The original Viper was crazy. It didn't have windows. It had a temp window thing you could pop in. It had zippers. Why? So that you could open the door because the car had no door handles. (www.youtube.com)

I'm not a car guy at all but I assume it's like Dodge made a kit car muscle car where 95+% of the design and planning was focused on the ginormous engine. And the car didn't follow any of the pesky [open air quotes] rules [close air quotes] of design and logic.

"Vilon" conspiracy theory

Elon used a disguise and time traveled back to the early 1990s and he was the guy who somehow convinced everybody at Dodge... "Nah. The car doesn't need door handles. It doesn't need windows. It doesn't need an internal handle to open the hood. [list continues]" That last one is covered at 6:22. I assume the list goes on and on. I've got ~20m left to watch. What an utterly wacky car.

They made a street legal go-kart and I love them for that.
