"On a few occasions, the McClane's had taken her out to show her off in parades and she did go on a few short trips here and there, but she was mainly used as an attention-grabber to attract people to the dealership. "
I fail to see the utility of a vehicle that is not driven. There are lots of Vipers on the road in CA...indeed, probably most of them have been sold here.
I like oddball cars, but would never own one I didn't drive regularly. I have better places to put my money.

I wonder how many people entered that dealership because they saw the Viper out front, and bought some other vehicle as a result?

I drive a 2001 Corvette and have been known to put "rice rockets" in their place, but I probably wouldn't take on a Viper. The C6 'vette is alleged to be the Viper killer.

Why are they calling this car a "her"? Wouldn't it be called a Dodge Viperess if it was a female?

You do understand there are people who collect things, don't you?
