Hi Everyone,

Just purchased my first Viper. Got rid of my 2000 vette and ohh what a difference. The vette was a little more cozy but the Viper is sooooo much more fun. :eek:

Its a 98 RT/10, 10,000 miles which was custom painted. Hurt the value a bit but it I love it plus Im the only one with that color. :p

Cant wait for my Zaino kit to start detailing. Paints in great shape but it came 12,000 miles on an open carrier...OUCH!

I dont think the wife likes it because the chicks sooo DIG it. :2tu:

Congrats!

You'll never be able to re-enter the Vette world again. Somehow, pledging a tenth of your income to that mausoleum in Kentucky will seem lame to you now...

Yes, I bought it from another VCOA user and I yes she had it on ebay.. The bra is temporary as its hiding some chips. Need to repaint the frontend but cannot get the paint code. It seems to chip easier than factory paint. hmm?

backnblack, Why not zaino for this paint?

Just ordered their entire package.

They probably didn't put as much flex additive in the paint as ASC does. It will give you a better match at the price of easier chipping.

Great car, great way to start the Summer. You'll be smiling!

You'll love the Zaino results, just a lot of work. We could support a whole web site on the topic of waxes and cleaners. There are a lot of good products out there!

So your the lucky one to get Mary's car! Congrats! It's a gorgeous color and a great car. Pictures just don't do that color justice. I wanted to buy it for my wife and keep it local, but she's still in love with her SL. Again, congrats on the new ride.

I guarantee that you will wake up every Saturday (when a nice day) with a smile on your face and a spring in your walk.

Vipernewbie,
Welcome to the VCA. I know you will enjoy the car which looks great! Noticed you are located in Telford and wanted to let you know that I and the WV/PA VCA club are having a Bucks Co. Cruise along the river with a very nice lunch planned before heading back. The date is Sat. June 11. Vipers will be meeting at my place (near Wrightstown) around 11 am. Would love to see your car in person. If interested, PM me and welcome again.

Because Zaino has a tendancy to make your finish look plastic. The pinnicle will make it look deep and wet.
