    Tar and bugs on my yellow car

    I was wondering about the yellow and bugs... wasn't sure until one day I waxed both a blue Jeep and my yellow RT at the same time. Not a single bug could car about the jeep but I had at least a dozen variations of insect checking out the yellow. My wife thinks it's a riot that the bugs enjoy...

    How did you afford to buy a Viper?

    Bruce, I posted my story a bit earlier in the thread, no college for me. At about 15 I got bored and started working. Got into tech at 18 and clawed my way up from tech support to CTO for a $25 million a year software company :) No degree but plenty of hard work. Greg 02 Yellow RT/10

    Anyone having problems with sagging doors?

    I've had both hinges on my car replaced in the past year that I've had the car. The first time wasn't a big deal as I had the work done at a shop but the second time was probably the worst automotive nightmare of my life. I took the car to Autoway Dodge and had it done under warranty and not...

    How did you afford to buy a Viper?

    Since this thread is popular I was curious where the stats actually stood at this point. There are 84 posts not counting the original post that have obvious "Yes I have a degree" or "No I don't have a degree". There are 2 or 3 that are a bit vague so I'm not counting them. Current standings...

    How did you afford to buy a Viper?

    Finished 10th grade, got bored in 11th and started working. Started in the computer industry doing technical support for an ISP (not AOL) and now I'm the CTO for a software company. IMHO I have to say that education is certainly important but not just for the sake of saying that you have an...

    Bought mine about about 4 weeks ago from him, never meet the man and never even saw a picture of the car. Simplest car purchase of my life, I recommend him highly :) Greg

    Oil Change Gone Bad... (pic)

    Be careful putting an oil filter on with that much pressure. The gasket/o-ring will swell with oil and heat making it nearly impossible to get off when you get to your next oil change. I've personally done this mistake once and in order to get the filter off ended up using a screwdriver to...

    Question about new vipers?

    Ok George, you owe me a new keyboard for that last comment... I think that the water I spit out when I saw "Eminem Urban Appearance Package" fried my last one. That was just too funny

    Help! Oil Drops Under New 2002 Viper with 200 miles on it

    Make sure it's motor oil and not power steering fluid... I've read a few posts about people with either a problem with a clamp on the power steering line or the cap to the power steering being loose/off.

    Engine Fire Alert - Thankfully Little Damage

    I rented a Viper, 2001 GTS with ~1500 miles, and after about a hour of driving it I noticed an odd smell.... Pulled into my destination and opened the hood to find the cap gone and fluid smoldering on the header. Long story short, got a generic GM replacement cap that fit perfectly, called...

    engine compartment fires?

    Don't have my own Viper but I rented a 2001 GTS that had ~800 miles on it when I started. I drove it about 20 miles (not exactly obeying the posted limits) and then opened the hood to show a few friends. That's when my wife asked why the engine was smoking... Sure enough, there was smoke...

    Leasing a Viper in Florida?

    Hi all, I had been very interested in Vipers for several years based upon what I had seen and read. Up until about 4 months ago I had mixed feelings about getting one... then I rented a 01 GTS and RT/10 for a couple days. Well, that made the aformentioned mixed feelings into a...
