    Heart Felt Thank You To Dr. Steve Fess

    Steve is one of the most dedicated, knowledgeable, caring, selfless club guys I have ever been involved with. My story: After a club event, on the curb of his house, he showed me how to check my coolant levels. Just a "hey, follow me home, we'll check that" and I have seen him help others...

    And then there were none.

    Well, the guy just left with my Viper on a trailer. It is sold. What a fun experience it was owning a Viper but it just wasn't the car for me and the fam. Thanks to everyone for a good time. I am probably going to pick up a '69 Charger next year. Jeff

    I'm looking for some information on a B&W 96 in Indy.

    Looks pretty clean, normal wear for a car with some mileage. My car has 82K, I am in Indy and could check it out, I am not the MOST knowledgeable guy in Indy but I do own a 97 B/W for the last 4 months. Price seems decent in comparison to what I paid for mine.

    Cool view!! Fun to watch the tires slide a bit, almost like it lost traction. I dont think I have ever seen that view of a pass. Cool stuff. Car sounds excellent.

    Anyone know what's going on with R&J Distributing?

    Well, I had emailed about the hood insulation they have and got incomplete answers in the return emails and waited a week or two for the second email. By that time, I had found the last remaining hood insulation in the whole Mopar dealer network. Will not deal with again, if, they cant be...

    Downshifting?

    Thanks Husker, that is exactly where I was at 60MPH and needing to change lanes. The "go" pedal comment has been planted firmly in my mind since the first day I got it. I have never had a car that had the capability of reacting like this one does, it is like nothing else. Rev-Matching is the...

    Downshifting?

    I'm thinking the standard I did learn to drive with was a late 70's corolla, not exactly a torque monster. Had automatics since, even in my 12 sec Roadrunner

    Downshifting?

    Well, took a nice long drive this morning and without killing anyone or myself, I tried rev-matching, only to learn I instinctively do it anyway. Had a jolt or two as I overrevved but for the most part, it was ok. Ahhhh, third gear, between 2nd and 3rd, those two are my favorite but I got on on...

    Downshifting?

    Ughh, there is always a **** answer. Thanks for your answers guys. I asked the question because I had not done it with a car that could tear your head off if you make a mistake and everyone always said "take it easy with this car as you get used to it?"

    Downshifting?

    I have been cruising my 97 more and was on the highway tonight, I went to pass a truck while I was in 5th and downshifted to 4th which still did not seem like enough to get around as quick as I wanted. Would I actually come down into 3rd? I am afraid of that big of drop spinning the car...

    I think I made a mistake.

    Her? Yeah, she is cute, the songs on the other hand.... :)

    Almost crashed tonight...

    I would check your seat. :) Glad it was an "almost crashed" and not a "crashed"
