seen. Hopefully the bumper isn’t damaged.

So... that mean you’re probably not going to hand the keys over to a noob like me for a test drive lol. That’s ok though, you already said I could get a ride in it :) Yusss!

I got to go to a dealer and sit on one in the showroom for the last time then.

The paint was chipped mainly by the shop doing an alignment. It will be fine and they are taking care of me. It's less rattly and a smoother ride than my old lotus elise, but it is harder to control and obviously much more powerful. I'll keep it for a couple more years but it's not a forever car for me

Punk_Girl_98 > TractorPillow
10/23/2015 at 13:36

Noooo keep it forever! It sounds like a true legend to drive. Post pics on OPPo once the car is all nice and shiny again plis!

Hi. I’m sorry to hear about your father’s family - that’s a big storm coming, and I hope that they will be okay.

As an aside, it’s probably not a great idea to post selfies of yourself on a random internet forum. There has been some concern expressed about that by a number of people, and I wanted to bring it up with you.

As much as Oppositelock seems like a wonderful, tight-knit community, it’s still a random little corner of the internet. It’s full of a bunch of random people who may or may not be whom they present themselves to be, and it’s impossible to understand the truth of people’s intentions. While most people may mean well, there’s always someone that doesn’t, and it’s hard to know the difference. Even right here on Oppositelock, there could be one or more people that might not be trustworthy and might not have the best intentions.

To be blunt with you, you’re on the internet with a bunch of internet people that you don’t really know. Enjoy hanging out and talking cars, but be careful with what personal information you put out there. Don’t put up things, including photos, that someone could potentially try to take advantage of. As has been seen many times, the internet is not always a friendly place for girls and women, and it can be a downright dicey place for minors.

Have fun and interact, but please protect yourself. If you experience any issues, please let a moderator and Kinja admins know.

Punk_Girl_98 > pauljones
10/23/2015 at 13:59

Thanks for your concerns PaulJones. I know how the internet works and know how it can get sometimes. I was told about the mods and am fully aware to contact any of you if anything seems suspicious. I didn’t think I was sharing anything extremely personal. Also, I didn’t think a quick selfie showing what the end of the Viper line means to me was going to cause such a huge disruption. It really blows because i’m a huge fan, like a lot! Still I’ve seen a couple people here post images of themselves and don’t know why mine caused an issue but if you say it did, I believe you.

SnapUndersteer, Italian Spiderman > Punk_Girl_98

It’s important to note that we didn’t remove because it was an issue, but rather to protect you.

I’m ready to admit it may be on the overly cautious side, but ultimately we should clarify that it’s up to you to do as you wish

pauljones > Punk_Girl_98
10/23/2015 at 14:20

It’s not that anything you did violated any rules - it’s just that there is concern over the potential for people to behave in a predatory or otherwise inappropriate manner towards you. I don’t like to say this, but the simple truth is that Oppositelock hasn’t always been friendliest place for girls and women. As you have no doubt figured out by now, it’s pretty much populated by a bunch of dudebros and what not, and very often their attitudes and behavior very much reflects that, particularly when it came to girls and women. Oppositelock has gotten considerably better, and we’ve worked very hard to weed a lot of those assholes out, but we’ve still got a long ways to go.

No one is upset with you in the least; not in the mod group. We’re just worried as a result of experience. We’ve not only seen and dealt with extremely sexist and misogynistic behavior here on Oppositelock, but elsewhere as well.

We want you to be here and we want this to be a positive, constructive place for you to interact. However, we also want you to be safe.

The possibility that someone may engage in predatory or other poor behavior behind the mask of internet anonymity is a little scary, and it’s something that worries us as mods. Sometimes that behavior isn’t always direct or obvious - have you ever gone to CNN or BBC news sites, and seen those sponsored ads? Or maybe the sponsored ads and clickbait that can show up on social media sometimes? Many of those pictures are actually stolen from social media accounts and other sources that people post online. Do you remember the whole Ashley Madison scandal from a few months ago? It was a website that was supposedly in place for older, married men to find women to have side affairs with. Except that there were few, if any, real women. They were all bot accounts, using pictures stolen from Twitter, Facebook profiles, etc. It was essentially a great big scam to steal the money of pathetic middle-aged pricks using the stolen representation of hundreds of women online.

This is the sort of thing that we are worried about. You yourself have done nothing wrong or against the rules - allow me be perfectly clear on that point. But we, as a mod group, are worried that others may behave innappropriately towards you, and thus not only ruin your experience here, but also potentially threaten your online safety.

I’m sorry that you took my prior response as being a knock against you - it genuinely wasn’t.

10/23/2015 at 15:32

I greatly appreciate this. It’s better to have a tighter grip on these sort of events from the beginning. Nobody has ever said anything about me in a way of inquiring anything. Nobody made any comments towards my picture of anything like that. I’m not the one to take offense if someone were to say anything to me. But that’s not the point at all. It’s about full prevention of any bad activities under your watch.

Am I going to be on the constant watch list here? Lol I mean, I understand being in a place place full of men. I don’t want to feel like a burden to the mods. As it is, I don’t want that constant pressure of censorship over anything I do, even if it’s only a “hello” or “happy birthday”. Trust me, some people even take that the wrong way unfortunately.

A watch list? If only we were that coordinated as a mod group. No, you’re not going to be watched or monitored or anything of that nature. We simply react when we see something that might be a concern - we don’t actively try to find things to intervene in. I reacted to your selfie here A) because I saw it randomly and B) because I have a cousin, and I remember some of the things that happened to her when she posted things she thought were innocuous. More of a reflect move on my part, and when I brought it up amongst the group they were a little worried about it to.

Punk_Girl_98 > pauljones
10/24/2015 at 23:38

I understand. I know the risks duh but I agree with the mods decision. I do like posting selfies. I do it all the time actually (mostly on a female automotive forum). If there was a watch list though, I vote on Xylo lol. She seems to always get under everyones skin in that ultra smug “i’m not doing anything wrong” way. She was all tripe over protective on my first post. She means well but comes off insulting. Getting into everyone biz like the captain of the PC police. No doubt if OPPO had a vote, she’d be out.
