- Casey (@caseyputsch) dreamt of owning a Viper but once he got it, the other residents of his small town did not take kindly to his driving habits. He left town and hasn't looked back but this Dodge Viper's story was not over.

When your wife tells you, “Go buy that viper.” You know she’s a keeper 💯💯
Ben Rosen ya so that way the viper slithers away 🤣😂. 😯
I shed a tear when he said that!!
Never knew there were girls who would understand, lucky guy, she is "a Keeper "
@Ben Rosen no cause then she’s gunna want a family vehicle “sell the viper and get a new suburban”
Or a gold digger
"It's December, those Pirellis weren't going to grab."
*cue Michelin ad*
😂
He was actually on michelins, you can see it on the pictures @ 9:33
Lemme plug Michelin real quick. I work maintenance at Michelin and the guys who make your tires are doing a fantastic job
Lmfaoo
LOL so right... I got that too
You know how snakes hiss to warn you of danger? Yeah, I think the Viper blaring Death Metal at you was a sign to come!!
yes lol
hell yeah viper gang
You've got a point
@Bladed Angel
lol you are huge now LMFAO
Hi bladed angel
This dude rocks at telling stories
Seriously this was great.
Indeed lol. A great car story...
This guy sucks! He seriously is a closet raging homosexual!
@@mromatic17 it seems to me you are probably the one in the closet
I bet he has never changed a spark plug. Listen to him, " I called the insurance company.........blah blah, I have a good plan". Spoiled arse hole, never had a job
The way he described his drive to work was truly mesmerizing
There's a twisty road like he explained in my old home town that I could explain in the same detail, he made me remember it. That's something every car guy should have!
I agree and have a road like that... we call it "the long way home" dosent matter the car its just fun to drive period ;)
lol, I don't know about that. I got so into it I got pulled over doing 150kmh in a 60 zone.
Robinson Joe That sucks
It's ok, suffice it to say that sometimes not knowing how to fix your dash lights can come in handy.
Who else liked the white wheels better than the gold ones?
He'd look good with gold teeth driving that car playing mumble rap real loud. Maybe throw in a couple of face tattoos and some baby mama drama....
Seems like it turned into a Viperu GT-STI with the Blue with Gold...
The white wheels go with the car s ik nce it has a white stripe so it blends nicely compared to the gold. I like the white ones though
But then he'd need the Xanax habit that goes with the face tats. Hard to drive a high horsepower car that zoned out.
John Lewis yeah thats a bummer... cant even drive the viper too wasted
He said "it's just a viper, there's other fish in the sea" I wish I had that problem rn.
haha right? i was like damn dude... must be nice...
DanTheBavarian I think he meant more it’s just a car and he was alive
Then get yo cheese up tf pussy
Bobby William you are the coolest person I ever met
@@caramelhuman7300 Thanks for the advice. My cheese in now many. 🙏
*"STUPID!"*
I feel that
Diax1324 imagine if the other person didn’t have insurance on oof double stupid

When someone backed into my car and ripped the bumper off I used a Verizon of stupid
Cars that makes dads bothered are always a great idea.
Id be the dad.. that says.. LEAN ON IT...
POUND THE SHIT OUT OF THAT FUCKER... RIDE THE DAMN THING!!!!
I don't think I could buy a performance car that would bother my dad, then again he bought a 16 year old a 1970 Chevelle SS396. 25 years later I'm still alive and I still have it!
Ikr, its easy to make a mom bothered by driving a mustang or something, but dads, especially car dads.....well ur in for a fun ride
@really dude
Yes...
I am a sick, horrible human being.. and every vehicle.. Ive owned has managed to keep my ticket cost high and ins cost skyrocketing.
And nothing... Ive had even whispers performance.
RIDE THE SHIT OUT OF IT.. TILL SOMEONE SCREAMS.. DAMN BITCH!!!!
Even better: Dad's that tell you not to floor it on your fast car because it's dangerous, but do so behind your back.
