    BUSTED

    I appreciate the sentiment, but a CNN comparison of taxes for someone with $75K income, $200K house, and $25K in savings (SWAG, but you referenced 10 year old data from a Massachusetts organization) isn't really representative for many hard working people. Also, the loss of freedoms in VA...

    BUSTED

    Interesting thread, can now add VA to the list of states I will never live in and seek to minimize spending in. You have to admit though that CA and NY are tough to beat as states to avoid at all costs if you care about keeping your money and freedoms. As the saying goes, "God bless Texas"...

    Is SSG worth all the BS?

    I too was just okay with the SSG from pictures, but then when we saw them in person at VOI in Detroit I was hooked. After that VOI I went in a hurried search for a SSG car, as they were only supposed to be produced for the one year at that time. The SSG gets more attention than I ever got in...

    Well this is not cool...

    Next time you a Vette like mine blows by you on the street or track, keep telling yourself you are superior based upon 'exclusivity'. That's some good stuff right there. I will keep that in mind. Although I don't get to the track like I once did, I don't recall ever being passed by a 'vette...

    Poll: Fogs or no fogs?

    I don't mind losing the fog lights, seems most people just run them 100% of the time anyway because they think it looks cool. If you think they are helping your vision and you are driving above 45 MPH, you need to stop and ponder where your vision is focused. Just MHO of course....:) :tx:

    Disappointed with the SRT staff at the NY auto show...

    Never always know... sometimes with small town dealers, they may rarely get a Viper and mark it up just to have it sit in the showroom to bring people into the Dodge / Chrysler / Fiat dealership, it is a halo car, nothing wrong with that if they can afford to let it sit to help them market their...

    Gen 4 prices going to drop like led bricks in 5 days

    ...besides, the Viper has always had traction control. To paraphrase the Grailkeeper; "The Viper does come with traction control, they're called your feet. Learn to use them." :tx:

    Gen III Wheels on my GEN II - Questions

    Thanks Vnum. The wheels are factory polished, just the way they came, and the car is stock suspension. I have never considered lowering it, I already hate hearing that scraping going into numerous driveways or turn 1 at TWS (not that I've been there for a while):)

    Gen III Wheels on my GEN II - Questions

    Yes, they are the same. Maybe the picture was taken right after taking off of jack stands for install (I don't really remember when picture taken), or maybe it is just angle and lighting. Here is different angle...

    Gen III Wheels on my GEN II - Questions

    ditto on the recommendation to consider gen IV wheels. The 6 spokes are much lighter and once were very reasonable ($1500/set). Haven't priced them lately.:tx:

    Anyone install the new Mygig head unit in a gen 3?

    I bought a my gig from an '08 Charger. Can't use it in my '05 SRT 10 Ram, my '07 Wrangler Rubicon or my '09 Viper. Willing to let it go for $500 plus shipping. Includes the uconnect mirror and lifetime sirius. Think you would have to add an antenna. PM sent.

    Anybody in OKC willing to check out a vehicle?

    funky, I found out today that the truck in OKC has sold. Thanks for asking about helping though.

    Anybody in OKC willing to check out a vehicle?

    I didn't get any replies so right now I am going based just on talking to a salesman while he walked around the truck and answered specific questions. I would still appreciate any help. The truck is at Bob Howard Chrysler Jeep Dodge.

    Anybody in OKC willing to check out a vehicle?

    I am wondering if there is anybody in Oklahoma City that would be willing and able to help me out with inspection of a Ram SRT10 at a dealer up there? I would feel a lot better talking money with them if someone had checked it out. Let me know if anyone wants to help out a Viper brother in TX...

    So what's the Story on the SRT 10 Ram Trucks ?

    I do have a Cummins, but it is in a 2002 QC long-bed with 6 speed. It is a towing machine and I will probably never get rid of it, but it is not so good for taking members of my team to meetings or to the club for lunch. Hence, the 4 door... Oh, and my Cummins only delivers 21 MPG in town and...
