lucky sod.

fark seems farked today.

Ah, the sweet rewards of bribery. Although the only thing I got for good grades was staying up past 11:00.

So... did he or didn't he get the car?

They didn't mention his 1.2 GPA.

I wonder what insurance on a Viper would be for an 18-year old?

Tampa Nugget: LMAO

Well that came back to bite her in the ass, didnt it?

That's a pretty cool story, but why promise a car for perfect attendence? Why not for an 'A' average or something. What if the kid was really sick with some contagious disease but went to school cuz he wanted the damn car.

Sorry, I'm just pissed my parents never got me a Viper.

sa-WEET.

now i know why my parents never bought me a car

Around Christmas last year, he endured an arthroscopic knee surgery on a weeknight because he couldn't persuade the doctor to work on the weekend. He was in class the next morning .

His mother wouldn't let him miss school after having arthroscopic surgery!?!? She could just let him miss one day for that?

He did get a dodge but not a viper. Here is the photo of him driving his car

This teaches mom to watch what they say. What this kid did was shut the hell up mom. you buy me viper now. Way to go mom, way to go

sounds like Mom is trying to lean him towards a 1987 GMC 1/2 ton pick-up

stick with the sports car, kid!

Just wait, reporters will dig into this one and find a day he missed for a family trip...or an afternoon due to a doctor's appointment...or a day he was late coming back from lunch...

there will be scandal.

Wow. And all I got to drive to school was a 1976 Ford station wagon.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

Way to go kid. That must have been hard.

Now with a Viper he can skip classes in college and fark the freshmen hotties he will be pulling with his def ride.

I would SO get a Lotus Esprit. Nothing beats that.

Logweasel... I know that I was paying $328 / month for mine and I was 23.

Sorry son, I said "Toy Yoda"

Great, show up to class sick, so my kid gets sick and has to stay home. Not a great lesson there, no virtue in spreading germs.

ridiculous reward for previously expected behaviour. I mean what does the average person miss over the course fo a year, 4 ro 5 days? so he is really getting the reward for approximately 60 days total of difficult/absurd attendance.

Logweasel:
I dunno, I know I am 24 and the insurance on my Vette isnt that bad. Its like $440 every six months. But damn, 18 and a Viper. Probably $700-$1000 per 6, LO-friggin-L

I would pick the most expensive car I could think of, sell it, buy a cheaper car, and spend the rest of the money on booze and whores.

How about the Batmobile...then he could go fast AND blow stuff up.

Where do I sign up? Oh, wait... I'm in college. And everybody knows that perfect attendance in college is an illusion.

Djrezin8: OMG! Who insures you?

Allstate... I'm looking for a pic of it right now

Sorry son, I said "Toy Yoda"

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Funny as hell.

i'd say a mclarin f-1

My Mom said "you can pick any of hooker you want"

I used to work with this dick who insisted on coming to work every day no matter how disgustingly sick he was. That sure wasn't doing any of the rest of us any favors. I'd have much rather done my work as well as his just to keep from catching what ever he had.

"There have been quite a few times that he went to school when he should not have gone to school"

Give this woman a freaking MOTHER OF THE YEAR award. "I know you are near death and highly infectious, and it is snowing, but I'll driev you to school today, honey. I'm so proud of your perfect attendance record."

The article actually praises her for getting her kid under control... my ass. He'll grow up to be pissed off when someone doesn't give him what he wants, even though he has been good.

The reward for being good should be not getting the punishment for being bad. ;-)

Which he will drive to work every day, for the rest of his life. To the brick factory.

And someday, God willing, he shall be promoted to Head of Clays & Granule Inserts.

Then marry an assistant teller at Wells Fargo who will, come the dissolution settlement hearings, get the aforementioned Viper and all his furniture in a transmutation of property agreement.

After which she will crash it into a wall while fresh from a gal-pal pleasure party, high on poppers and Michelob light, disfiguring herself tragically.

The phone in his one room studio apartment above the Norweigian restaurant will ring soon afterwards and he'll find himself torn between taking her back, even without a nose, or telling her she ruined his life by screwing the Schwann's delivery guy.

Suddenly, it will all make sense to him and he'll begin to laugh and laugh and laugh..

And the Viper? It will return to him as well, but only as a recycled John Deere lawn tractor which he will ride over her backyard grave, waving to the neighbors who think he's just the nicest, if dullest, guy, on the block.

"...for his critically acclaimed role as Grandpa in the production of "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."

WTFark...did anyone else spit their Tab all over their moniter when they read this?

5 bucks says he is a closet-case and pulling the dudes with whatever car he picks once he gets to college!

Time to ride home on my 10-speed!

TheWorldHatesPaul

Ah, screw the Viper. It's completely impractical and sucks gas like mad. Forget the insurance, that's just icing on the rather overkill cake. What the kid should get would be an Infiniti Q45. Now THAT is a sweet car. 330 horse, leather, power everything, in-car navigation system... Sure, the insurance and gas would suck on that too, but imagine the chicks you could get with something like that? More than with the Viper, and you'd even have someplace to -put- more than one at a time.

He hasnt picked his choice of car yet. must,,,,,,,,,,,,read,,,,,,,entire,,,,,,article.

Story doesn't mention the tacticts his mom used that past two years to weasle out of the deal. Sleeping pills in his malt-o-meal. Nailing his bedroom door shut. Ex-Lax overdoses... what a kid...

Mom minds loophole in contract:

$440 per 6 months for a corvette? Damn dude, where do you live?

That's where that hugh chickenpox epidemic came from.
Here son, you can have your new Viper but forget about college...I spent it on your car and the rehab I went through when you were in first grade.

Your 6 Month quote is $7,285.50

From http://www.progressive.com

18 year old, 2003 Viper RT, my state minimums (Texas) as far as coverage goes.

see if more parents would motiovate there kids like that the public school systems might actually work

Tomorrow's headline: Idiot kid kills himself with muscle car idiot mother buys.

shiat. I got a Renault Le Car for my first beauty. Rolled it over 6 days later. Didn't miss any school because of it though.

x-caliber

I can hear this guy talking to his kids already...I never missed a day of school my entire life....of course he will be smart enough to leave out the part about the viper...

The purchase price is just the beginning of the fun when you own a viper... California registration is over $1000 per year (based on car's value), insurance is better than $2500/year, tires run about $450 each, an oil change will set you back $125. They should just put a slot in the
dash that you can feed $20 bills into while you drive.
It's a sweet car, but the kid should get something more practical. On the other hand, there's nothing like it for
getting some attention. Oh yeah, you can't drive it in a
parking garage either, unless you like the sound of all
the other car's alarms going off.

...and?

Before I even read the article, I thought to myself... "90% of anything is just showing up"...then I remembered it was a woody allen quote and started laughing

then I read the article....holy jeebus.


"One lunch hour during middle school, his mother was called to take him home because he had been throwing up in every class. Over her objections, he returned in time for afternoon classes, where he continued to throw up."

HOLY farkING JEBUS...WHAT THE HELL?...WHAT THE HELL?...I QUIT LIFE...THIS IS THE DUMBEST THING EVER...WAY TO GO LADY...YOU'RE A farkING LOONY BIN.