I like this guy. He can tell a story.
probably the best gearhead i've seen :D
agreed
Thank you! I was honored to be on VinWiki with Ed.
Gus Kipper IKR this guy needs to be featured more
Yes. He almost make me believe his dad did not paid for this car :D
Congratulations to Casey for reaching the million view club. Glad the Viper is still part of your family.
💯~💯
@@Beamerboy187 spotted on 270 and 670!!! Seen the viper many times in Columbus
Daily driven Viper with a Le Mans GTS-R style front bumper? epic.
He did a front bumper delete
Axtra ha
An improvement in my mind. :-)
Lol everybody who has ever drove a sports car in their life has done a front bumper delete at least once that's how you learn
Weight reduction
Joseph Atnip welp not me yet
The guy who fixed the car and sold it back to you is the true hero
Now that's the best comment I read so far... I think I said it before earlier ...what a douchebag
SMN BOYO ya he is he even reached out to the original owner
Ikr!
As a fellow "keeper of things" I distinctly appreciate your attachment to that car. Also, any time your s.o. straight tells you to buy a supercar, you're winning at life.
Yeah, lol I live in a small enough town that challengers are even considered exotic. like even the cops think they are cool because the production challenger even with a v6 has more horsepower and torque than the cop cars by about 50 hp. so they are easily impressed lol.
Your wife should never tell you what to buy or not buy.
My wife got sick of me talking about Aston’s, she told me to buy one. Still looking for THE right car.
Great story.
Bobert Beaubert you made the money buy whatever you want. Some of you guys act like little kids. Gotta ask momma for everything.
Alex 10,000 it’s not about who made the money. It’s about respect and responsibility. I haven’t been able to justify spending that kind of money on a toy.....yet. We have two kids, two Mortgages and fiscal obligations.
It’s nothing like asking mommy for money. 🙄
I SAW HIM YESTERDAY AT THE CAR SHOW I WENT TO AND IT WAS IN THE SAME CAR and he has the same plates same wheels and everything still
Glad to see everything is going good!
I admire his restraint after that car wreck. The surge of rage you feel when someone wrecks the car you love is unmatched. I'm glad it managed to be saved. Some people aren't so fortunate.
I couldn't upvote hard enough. Casey, you can really tell a story. You are up there with Rabbit and Ed.
This is Logan Paul he has 2000 Heath.

"All that came out of my mouth was, 'STUPID!'" Easily one of the greatest lines in VinWiki history. 9:50
Jim Carrey aa fuck haha
Meh
I was driving a blue white and neon yellow taxi coming back from a fare. It was a 4 lane road and there was a little red ricer in front of me about 6 car lengths on my left. We were coming to an intersection where it was a court of apartment buildings on one side and a plaza on the other with a plaza entrance on the right from my perspective. As the little red car goes through the intersection a little blue car turns right in front of me. Same thing, I seen it coming and knew we were going to hit. I cranked the wheel as hard as I could and tried to swing the ass a little so the front might just make it by but i knew it was a long shot. No dice. I took the whole front end off her car. I almost made it as evidenced by the fact that it drove any of the quarter panel that wasn't embedded in the tire into my door jam. I went up the curb and the car came to a stop less than a foot from a cement light post. I tried unsuccessfully to open the driver door and was so mad that when it didn't open I kicked the door hard enough to bend it open so I could get out. I walked onto the road and I have no idea what my face looked but I screamed at her, "what the (expletive) were you doing!" With the most terrified look I've ever seen from another driver she replied, "I didn't see you." With disbelief I looked at my wrecked rolling advertisement and then back at her and screamed back, "They can see me from space!"
Ahahaha, nice on Rob.
I don't care what anybody thinks. To me, the 1997 Viper GTS Coupe with Blue and White stripes is the most beautiful thing on four wheels. It was my dream car back then, and it's my dream car now!
I think it looks best in bright "arrest-me officer red." True, it'll catch every cop's attention but it'll look great!
My dream car, too. Couldn’t agree more.
