Pamela pawns her Dodge Viper for PETA

If you consider yourself the kind of person who loves animals, perhaps you are a member of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). Maybe that love of animals even extends to snakes, but how about Vipers? Well, if you like PETA and love Dodge supercars, this upcoming auction might be up your alley. Scheduled to go across the block at Julien's Auctions' Summer Entertainment Sale of Hollywood memorabilia, this 2000 Viper RT/10 still sports its original unmolested 8.0L V-10 and only 14,000 miles on the clock. It also happens to be owned by a prominent celebrity who is also a member of PETA. That celebrity would be Pamela Anderson. Wowaweehwah.
Besides belonging to the Baywatch beauty, this Viper is said to get some of its own screen time in Anderson's upcoming E! series, "Pam: Girl on the Loose." The sale will take place June 21 and 22 at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas and will be broadcast on Auction Network. Apparently Pam is such a fan of PETA that she is donating a good portion of the proceeds from the sale to the cause. Expected gavel price is in the range of $30,000 to $50,000. If for some reason you aren't interested in the car, according to this item at Ace Showbiz, other auction items include Alfred Hitchcock's driver's license, candid photos of Marilyn Monroe and Sammy Davis, Jr., and an original "Ben Hur" script signed by Charlton Heston. Looks like something for everyone, but we'll stick with the car. Thanks for the tip, Nate!

I just cooked a delicious Frenched Rack of Lamb last night. After that I walked outside and kicked a stray cat.

She's from Canada, so she probably started on something small and Japanese

I understand her Viper has a great leather interior (oops!).

I was thinking the same thing. For being a prominent PETA person she shouldn't have a car with leather interior. Shows something about the consistency of her conviction.

Own a 2001 same car, should bring 50k no problem. Being celebrity owned might put it past 50K.
Anyway, its a damn shame that PETA does not understand that while many of us are animal lovers, their agenda is over the top. Man has used animals since the beginning of time for food and clothing, and animals kill each other for the same reason. What sucks, as one example, is when you see places that slaughter animals cruely so all these fat asses can have their McDonalds and KFC for cheap. I support ASPCA instead myself.

Micky-D's and most other fast-food chains use mostly dried-up dairy cows, that's why they're so cheap.

Really, who fed you that? You actually believe that. Pretty funny. Read the book Fast Food Nation, then come back here. There are dozens of independant tests showing that there is feces in their fries and the meat itself. That is done due to speedy lines. If you actually think that you get 99 cent hamburgers from quality butchers, you sir are mistaken. Fast food joints have killed off the American butcher for speedy assembly lines, many manned by illegals. Look into with an open mind and you will see how it is so cheap. Freeze dried, lol, give you credit for originality.

Only because it's PETA and someone is feeling good about the donation. Pamela A. doesn't have the celebrity power to raise the value of a car just because she owned it. Now an autographed copy of one of her se*x tapes, now that's a different story... ;-)

man, they have her so effin brainwashed....not that she had much of one to wash in the first place. PETA is a terrorist cult.

So she's selling her car to pay a five-figure sum to an organization that has been confirmed to financially support domestic terrorists.
Can we just arrest her now?

you sure about that claim??? never heard such a thing.
next time you make such a statement you should put links to support it!

How could a peta person own a car with leather seats and trim? I am sure there are many more animal derived products in that car as well. DuPont uses animal deriviatives all the time in formulating plastics and fibers.
What a hypocrite

PETA is a disgusting organization. They should be on the FBI terrorist watch list.

Funny how nothing seems to upset people more than telling them what they can eat and what they can drive.

Dictating the choices of an individual should be upseting. One should be free to as they please as long as the liberty of another person is not infringed.
