    This is sure to be a rare one...

    I love the color! It looks very much like the F9 green (Dark Green Metallic) on my 1966 Barracuda. I like the blacked out hood. Nice!! In case you didn't know, the 66 cuda is on the left... MEL

    Can't get my dealer to work on my viper

    Thanks everyone for the ideas and info. I did call chuck and he ran my vin and the shocks are not covered by dodge. I do appreciate all the info he did give me on my car and its history. I plan to remove the shocks myself and am no looking for a good set of jackstands I'll fill...

    Can't get my dealer to work on my viper

    To get to the how to articles, is there an additional level of membership I need? The link says I do not have permission. @Big Brake Dave: I will assume that means it is easier? Thanks again for the info MEL

    Can't get my dealer to work on my viper

    Yeah, I don't really blame the dealer either. I figured it was a significant job to remove the shocks, it appears I was wrong. Is there a "how to" somewhere on the site? I did a forums search but did not come back with any sort of a how to. I would prefer to just do it myself if it is doable in...

    Can't get my dealer to work on my viper

    I'm not sure if I'm upset yet or not... but here is an odd story, especially in todays economy when I thought that dodge dealers would be willing to take on work. Okay, I have a 2001 Dodge Viper ACR with 4 leaky shocks that need to be rebuilt. I have contacted the folks to rebuild them and...

    Stored my car....life now *****!

    My 01 ACR has been in bed for about 2 weeks as well. We had a fairly long fall in this part of Montana so I actually got to drive it in November. Then we spent some quality time cleaning and polishing getting ready to put her to bed... now she sits, quietly waiting until spring. Here is to...

    Real Road Performance Requires Real Road....uhhh Performance

    I was driving our 01 ACR yesterday down a 4 lane country highway here in montana and there was a sheriff up ahead. The speed limit was 70 and I kept it right at 70, he was doing about 65... I slowed to 68 and slowly went by him, he just looked over, smiled and gave me the head nod. I'm pretty...

    Those of you with kids....

    I don't have much to add that has not already been said. I have 4 kids, 3 girls and a boy. They all love the car and it is a treat and privilege to ride in it and it is a great way to spend some one on one time with the kids. The picture below says it all: Economy in these cars is...

    Post your going home pics

    Yep, it must have been you guys! What I thought was black, I must have mistaken your Sapphire (please forgive me! :)) I never see any other vipers in MT so I was quite surprised, as was the wife and kids, and excited to see some other snakes on the road!! MT is a good state for viper driving...