Love the viper but adore the batshit crazy Lamborghini countach
I love silver w grey stripes but this particular car is gorgeous
I have a poster of a 96 blue with white stripes in my garage. I will have one one day
3:45 - 4:25 THAT´S how you describe a commute!
I do it myself and had to listen to it 3 times, just enjoying that carguy way of talking. Greatly done.
It was a thing of beauty listening to that
"And its a Viper everyones going to think I screwed up"
No lie, i actually thought that too at first haha
If you look at the viper skid marks, he was still on the inside lane when he slammed on the brakes. Thats contrary to version he narrates. Easily 50 feet of rubber tracks on the street. Going 45-50 mph?
Summer rubber on a RWD vehical in ohio where sub 0 days arent uncommen in decemeber.
Like i live in ohio and i still get sketched taking my Jaguar out in that cold.
Hell on $2,000 in tires the thing will spin or skid at 30mph.
I dont drive it in the city when its that cold for that reason
Finally, another viper owner helping debunk the myths about vipers. I have an 01 ACR and they really are great cars that are reliable and easy to work on. I’ve been trying to enlighten car enthusiasts on my channel about Vipers.
I worked on them. I'm a little biased against them. But to each their own.
Not going to argue that, all cars have issues. But overall for such a high-performance car it has relatively low maintenance cost compared to European and Japanese car in its class. Some years had issues with head gaskets, radiators, fuel tanks, but most of the problems were relatively minor and could be fixed in your garage if you were decently mechanically inclined. On top of that most of the parts are cheap and easy to get being that it was sort of a parts bin car.
I love your channel ❤️
Im looking to buy one myself
Most of the myths about Vipers come from video games, where rear drive high powered cars are nearly impossible to drive due to gamepad physics. Most of the people who say those things have never actually driven a high powered rear drive car in real life, or even any real car in real life, let alone a Viper. The rest of the myths come from professional reviewers, who hold every car to an impossible standard. Caveat: I have never driven a Viper.
White rims = YES | Gold rims = NO
I liked both
Depends.
Actually gold rims look good on a Subaru wrx

@@mistabionerd8813 oh please. What was prejudice about his comment? It’s a speculation it was mixed race. I’ll PayPal you 100$ (not kidding) if you can explain the prejudice with his comment.
Also, "not very athletic"
Misaka -Railgun- Mikoto the ace of Tokiwadai wow a racist weeb how shocking
I grew up with my grandfather owning a 94 viper RT/10. What an awesome car to drive around. You could not drive 2 miles down the road without someone stopping to stare at it in awe. I believe most of the reason I’m into cars today is because of that car.
its automatically your fault if youre in a Viper or Mustang
Basically any sports cars and if you are young xD
Not just that, if your in a charger, challenger, camero or if u are a young male, it is automatically your fault because you were “doing something wrong” no matter what, hence the reason I bought a dash camera.
@@noneyabusiness7053 Thats why you need to get a dashcam!
Lol mustang? U mean viper or Vette. Lol mustangs are still a thing??
+Yea Right,lol yes, lol mustangs lol are lol still lol a lol thing lol.
The crash sucks, but pretty much everything else about that story is awesome--your future wife telling you you should buy it back, getting some therapy by working on it. I feel the same way about mine more and more
"young and cockey" ... with a popped Polo collar and family golf business? nah....
Doooouuuuucher lol
*cocky
Lol haters gonna hate
His family golf course is just a small country course in between corn fields not a country club or high end course by any means.
He wasn’t hating it’s just a stereotype. I would be laughing even more if he then went on to join a fraternity.
I won’t lie I shed a tear. Beautiful story
fuck you nigga
Fuck off Bill! I feels you Travis ✊🏽. This video was heart felt and awesome
Wtf?... why?
When??
@@eazywisdom5904 buh.... "Travis" is using a racial epithet to describe "Bill" and saying "fuck you" to him.
Just thought you should know.
Travis is a racist.

"very small midwestern town of 18,000 people"
I'm in rural NY and where I live that's called a city lol
Maybe it was spread over a huge area?
OkamsRazer The population of a city is between 100,000 and 300,000 people. Large town - a large town has a population of 20,000 to 100,000. Town - a town has a population of 1,000 to 20,000. Village - a village is a human settlement or community that is larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town.
Thanks internet! My TOWN is also 18,000 people. Lol
I’ve never referred to it as a city.
OkamsRazer right...I was in agreement with you. My cut and pasted wiki info was also in agreement with you.
Or do you just like to debate for the sake of it? Lol
OkamsRazer oh hell yeah! 😁
goddamn you nerds really got worked up over a throwaway comment on a youtube vid
A man who understands the draw of a Viper! Great story Glad you got your car back. Viper on- There is no other car like it.
A kid from the cornfields? With a golf course
Welcome to Ohio
brenics77 he's not the one who owns the golf course. His parents own it. Big difference.
Echo you missed the point.
you did too, not every rich parent spoils the fuck out of their kid. Some do, some make them earn every penny.
Echo i like the story and I don’t want it to be a negative post but a guy with a can am race car and a viper in his early 20’s has probably not earned it in Mc D’s. Good luck to him though as it’s his money and life 👍
As many times as he reminds us this was in his “20s” his hair line is telling me an entirely different story...
Genetic baldness can happen as early as 18 my dude.
I have a 21 year old friend who's half bald, He's trying to do the "comb over" and we all just laugh at him, so he wears a hat 24/7 now.
TheTwitterpatedlove I have shaved my head twice a week for the past 19 years now, because the combing is not fooling anyone. And who gives a shit about someone else's hairline?
It was only because he was always fiddling with it that we messed with him.
Some of us that shit early though.
"STUPID!" & "You can't keep a good man down, you can't keep a good car down."
I think this guy is my spirit animal.
Fun fact: Viper radio was same in the dodge caravan
MrMerk1991 you mean your dodge caravan had a viper radio ;)
This video could resurrect viper production
Bad things come to an end too
I SAW THAT CRASH WHILE I WAS IN CHIPOTLE
what were you eating.... when the car struck
He was eating this dink
TheCj get any guac with that nut?
I live right down the street from where the crash happened I freaked when I saw it was in my town lol
Devin Perez you know that’s a dollar extra right?
Great story Casey. I'm a life-long resident of the Columbus vicinity myself, and I've always said central Ohio has a very underrated car scene. Definitely not a city that comes to mind when most speak about the car enthusiast scene. You're a also a great story teller, very entertaining to listen to. I know the exact spot your wreck happened too.
Ngl if i hopped in a viper playing thrash,
*id leave it on for ambiance*
What else would you listen to In a car with a reputation for wanting to kill the driver?!
Every Dodge Viper has to come included with a powerman 5000 album now.
The first ones had a radio which became louder as you went faster... so how fast was he hammering it on the track?
GOOSE!!!!! Ladies love nice cars. Its a proven fact. Great Story!
Rob Pitts I'm sure you have many more stories about women to tell that we'd all like to hear with hopefully better endings than the bike
Hey Rob :)
There was just something about this Viper. It was the craziest thing.
not really true at all
agreed, it isn't about the car it is about what the car represents. I'm sure there are women out there that actually do love cars but i have never met one. I haven't even met a woman that can tell me what car my Lotus Evora is, half time they dont even realise its a Lotus even though it has Lotus written on it.
This guy can tell a story about the most mundane thing but his style makes it fascinating.
Good storyteller.
MOPAR or no car. Bad ass Viper. You've got great taste!
Land Rover all day baby.
HUH, MOPAR? Never graduated the 60s, did you? Nobody uses that term anymore.
@@esteemedenergy, Mopar is still a thing.
GetoverYourself lol, I hear it all the time, from people from every facet of car culture.
Was half expecting to see Doug Demuro.
Kid from the corn field. You mean golf course...
Devon Aragon he definitely meant golf course lol
I love, loved, loved this story! And when his fiancé/wife said “That’s your car, it’s your baby.” That’s when he had my heart. Great story teller!
One of the better VinWikis! So many of us regret getting rid of significant cars in our lives.
Early Vipers are the only cars with worse panel gaps than the Tesla Model 3.
You forgot the Maserati GranTurismo. The "other Doug," did a review video on one, and those panel gaps were so bad, he could fit a tube of toothpaste between them.
At least the Viper has a real engine. Batteries are for toys. And starters...
Fiberglass though no dings!
And twenty years older, but who cares
Who cares about panel gaps!!!
Its got a 10g fiberglass hood!
Its got a body that can burn you.
IT WANTS TO KILL YOU...
BUT YOU AINT GONNA DO IT TODAY FUCKER!!!
Fuck the model 3
FUCK TESLA...
A VIPER... is where its at!!
World's first million-mile viper. I wanna see that.
it' 8.0L 450hp, pretty understressed. i bet it will go a million miles if it is well maintained, the transmission might even die earlier but being a Tremec should make it easily replaceable.
Did anybody else notice the perfectly executed finger rage walk performed by Casey? Legend.
You totally have me wanting a Viper now!! That was my dream car when I was a kid. I remember the first time a saw one in Traverse City, MI in about 1991 or 92. I instantly fell in love with it.
I've had a Gen 2 Viper, I have no clue why people say they are hard to drive. Work just fine for me. Just don't drive like a moron.
They're not hard to drive if you drive it like a grandma, obviously. But if you track the car and actually push it to its limits like it was made to do, then it's hard to drive.
I disagree, i raced the piss out of mine and never crashed once.
Just because you're good doesn't mean it's not difficult.
@@GearheadDaily good for you and I truly mean that in an respectfull way. I have seen a couple of owners drive it on the track and really struggle with the car.
@Ace - I don't really consider myself that great of a driver, just more controlled with the throttle, brake and steering wheel.
While I'm NOT a Viper fan, I had to give this video thumbs up. Firstly because it's great to see a fellow Ohioan and second because I know EXACTLY the spot where he had his wreck. Even in the middle of the night, Sawmill Road can be an extremely dangerous spot.During the day everyone drives like it's demolition derby and at night, everybody thinks it's an escape route after blasting on Columbus's version of the Autobahn, Rt.315 and I-270.
PREACH. I saw a lot of crap when I worked at the target on Sawmill.
can second that. but I can say it's much better then the late night drivers on Sunbury Rd
Yep I used to have a place off sawmill and 161 area
That's up in Powell. 3-4 miles outside of 270.
I grew up loving those. A blue with white stripes viper used to drive by our football practice field everyday in 96-97. The whole team would stop and watch it go by lol
Love this channel. This was one of the top videos I have seen on VinWiki besides anything by Ed. Lol.
Best Channel On TH-cam By So Far
Give petrolicious some views
Who is "So Far"?
No by far but SOOOO far its way better
It's like the second coming of Christ only with more cars!!!
Who else grew up absolutely idolizing the Gen.2 Viper? It's the perfect poster car for anyone born in the mid 90s. I'm 21, and I will own a silver and black striped GTS one day.
Born 1984 and had a Lamborghini Countach poster.
Great story! Even Greater car!
Ever greater Wife said "that car is you, go buy it"
Super awesome story. Thanks for sharing!
Do a shot every time he says me in my 20s.
cdude100 my liver stopped working
He's a twat
cdude100 and when he says I’m a race car driver:!!
Don't forget every time he says "give me a break" although you can substitute a kit kat for a shot
Clearly this guy is nervous.
My favorite variation was the white wheels with the Daytona style wing
Hell yeah looks very Similar to my 2012 5.0 that has same dark blue with thick white racing stripes and white svt wheels that look very similar to his. Super clean. Love it
Love the "can't keep a good car down" theme. Have a similar sentiment with my first Civic (which isn't a Viper, by any means, but it's still mine)
THAT IS ONE GREAT STORY MAN. HAPPY I WATCHED THE WHOLE VIDEO. NICE. ALWAYS REMEMBER, "KEEP MOVING FORWARD."
