    Group buy for the 3M Clear Bra..more pics inside!!

    Hi, i'm interested as well. I'm going to repaint the front and i'd be interested in putting this on if it really helps against rock and stuff. I am considering a regular bra as well. What's peoples opinion on the clear bra? Does it hold up well? How much are we talking about? -Par

    VOI7 events

    Hi, i am very disturbed by the tone of these messages from the elected officials of the VCA. Shouldn't you as elected representatives of the VCA try to find alternatives for these members to participate (including helping them find ways to participate through paying)? Chastizing and belittling...

    Moderation is best when taken in moderation

    Jay, as a paying member of the VCA, i assume that i can get a transcript of all decisions the board of directors are making? Are transcripts or minutes of the board meetings published on the VCA website somewhere? If i had access to those decisions, such as the above quoted posting guidelines...

    Auto Exotica cruise (pic)

    Hi, and for all those wondering... No one got a speeding ticket this day (although one viper got stopped after a bit of enthusiastic driving). I don't think he even got a warning. It was a wonderful day, and i must say that some of the back road twisties where some of the best i have ever...

    Vipers in Europe???

    Viper friends, thousand thanks for all your info. Me and my vife are heading over to Italy next week to determine if we want to live there or not (it is very likely though). I'm definately leaning towards taking the viper north to Germany if i need something major done (i believe i can do...

    Vipers in Europe???

    Hi, I wonder how hard it is to find a good shop to service my 2000 RT/10 in Europe? I am considering moving to northern Italy, somewhere around Milan. I would love to have the snake on the european roads and of course i wouldn't mind to have a true american muscle car in the land of the...

    OFFICIAL SRT-10 POLL!!! THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN?

    I think the SRT has lost some of the "viper magic". To me it is bland, and it doesn't entice me. I won't buy an SRT as long as it looks like this, i'm considering italian horsepower for my next car. I know people say "look at the specs", well you know i appreciate performance, but it by itself...

    2002 viper insurance

    Hi, I am happy to report that i got my 00 RT/10 and my 99 Volvo S80 insured for $1,800. It went up slightly after i had a $1,100 fender bender on my previous vehicle (my fault), but only $200 more per year. If i drop the viper from my insurance the cost would go down about $400 per year. I...

    Need fantastic body shop in Eastbay

    This is not eastbay but southbay. Sunnyvale autobody (off mathilda & 101) did a truly fantastic job on my BMW (silver). I have never seen a shop as excellent as they are, they have a 1-3 month wait and i truly think it is worth it. That is where my viper is going shortly to fix a minor...

    ATTENTION NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. RECALL HELP?

    Smokin, i think that is a great idea! It is great if norcal VCA can be actively involved and ensure that the most enthusiastic viper owners, i.e. the members of the VCA, gets the highest level of support. To take it a step further, i think it would be in DC's best interest to provide...

    Radar-Bell 980, ****** 8500, or Val1 ???

    hi, i have an ****** 8500. My buddy has a V1 (not a new V1, his is like 3 years old). He consistently starts braking way before me, even when he is behind me, when approaching the police radar traps. This highly unscientific field test, which we have repeated on many weekends, has proven at...
