    Are there any all season tires?

    Its not that we dont understand it, its that youre asking for your cake and to eat it too. I mean I would love for my Viper to get 600hp AND 70mpg, its just not in the cards with current technology. Realistically I would find it hard to believe there would be a comparable difference between the...

    My 6 figure car

    If I thought my baby would be safe at work (and I didnt have an unkept dirt road to drive on to get there) there is no question in my mind that my GTS would be my daily driver. Id still have my Ram or Jeep for snow/salt though... If I were to get a new GT2 it would have to be a daily since I...

    Color/last model?

    No, the sheer level of sales put into that ad is a thing to behold. If you read it carefully there's not a whole lot of info for the amount of words put into it. I bet the 5-gallons is factory fill and its on the build sheet because of fuel taxes across state lines. Any time I take my truck...

    My 6 figure car

    Up until the Japanese began making 100k-mile cars there was no logical reason to build a 100k mile car here in the US. It wasnt about quality - it was about profitability. Why plate the block in 24k gold when the buyer was probably going to scrap it in five years? When the Datsuns and Hondas...

    Color/last model?

    Wow, thats a beautifully crafted load of horse**** there - I think Im actually a bit impressed! Very well done.

    My 6 figure car

    You cannot compare design obsolescence of any modern to car to any other car built after 1930. I have no idea where this concept popped up, but Id like to kick the guy who coined it square in the balls for starting numerious fights on other forums. "Oh, the BA10 in the jeep is pretty much...

    My 6 figure car

    Soft parts do, hard parts dont. Most cars today are built soft for safety and fuel economy. Id be surprised if even some of these pampered cars (Enzo, Pagani, ect...) are even drivable in 100 years while Model Ts are still being driven today...

    Color/last model?

    Not to mention I dont think 101,081 vipers were ever built, let alone numbered. Where'd the hell did they come up with that number??? VIN maybe?

    2006 viper, current coolant is orange, coolant I bought is pink, can I mix?

    Dont mix! Orange and Pink coolants use acids as a replacement to glycol - some of those dont play well with each other. Even pink to pink can sometimes cause issues. When I switched over to mopar pink, both the SRT guy and Tator had me flush the system several times to make sure all the other...

    My 6 figure car

    Very Nice! To me a well maintained 100k car will always have more value than a 10 miles MSO trophy. Modern motors are built to last a lifetime - the rubber/electronics, not so much when you stop using them...

    1995 Viper Engine Swap

    I'd listen to whatever Tom is PM'ing you about. Beyond that, a Gen1 motor will be cheaper, easier to find, and give you the least amount of headache installing. The bonus 15hp (for 96-98) and/or 50hp can be found in upgrades.

    Viper wont start... or well anything...

    A more truer statement may never be made here...

    Viper wont start... or well anything...

    She suddenly decided to power up and run... just long enough to move the 10ft I needed to clear the lift for jacking her up. New Optima on the way... She's tapping baddly under the hood, but I think I remember Tator telling me something about the valves tap if she sits for too long... either...

    Viper wont start... or well anything...

    No wheels are turned from when I pulled in... The question I need answered is whether or not there is a reason the underhood terminal is not working? Usually the door poppers work once a power source is connect - not this time. If there is a fuse or something I might be able to get to that -...

    Viper wont start... or well anything...

    Excellent plan... except I cant get to the battery until I move the car from under the lift. Cant move the car until I can get inside. Cant get inside until I get enough power to the doors. Right not I cant get any power through the hood terminal at all...

    Anyone's Neighbors Ever Complain About Noise?

    Its one of those "you chose to live in a neighborhood with an HOA" senerios. Like Free said, get out your copy and see what the actual text of the noise regulations are. You signed the contract, so if it says noise must be kept within 87dbz you might as well kiss your sports car goodbye. Ive...

    Viper wont start... or well anything...

    Installed a new diehard six months ago, been on the battery tender ever since. Went to get in yesterday... nothing. No power at all. Its under the lift right now so I cant get to the battery itself, but I tried to start and jump it off the hood terminal and could only manage a weak click. Left...

    Best place to buy Race Ramps

    Are these trailer ramps or just booster ramps? Im looking over the site but these look like the same ramps I used to use to change the oil in my honda 20 years ago... Can you clarify?

    Harrisburg Mecum Auction

    A lot of these auctions offer cars on consignment for either professional flippers or family members unloading a loved one's hoarde. In both cases the ongoing logic is that if you dont know the car to just leave it be - a solid dirty car has more value to a collector than a baddly polished...
