They're giving away a Dodge Viper at our local auto show.
It's worth $130,000 CDN. If you won it, would you keep it?

It's pretty, but it doesn't seem that practical to me.

5. Assume no taxes
We don't have to pay taxes on anything we win in Canada.

2. Absolutely.......NOT!
Vipers are practically undrivable in normal traffic or in bad weather.

I can think of 20 other sports cars I'd rather have than a Viper. Oh, and I think they're ugly.

Now if it was a Porsche Boxster S, then I wouldn't have to think twice about keeping it.

and sell my old car.

Dodge Vipers are nice automobiles

4. I'm afraid my hubby would keep it
along with the other 6 trophy cars he's "collected." So don't tell him, ok?

7. I'd sell it. No way would I keep a car like that on the street.
My apartment building has on the street parking only. I'd be constantly worried about it. Way too much hassle to own one.

9. I'd sell it and buy a Hemi 'Cuda.
Old muscle cars are a weakness of mine.
