    Painting center console area

    I had a scratched up silver 1 in my 05'. Had it painted yellow last summer. Not thrilled with appearance (to much yellow inside) but it was an easy sand and paint for a local body shop.

    Do you get asked "How much did you pay?"

    Like everyone else I get this question all the time. Response depends on how they ask. Also met a number of guys who have a brother in-law, friend or somebody that has a "faster" car then the Viper. Must be the cruise nights I go to.

    Odd ? about track days & overcoming cornering fears

    I work with a couple of track day HPDE organizations as an instructor in New England. We do not get paid so there is no cost to the participants beyond the track day. Take a ride and then drive with an instructor. You'll learn a lot in short period of time making your experiences much more...

    Do these rollbars make my car look wierd?

    Which bar is it? Looks like a Maidenform or Autoform. Only way to tell is strip down to the bare chassis and get a closer look.

    $209 Full Service Oil Change at the Dealer?

    You can service it yourself for a lot less. My dealer charges $79.99 for the service. I know we use full synthetic and pretty sure it requires 8 quarts of oil. That's $40 for oil and $10-$12 for a filter to do it yourself.

    Michelin Super Sports - just installed

    I've got about 400 miles on a new set of Super Sports. Not sure if my comparison is fair. Had about 5 year old PS 2's when I bought my car. Drove them a couple hundred miles and replace with SS when I bought new wheels. As noted above they hook and hold much better than the PS 2's.

    Battery...How Long Did It Last?

    Just took the original out of an 05' with 38K. Didn't sound to strong when I started the car. Recently bought the car used and didn't want to risk getting stuck due to an $80 battery failure.

    BAD FM Reception

    Found the radio reception problem. Had a bad aftermarket antenna adapter. While I was in there I decided to replace a Clarion pop up NAV unit with a new Pioneer HD iphone compatible radio. Easy to use and it sounds pretty good too! Also had the dash and console painted to match the car...
