    How much would a 24 yo pay for insurance?

    ask your agent if there is a category with less miles. I am 28 and my state farm agent told me of a "Classic car" category that allows you 7500 miles per yr and it only costs me around $75/mo

    battery location

    Thanks for the quick response. I was told to pull battery to charge it. you think its ok to put the battery charge on there? i saw some old threads about jumping or charging could affect something else? Maybe i am being to paranoid about a battery change.

    Sourcing Obsolete Parts For Gen I and Gen II Vipers

    Thanks for doing this. This will be a great source for future parts. Weather striping for windows would be great to get less than $400 a pop. I have a 97 GTS and weather striping is shot!
