    NEED HELP............BATTERY PROBLEMS, I THINK

    If you have a good battery that is charged to a reasonable degree, there is no need for any battery tender. The Viper, with no electrical problems, doesn't drain your battery any more than any other car. You should be able to leave your car, unused and un recharged for a couple of months at a...

    NEED HELP............BATTERY PROBLEMS, I THINK

    I'm guessing that you checked both the battery terminal connections for corrosion and the point under the hood where the battery cable connects to the terminal post. Also the ground connection to the chassis on the non battery end of the negative battery cable. All those need to be solid...

    My headers Lost by UPS show up on EBAY

    KurtZ, I think that's about what has happened here. Your offer to sell at cost is a favor to the owner who has already been compensated by the shipper. Or perhaps didn't get compensated because they didn't pay for insurance. I don't see any crime. Some guy or guys who, working for the shipper...

    How did you get your Viper?

    Three years ago I had sold some covered calls on a bunch of Philip Morris, MO, that I had been holding. MO went up, my options were called away, and I had the money. Hey, I made some money on it. Always keep your eye on what you made, not what you could have made. But anyway, I bought a beat up...

    My headers Lost by UPS show up on EBAY

    UPS must get a big pile of things every day that loose their shipping tag. UPS probably just sells off the lost items and pays compensation. The seller probably buys items from UPS and sells them on ebay. I don't believe that the headers now belong to the original owner/shipper. UPS came to...

    Strange phone call last night

    If the seller is paid in cash. How would any authority be able to show that the bill of sale price was not the selling price? I remember something about cash sales $10k and over must be reported or something like that, but that doesn't apply to private sales does it? Again, If the seller takes...

    Maintain the value of your snake?

    If "I needed to sell my GTS, I would get exactly what I want for it, or it would not sell plain and simple..." Of course that would not be true. If you "needed" to sell your Viper, you would take what you could get. If you didn't take what you could get, then, You didn't "need" to sell it...

    Maintain the value of your snake?

    I believe that the most important thing will be that the car is STOCK. Everything must be exactly as stock. Numbers must match. Now of course that's for a top dollar collector car. A Viper with the wrong stock wheels for its year will not be as good as stock, but it will be better than a Viper...

    GM reveals new Z06 Performance specs!

    "There is no way dealers are going to add a mere 3K to the sticker, more like 10 or 15K. Factor in sales tax and it's going to cost you 85K or more out the door. It had better have those kind of numbers." Hey, don't forget, there's a dealer in Maryland who will sell you a Z06 at or below sticker.

    Mold spots on car cover...some help?

    Tri Sodium Phosphate mixed with bleach and water will remove mold and mildew spots. This will work where other stuff wont. I think you will find that the spots wont grow on the cover unless there is some kind of material there for them to grow on. A little spatter of beer or soda, is an...

    So I got rear-ended today... in my SRT-10

    How much could the reduction on value really add up to? I mean what could you get a court to go for? I don't know? Lets say $5k. In order to get it, you will probably have to get a lawyer and take them to court. If you win, how much will you keep after expenses? I'm not saying that you...

    What's the latest we could find out Coupe HP Ratings?

    Re: What\'s the latest we could find out Coupe HP Ratings? "is it fair to speculate they might have limited edition runs of the coupe?" I wonder if they will make a special, yellow, VCA limited edition? They could charge extra for it and they would never ever make any more like it. Honest.

    Interesting Info from Conner Avenue Plant

    Colors? What about this? "Management has dictated that all car platforms have to stand on their own business plans" I don't care what color it is. If this is true, there will be no more Vipers.

    Lifter tick at start-up louder/longer when oil level topped off.

    I wonder if it might have something to do with the old oil that is down 2qts compared to the old oil after two qts of fresh oil is added? The topped off oil in the crankcase might be thicker having just had two new qts added? That's more of a question than a reason.
