@Piper LT but it uses Jesus and satan as the same lion? What's your conclusion that the nkjv is by the Catholics? Were not going to argue scripture unless we argue what is the gospel and how to be saved
Piper LT

@Jesus Ochoa The Nkjv is a corruption of God's Word - Catholic corruption. The KJV is the true and real scriptures. All others are corrupt, Vatican-influenced, and not God's word.

Psalms 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom./inspiration+How much time do we spend on things that don’t truly matter? Stress, anxiety, worries, anger, sadness...is this how God intended us to wisely spend our time? Through faithful study, meditation, and acts of kindness, our insecurities and pain can be transformed into wisdom and love. /prayer+ I am here, my Lord. The time I have I want to spend with You. Forgive me for focusing on fleeting and useless thoughts and tasks. Each day is a chance for me to learn more and grow closer to You. Let the Holy Spirit flow with me this day and for all of my days, aiding me on a path to wisdom. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

I wouldn't call LFA a fail, the ones that still left for sale are maintained that way, so they can increase their value, sometimes to twice as much the original price.

The SS was not the first time Chevy blew with a naming convention. The Bel Air name was stuck on many different models across the years from 1950 through 1981. How many people remember that the thin silver lines on the rear panel swoosh meant the car was a Bel Air, not the run-of-the-mill 1957 Chevy? It often was a model of its own, but like the 1957 Chevy, the 1958 Impala had an upscale Bel Air model.

Yeah, the Viper was about to be born in Japan, on the day that FCA where to merge with Renault but if FCA where to merge with that French auto company called Renault, then the Viper will come out of an assembly line in Japan sharing the parts with the sibling called the Nissan GTR. The FCA/Renault merger will have the first Dodge Viper made outside the US, the first Dodge Viper made outside North America, the first Dodge Viper built in Asia, and the first Dodge Viper that is made in Japan.

For Viper its simple... it got from fairly affordable super car performance simple car without driver aids... to expensive , supercar like performance like car with electronic nanny watching your every move.... it got boring and expensive like any other high performance car these days. When you take x factor out of anything... that thing becomes not worth your time nor money. People will rather get 30 to 40k low mileage mid 90's Viper than new one that costs 150k to 200k I mean .. you could burn your leg on exhaust just from getting out from the car if you where dummy .. was an bit of an animal on rain with those huge tires and ancient suspension layout, but hey... weeded out the unskilled drivers who had no brains and more enthusiasm than skill with loud pedal.

Problem with the viper is they not only focused on the viper fans in their "advertisements" and they did not appeal to a broad market overall. In fact for the first year or so of the cars release, you couldn't even customize the car virtually on the dodge website. If you wanted to see what colors were available as a customer you had to look over a PDF file. Now if you wanted an "physical sample" you had to go to select dealerships to see the color pallet. I never owned a car that costs more than $40k but I imagine when you are buying something in the $100k neighborhood you would want the "ferrari" experience. As in if I look at a comparable GT car for any of the exotic car manufacturers and I look at yours, they should at least be on the same level (e.g., I want to customize the car online). Dodge got further screwed when GM unveiled the C7 Z06 which is why they cut the price to stay competitive but that stil didn't save them. Hell now customers had the option to buy a car which made similar HP in automatic and you could customize it online. This leads to my final point, the car was only offered stick and this was during an era where virtually everyone was reporting downturn in sales for stick cars. If I was Ralph Gilles (head of SRT), I would have marketed the dodge viper to everyone and i would have spent money making the customizing experience be flawless. Like in the unveiling they called in turn10 (maker of Forza motorsport) in the unveiling. Why not loop them in to help with the redesign the online customizing function of the dodge website for this car. Then i would have offered a V8 option and a V10 option with both stick and manual. Now I know the viper fans would have been upset by both of those things, but this would have allowed the car to come in at a lower price point and it would have allowed more adoption from a consumer point of view. Also i would have modernized the V10 a bit more, made it an aluminum block as a opposed to the literal same engine from the Gen 4. Now i know there was some hmm shall we say "restrictions" dodge had to deal with. For instance, Fiat owned dodge and ferrari and I know from close sources at the time that ferrari was concerned with the viper because it had the ability to make their F12 berlinetta look bad. Trade off was ferrari allowed dodge to use its interior design house for the styling of the dodge viper in exchange dodge stayed clear of ferrari's performance benchmark. Now this was never confirmed and am sure dodge would deny this but fi you think bout it it makes sense. With that said, take this last paragraph with a grain of salt, I dont know for certain but this is what i heard.
