The big snowstorm hit Québec yesterday. Some guy learned the hard way that Viper and snow is a NO-NO !
Too bad, dont know him as he's not a member of the VOA Québec.

He must have been caught out in it? No sane person would have take their car out. Hell, I have to be careful in my 4wd truck. Viper has been in the garage a month again now, only been out 3 time since the end of November!

If that's Competition Blue I wonder if it's the ACR that's for sale in Ottawa on AutoTrader out for a test drive??? I think those Kumho's are rated only down to 50 F so pretty careless whether there was snow or not.

Why would a test drive have been allowed in the snow? Something makes no sense here.

Its mandatory to have winter tires on in Quebec from Dec 15 to March 15... Surely you can buy Blizzaks on steelies as package from Tire rack in a 355? no?:p

I've gotten caught in the snow once in my 03. It was during the One Lap of America heading from Colorado Pikes Peak International to Infineon. Snowed on I-80. Scared the crap out of me.

It was posted on the VoA facebook group, I beloeve it was said that this car was wrecked in OK conditions on a racetrack and the snow fell later on the car strapped on the truck. I'm sure someone here has the details.

How do we know what happened and when it happened? The car is on a flat bed truck. It is clearly covered with a fairly thick coat of ice on the back and snow. It may have been wrecked quite some time before and what we are looking at is a photo of it being transported somewhere.

I live in Ohio. If there is a cloud in Indiana Viper stays in that day...Just saying...Poor guy...

Would bet the comment that the car was wrecked prior and the snow accumulated at the storage lot prior to movement on the truck is the likely answer.

Was that a REAL TA or a fake TA. I want to know if it was numbered, because we all know that only REAL TA's are numbered.

Que donk to chime in.

Look like it has shipping plastic or something on the hood.

Look at the picture again. It's on a 48' low bed trailer (not a tow truck) so the event happened probably day or weeks earlier. The front of the car is chained down (notice the chain binders just ahead of the front tires) and the back of the car is cross tied over the rear tires. The strap over the hood is to keep the custom fitted hood from taking flight.

You are probably correct, although I assume you did not see the video of another insane Viper owner driving his car down the highway in a snowstorm up here in the Northeast a couple months back. I believe that video was all over Facebook. So there are people out there crazy enough to do it...

This isn't the same exact video that I was thinking about but I'm pretty sure they had a second person behind them recording this as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMDqVL4jpIY

I have no idea and could not agree more. Never mind the fact that you now have salt embedded in every crevice of the car. :t0135:
