Viper

1. One of the fastest production cars built. Not too well-mannered, but the ultimate sports car nonetheless.

2. Oh, yeah...an Old World snake with a thick, heavy body, and a pair of hollow fangs; adder.

"That guy's Viper is a real Corvette killer."

Chevy

Acronym for: Can Hear Every Valve Yell.
Mostly unreliable. Can be found up on blocks anywhere.

A lot of people lease their Chevys. That way they'll get the two years of useful life from it, and not pay the tremendous repair bills.

assault weapon

An amorphous term coined by those who support gun control. Applied to semi-automatic weapons that cosmetically resemble fully automatic firearms.

When gun manufacturers began making these so-called assault weapons without the things that made them look menacing, the gun grabbers cried that a "loophole" was found. Well, duh...they would be the last to see that the changes were cosmetic in nature.
