      If you ever fell in love with the Gen 1 Viper, a great G1 photo can still ‘stir’ up those feelings from 1989 Auto Show. Like reminiscing about an old Girlfriend of your youth. “Always Beautiful.”

      The list fell one-click short, since the Prius commercial success overlooks the Tesla-S as the likely true future of the industry. My home state -WA- now boasts the highest per-capita of Tesla owners…… due in part because hydro-electric power is 50% the cost of CA’s electricity. And the flipping Tesla S is simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

      While I wouldn’t expect that they would put two vipers on there, the Gen II GTS lines get me every time (obviously)! Glad the viper made the list.

      You should see the number of Tesla S’s in Norway! I went out there a couple months ago and they use them for TAXI CABS!

      Norway has insane taxes for what we would call a normal car (say a 6 cylinder gasoline engine) here and inconceivable taxes on vipers and the like (more than the price of the car to pay the import tax). Conversely, they have insane tax breaks for electric cars and with the cost of everything over there the Tesla is considered affordable.
