Dodge Viper Owner Gets pwn3d; Thread Goes Viral
 

this one belongs in the Classics Archive. :eek:

So this idiot got schooled today - Viper Club of America Discussion Forums

Actually it belongs in Off Topic ;)

Funny....You gotta read past the original post...go to post #23, then you'll laugh yer ass off..:D

?
 

Actually It belongs on a Viper forum ! ?

Like I said...go to page 2, read post #23. You'll then get the joke.

I drove a viper for a little over two years and that is classic!

It took me 2 weeks of driving a V8 Vega when I was 18 to realize that the fact that one car will out accelerate another doesn't make anyone more manly. There is zero skill involved and a fair quantity of "Being too stupid to just drive your own car" with getting sucked into a street acceleration race.

The skill in driving comes in when we are talking about traffic awareness, braking, and cornering.

In otherwords: Control.
Control includes not letting some dork going vroom vroom next to me change the way I am driving my car.


BTW- The Viper thread is funny: The guy being busted and how important it is to the average person in that thread to have out accelerated some other brand of car.

When I saw "75th and 59", I knew exactly where they were. That's where I grew up.

The proliferation of posers in Vipers and 'Vettes drove me away. ;)

That's funny. I know the intersection where that photo was taken....it's a busy strip and cops patrol it almost constantly.....noone in their right mind would street race there.


From thread:

Moment when the anchor dropped on the OP's hood....

Only 8 pages so far? That's not viral...


Viral are the ones that spiral out to 60-70 pages.

I got all excited, but that was kinda lame.

Wow, the Viper guys really like their smileys.

Worth the read. We have several on this forum who could do the same...

You know what, this actually happened to me (not the corvette/viper - but same idea).

I was driving the spyder on a group caravan to an event. We were on I-5. I accellerated to 70 and sat in the slow lane. Next thing I know, this fella comes flying up behind me, yards the wheel over to zip into the fast lane, and passes me at probably a good 100 mph. I laughed when he passed, figured he was just feeling his oats. Kept it at 70.

Well apparently he went on line to a forum and talked up a storm about the great race we had and how his superior car bested ours in every way, yada yada yada...

Dude. If both of you are going for it, it's a race! If one of you is going for it, it's like masturbation - certainly entertaining but not really something to brag about.

Quote of the year. :D

Yeah - my thoughts exactly...

I agree. When the OP doesn't come back after 14 pages, and the rest of them just sit around and spout off how PWNED he is, and how everyone knows now, then it's kinda not really PWNING nor is it viral. Angela's masturbation concept applies here...they're circle jerking, not PWNING.

In fact, it's annoying that any thread that makes fun of someone doing something stupid is "viral". I was part of one of the first REAL viral threads, the kind that gets written about in newspapers and ends with the person being pwned begging the world to leave him alone. bumper stickers were made with his name on them, the dude can't walk 15 feet without being recognized as a cad. He'll never live a normal life again.

THAT is PWNING.

To take your analogy a bit further:

Just sayin'

that was damn funny. did the OP ever come back?

meh
