The viper was a poorly made, uncomfortable, weird car with some stupid and inconvenient design choices. It was also not very reliable, used way too much fuel, and had serious safety issues. I think it’s a perfect analogy for windows.
The viper was all engine and least amount of car build to Chryslers budget. And it wasn’t really that bad reliability vise as it uses a big lowstrung pushrod engine, a manual transmission and no electronics to speak of. And yes it uses a lot of fuel, just like any other 400hp engine of that time. The only thing they share is the bad build quality, but for different reasons, Chrysler being broke while railing coke of a hookers ass and windows because of enshittification. Newer vipers er largely the same but with marginally better safety.

This is all true with the addition that the Viper looks fucking sick even with those issues. Windows just looks lame no matter what.
First edition vipers didn’t even have door handles on the outside since the concept car on which it was
copy-pastedbased on didn’t have them eitherThe viper was all engine and least amount of car build to Chryslers budget.
