Default More cross-branding nonsense: Hennessey Venom Viper... Neiman Marcus Edition?

I don't know what Neiman Marcus is, but I've had one of their liquor cakes before. ...So I'll assume that it's a bakery place.

Just kidding. I know what it is.
They've done Quattroportes and M6's, but a Viper? Not just a Viper, but a Hennesey Venom? Someone's had too many of those cakes.


$179,500 is too much, but it would make a nice "sorry-for-sleeping-with-the-pool-boy" present for some trophy husband.

They did a lexus IF and a BMW M6 as well, but a hennessey viper makes zero sense. They are a very high end fashion store that sells a $40,000 purse. i can see it makin a bit of sense with a merc CL or a Audi A8, but not a race viper.
