Since I own a Dodge Viper, this news immediately caught my attention. A red and white Dodge Viper GTS lost control and hit a fire hydrant during rush hour traffic in Addison, Ill. The car flipped over, and leveled off the fire hydrant, causing water to gush everywhere. Luckily the driver managed to get out of the car uninjured. Sounds like a scene from an action movie, huh?
The Viper forums had a couple of notable quotes in response to the accident that made me chuckle:
I guess this is not the best way to get a “free car wash”.
I wonder if that hydrant was loaded with Mr. Clean Auto Dry…
Ebay Listing: Clean Title, Florida car, never seen rain!
Well, thats one way to wash the underbody
There are two videos that I found, the first one is a news report by a CBS affiliate. This video is the best, but can only be played on their site.
The other you can watch here:

Although the Viper is a great car, they also make great Dodge trucks. They look best when coupled with the newest truck accessories and truck bed covers. People also seem to like chrome accessories to make their truck shine! Read all about trucks today.

I like those quotes from the Viper forums, lol.
