    For you Baby Boomers who grew up using Craftsman tools.....

    I had a 97GTS which I sold in order to finish the second floor and add a third floor to the house. I plan to replace it as soon as I recover from cancer and a stroke. I am well on my way as sitting around is NOT an option when you own a horse and livestock farm. (according to the neurosurgeons...

    viper prices

    Location is everything! A Viper in some parts of the country is worth much more than the same car in other parts of the country. Do not go by state, but rather go by region.

    How important is a climate controlled garage?

    I think that the biggest advantage to having a climate-controlled/insulated garage is that you can avoid rapid temperature changes which can lead to condensation and moisture problems. This is especially important in the Spring when the nights are cold and then the air warms rapidly during the...

    Possible cause of overheating

    Hi Steve, sorry I missed you at the VOI. We got to get together one of these days. BTW: Just bought a Y2k Silver Prowler - nice car; wife will probably drive it most of the time. Forgot to mention that squeezing radiator hoses when hot (as in burping), could cause delamination if done too often...

    Deep Candy Apple Red would be good and of course blue with white stripes is always good. :usa:

    Possible cause of overheating

    I am posting this in hopes that it may save someone a lot of aggravation. I am 55 and have been working with all types of machinery most of my life and have seen all kinds of weird $hit. One of the strangest was one of my early muscle cars, a 1960 Corvette, that was overheating. It exhibited all...

    Make your existence known.

    My favorite food is "North Dakota Brand Weasel" - the other yellow meat. :D

    Need MXX3 Front Tires

    New tires will store quite well without deterioration if a few precautions are taken. 1) Store them in a relatively cool location (less than 75F if possible - I store my extra tires in the basement). 2) Keep them away from sunlight - elastomers and most plastics are very sensitive to...

    Thanks to DC and VCA ...

    Nope, wasn't me that got pulled over; however, the Valentine saved me a couple of times. We did not take a direct route home but went a little further south to visit a horse farm (we are into all kinds of horse power) and then went east to Vicksburg to visit the National Military Park. (The...

    Thanks to DC and VCA ...

    Many thanks to DC and the VCA for another great VOI. I realize that it takes a lot of resources and planning to stage an event like this so I just wanted to say thanks to all involved. :2tu: :usa:

    Columbus Ohio VCA?

    Welcome Lance, Terry Bosserman (419-396-6256) is president of the Ohio VCA and Sam Goldfarb (614-836-7934) is secretary. Sam is located in the Columbus area and can fill you in on everything that is going on. As was previously mentioned, I believe that the meeting at Quaker Steak and Lube...

    Are Two Snakes Better Than One?

    Two Snakes are definitely better than one! I have a 97GTS and am currently in the market for a White Mamba; I am just waiting to see what happens with the cam bolt issue. If you sell your RT, you will probably regret it. :usa:

    VOI7 was Great! Thanks...

    Had a great time at VOI 7; thanks to DC, Dodge, PVO, JRT Co., VCA, CAAP, and everyone else who made it possible. I can't think of any other auto manufacturer in the world who puts on a party even remotely like this. Think about it guys, it is really pretty amazing. Some of the highlights for...
