Re: Viper vs. 993

Huh? Are you saying that someone who is buying a Viper CAN'T afford a
Porsche? At that level of Automobile, $25,000 is chump change.
Maybe not for you and me....but for someone that buys these cars, price is
RARELY an issue.

Let me tell you that price is always an issue. The names may have changed but
the problems are still the same. Even if you can afford an $80,000 car, that
"pocket change" $25,000 is still an extra $1000 a month. When you make a decent
amount of money you work HARDER trying to save it than most people are trying to
make it. You can't just piss it away.
Just my $.02, but spoken from experience.
