Looking for advice on selling a branded title 2003 Viper
The Branded Title is pretty much insignificant considering its a Red 2003 with mods. Like others have said, losing the stripes and wing might help, but even if it did we're talking pennies not decimal points. Might not even be worth the risk of damage. Be honest with what you know, youre not...- Bonkers

Anyone have Oil Filters??
Dont be. M1 and Wix XP filters are perfectly acceptable in a pinch. Was the OEM a 05037836AB or 05037836AC model? Ive been trying to contact Wix but they have not replied - seems like the new AC version is a significant downgrade over the AA and AB parts. Whats interesting is that the Hemi SRT...- Bonkers

How much of a financial “burden” has your GTS been?
Also keep in mind two things A) my purchase price was very, very low, 2) my repair costs were way way high - both for the same reason... But even in this condition i drove her home AND i would drive her cross country today if it were reasonable. These cars are very tough and easy to work on if...- Bonkers

New from Hagerty: Viper Prices Are Falling
One car a trend does not make. For all you know the buyer was drunk, or proving a point, or buying his dads old car. When EVERY Mamba pulls in $115k, then you can make the argument values are increasing...- Bonkers

Opinions on potential viper purchase
Okay, thats you, and your experiences arent everyones elses experiences. But the notion that "Most old Vipers are very well cared for and coveted" is factually BS. 90% of Vipers, especially Gen1/2s tend to fall into two very distinct categories A) They are abused either through Track time...- Bonkers

Opinions on potential viper purchase
I dont know how the 3.55s out of a 2016 are any different than the 3.55s out of a 1993, but otherwise it looks like a typical set of poser mods. Im not a fan of K&N, but the rest has the feel of Street+ to me, and they are all quality parts. Youre moving from a geriatrics car culture to a cult...- Bonkers

Anyone have Oil Filters??
Again, confused... Im not talking about the Mobil Filter which i know uses cellulose [tissue] paper and a 90psi tin valve. Im talking about the Viper Filters which use Synthetic by-weave and stainless steel 110psi valve. I know how crappy both Mobil and Wix can sometimes get, ive been...- Bonkers

Higher Filtration, approprate bypass valve pressure, cool logo, what exactly fails to meet your standards, especially compared to the M1?- Bonkers

Hagerty: 5 Cars Taking Losses to Start 2026
Honestly, couldnt be happier. Anyone who knows me here knows that "car collectors" are one of my biggest pet peeves. They turn objects meant to be driven into wall art and prices out people who actually want to drive them. Then they become status symbols or PR vehicles for people who shouldnt...- Bonkers

Low mileage cars and 'fixing' issue
I think its more important you use a quality brand than a temu bin purchase, but other than that i dont think non-oem gas struts are going to alter the value on a 4k mile car in any capacity...- Bonkers

Mobil 1: "Ask The Pro" Response... "Why You Should Change Your Engine Oil Annually"
I completely understand, but there is a thought process that "wasting" 7qts of oil to keep an 8ltr motor running efficiently is a net gain in the end. Especially if you properly recycle said oil. And dont forget, its not only about condensation - metal produces acid when wet (either by oil or...- Bonkers
