    Bravado Banshee...I won!

    It looks like it was a Gen3 Coupe when it started, B/W. Sad to alter it, but that is what WCC does. With the aftermarket stereo and electronics mods, I would not be surprised if there is more than one battery in it now, they may have added a marine cycle and an extra charging circuit. You...

    Bravado Banshee...I won!

    Congratulations, that is a really amazing conversion. I cannot say whether I like the actual body or not, but owning a Banshee in real life is awesome :-) That was always the car I looked for in the gas station in GTA3. Before I owned a Viper that was my favorite car, and now that is the top...

    Doctor told me not to drive my car!

    Sorry you are in any pain Mark. I think the moral is to let someone else take your car on the charity rides! I will start planning the best route up to London! Feel better! /john

    Any tips for visiting LA in October?

    Hi Holger: Very funny, one of my colleagues here in Germany just got back from the west coast for his summer holiday. They were out for 3 weeks and did LA, Hermosa, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, SF, Vegas, and some other nice stops. Please let me know if you would like to talk to him for a...

    Not the way to start the weekend

    I have seen this hinted at elsewhere, but I really do think I need to block or mentally ignore the Gen V forums :(

    After missing my car for 9 months, I pulled it out last week... In the lovely Chicago summer weather of 50s and rain. Don't care, was awesome!

    Relaxing in Germany after a short European Vacation.......

    Absolutely beautiful! This is why I am trying to convince my better half to ship the car over here for a year next year... The scenery is just too beautiful! Did you have any close calls with clearance or narrow roads?

    Hackers to demonstrate exploits against CAN bus and OBD2

    Paros Proxy or Burp suite and i-funbox should be a good start. I would imagine if you can manage this and disclose to SRT then publicly you would be getting some decent street cred :-)

    Car value???

    Definitely talk to me if you want more info! I can walk to Switzerland from where I live, a border town on the lake. Downtown Zürich is an hour train ride. Amazingly beautiful country, but also insanely expensive, and yes, there is a lot to be aware of regarding taxes. Southern Germany is a...

    Car value???

    Trust me when I say you will miss your car more than you know! Depending on where you are thinking of moving, is bringing it an option? In Europe, I have been very surprised to see Vipers modified with parking sensors, headlight washers, and fog/side marker lights. If the car is mostly...

    "If you haven't, it is a must do!" Le-Mans 24hrs

    We had no problem seeing the cars go flying by as we walked around. There are several big-screens strategically placed to keep an eye on the standings, and also Radio Le Mans, an FM/Internet radio station in English to keep stay informed. Rain actually wasn't too bad. An umbrella/rain coat...

    I want to trade my 2003 black calipers for red calipers.

    +1 for painted. Wikkid, the previous owner of my car painted and put Viper stickers on them. they look great and have held up without a problem!

    Another crash - 2004 SRT10 in Nashville, allegedly by a Salesman

    Featured on yesterday's Wrecked Exotics facebook page: http://www.wreckedexotics.com/newphotos/exotics2013jun10/2004-dodge-viper-8153.shtml Shockingly, I don't see a broken rear knuckle, which means it was most certainly a deer! :omg::omg:

    Who has the fastest N/A Gen III or Gen IV?

    I just laughed my ass off. "What? No, that can't be. That can't be. Why not?". :drive::lmao:

    +1 more interested... Transportation and accommodations have been sorted already, as not much time was left for the nervous. I would, however, be deeply interested in some of these great opportunities!

    2013 Club Calendar of Events

    I am in the same boat, living in Germany for a couple years while the car sits pickled at home. I will be stateside this summer for a few weeks and plan to pull the car out for a Road Trip, but not sure if it coincides with any IL events!

    Great April Fool's Day Joke

    Never mess with a BOFH SysAdmin, Executive Assistant, or your airline Gate Agent. They can and do make your life hell just for fun. Good one, Runnr.

    Viper Garage Rug

    After suggesting advertising, the vibe I got was that the "artist" would not be comfortable doing these on a wide scale for fear of Chrysler/SRT brand protection coming after him. I guess I see his point, it's all fun and games until you either shoot your eye out or a lawyer shows up.
