It's closer to 500. I'm sure he would be able to manage it if he could drive...

the car has not been driven by anyone other than myself, read what I wrote earlier before you start saying my daddy's the one making the payments, the only thing my dad is helping me out with is a)letting me live at home b)letting me be on his insurance policy, which I admit is a huge help
but it's w/e, believe what you want to, say w/e you want to say that'll make you feel better, doesn't matter

I got cheaper insurance under my own policy, than under my dad and he's got a perfect record. What you mean to say, is he's insuring it under his name, because you bought a car you can't afford to insure under your own.

my record is really bad, got a lot of tickets with the z last year, so i'm listed on his policy as an occasional driver on the viper

I'd quit focusing on your self esteem and learn how to drive.

I'm an all right driver, I had a Z for almost 2 years, i'm not saying the z was a monster or anything lol but it was quick, and it taught me the essentials of rwd. but I didn't get a Viper so I can go out race it, I just like cruising in it lookin' good

A gen II only puts a little over 400 tq to the tires, so I know a gen I is an even bigger pig. So if your blowing those big ass Viper tires of @ 60mph with less than 400 tq at the wheels, then you just ran through a puddle.
