    Coming out of long term storage...

    So is the flashing thing a common problem? I'm seeking reassurance I didn't fry anything, though I'm not sure how it would be possible to do so doing what I did.

    Coming out of long term storage...

    I'll bump an old thread... My gen-1 has been sitting for about a year in the same state as Jim's. I hooked up a charger to the battery posts under the hood, and when I turned it on, the flashers, radio, and dash lights would flash and current out of the charger would go on/off at about 1-2 Hz...

    U-Haul and Viper

    I've done this with a gen-1. It's not that big a deal if you do it right. A couple pics and related comments... First, get the correct trailer. You need one of the late-model trailers. The old ones are way too narrow for comfort. There was no way I was going to tow it with this little...

    Question for 1st gen owners please

    The gaskets on my 94 are fine so far, but it only has 5k on the clock. I have a new set for when that day comes though. It seems that most have let go somewhere around 15k recently.

    HEAD GASKET UPDATE, Gen-1 Guys Look Here!

    I'm considering doing this as I'm still running original gaskets. How much will I change compression if I go down in thickness? Anything else I should be concerned with?

    Ferrari of Washington Exotic Meet 10/18

    Sounds good to me. I'm out of town this weekend (during the Fall Cruise), but I'm always looking for an excuse to drive my car.

    Behold the New Electric "Viper"

    When you consider the whole cycle with one of these things (power plant, tx lines, house, charger, batteries, motor), you're talking about 30% of the efficiency of a gasoline-powered vehicle. Unless the grid is mostly nuclear, you're polluting more by driving your electric car. Gasoline is a...

    VCA ****!

    Meh, buy a couple hundred shares of your favorite price-gouging oil company and become an owner of this fantastic profit-making machine. It'll even out. I bought premium at $3.84 in VA yesterday.