Thanks for all the videos and stories I've been really sick and this helps me put my mind else where and I know nothing about cars, so you're doing something special.Thank you
We hope you feel better fast!
@@VINwiki thank so you much! I wish you and everyone you know nothing but happiness health and success.
Aww a bond between a man and his car is something special
i love these videos! This story really touched my heart. I can understand all the hardwork and sweat and passion that went into his car. So glad you manage to get your viper back
Absolutely love these stories. So good
Dude got big balls. I heard the old Gen viper is a handful.
First gen was supposed to be a pure track car. Didn't even have ac if I remember correctly.
Bro. Nelson's Ledges is in Nelson Ohio. I lived 7 miles from that damn track. Loud as hell when they do the 24 hour SRT testing every year.
Great story. You managed to tell it without sounding pretentious. On the contrary, sounded authentic.
That was a great story. Keep the viper man
Both the car AND your fiancee are keepers 😉
anybody gonna mention how perfect those downshift noises he made were hahahaha
I read your comment at the exact moment he made them haha
That was a great video..I really enjoyed hearing that story.
Great story thank you for sharing it.
I wish I had that blue viper...my childhood OMG in the 90s I was obsessed when I saw one! 2018 I'll still drive that baby all over!
This is the second time I'm saying this thank you for making a post that is not a jealous talkingshit one because you couldn't have the car but you're actually telling how everybody feels instead of acting like a tough guy calling him a douchebag or whatever I just want to say that that's respectable individual move for you to do that I'm talking about you a hundred percent thank you man I like to see this still some people worth reading their comments in TH-cam cuz 9099 out of 9000 million times out of let's say out of 10 post's are straight garbage this was something that I actually enjoyed
when i saw the Viper GTS pace car edition in a Road & Track magazine back in the 90s, the Viper became my most favorite car of all time. And that specific magazine issue had articles about Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Porsches, but i fell in love with the Viper above all else.
This guy needs to be on here more often, great story
I like your way of telling stories. I was so immersed in your story I felt I was the one in the story. Keep making stories man. I subscribed just cas of this awesome story.
Goood video Casey. Thanks Ed for providing a wonderful platform.
Dude is a good teller of stories. Very entertaining!!!
Good morning guys :) lmao "Stupid!" I like this guy
the end made me happy because he saved a piece of art (;
Might have to sub, that was a good story
So this is the guy who got the reliable Viper! (Great story). I love the look of the Vipers but I like the everyday drivability of Corvettes more.
My Dad is bothered by my LS E30, so I guess I'm doing something right lol
I love this channel and all these great stories thank you for sharing
The best car story ive herd in a while
Oh damn did it again... If ya ain't first yer last!!
Like this guy, more stories from him!
Casey and Ed are probably the two best people on VINWiki
I've seen this exact car on my way home from work every few weeks, and around town. Every time I see It I have to take a moment to just look at it. The viper is my all time favorite car and just looking at it makes any bad day better. It's cool knowing the history of that car now too. I never thought I'd know anything about it.
Holy moly, a 16 year old *MOTHER* ?
Welcome to America.
They've glorified it so it's the thing to do
Ethnic...
A girl from around here had a kid at 13 about 6 months ago.
Gobbersmack proof?
This is a wonderful story, and I'm happy I listened.
It's crazy I always skipped by you guys videos, and just happened to take a look at this one and one other now I cant take my eyes off. The stories are so intriguing.
Good for you man Thanks for sharing
Always loved how vipers look. Every time i see one, i dream of being able to just sit in one. Always stare at them whenever one drives by.
That was a nice story, 10/10
I like stories of people who actually DRIVE these cars and aren’t afraid of putting miles on them.
Sometimes you find gems like this on TH-cam. Great story!
