The Dodge viper

What was intended as an opportunity to educate students at South Puget Sound Community College has developed into a disappointing result of today's "nothing is my fault" society. 8 years after Chrysler generously donated one of a kind 1992 Dodge dodge viper sports car sports car worth approximately $250,000 to the institution for the students to take apart and rebuild. But, as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end.

The Dodge vipersthat Dodge donated for learning purposes are unique versions of the car boasting around 600 horsepower that can effortlessly manage above 200 mph. The Sports cars generously donated were pre-production models of the first hardtop Dodge vipers ever made. As you might have suspected, this type of the classy Viper is all but street legal. Many famous people have tried over the years to purchase one of these unchained beasts, but have been turned away by Chrysler. One could imagine that the risk of being held responsible for selling a non street legal car greatly outweighed the pros of having an extra $250,000 in the bank for Chrysler.

Having already seen the destruction of VINs 1 and 2 by excavator on the internet, the college students and teachers of South Puget Sound feared that their time might be coming soon. Sure enough, they got their letter in the mail ordering the complete and utter destruction of their pride and joy and provide proof that the deed was in fact done. The 8 year generously donated car has not only been used by the college to teach automotive classes, but it is also a key part of their recruitment program for the campus. Only 93 schools can say that they have, in their possession, a pre-production race car caliber Viper for the students to get their hands on and learn from.

Included in the original contract with the schools involved is the stipulation that "Whenever vehicles are donated to institutions for learning reasons that they are to be destroyed when they are no longer needed for their intended educational purposes." Although the university students are attempting to get a petition to save the Dodge viper from an early death, Dodge seems to be resolute in their stance to remove the programs Sports cars from existence. Reports say that 2 of the contributed cars were involved in crashes that lead to Chrysler shelling out millions in damages. If that is true, then Dodge is simply suggesting to decrease the possibility of repeat circumstances through removing the one constant, the car.

Regardless of the reasons behind Chryslers decision to bring an end to the educational program that spanned the better half of a decade, many university students used the cars as a means of studying a rare piece of Dodge dodge viper sports car sports car history. The down side is that the situation brings light to the reality of today where no good deed goes unpunished and no one is safe from a lawsuit when someone else can be blamed. Despite my cynical approach to the situation and how its unfolding I do hope to see the donation of vehicles to educational institutions continue as it adds invaluable hands on opportunities for university students. .
