    My dreams of owning a Viper... Crushed today with a 20 min test-drive!

    Holy Cow! I don't know what I was thinking - buying a Viper! What a fool I must be... :o With all this talk about Corvettes, I guess I should just give my worthless Viper to my son and run down to the Chevy store to get me a REAL car! :crazy...

    Flood Damaged

    I caught a fish THISSSSS long in that puddle, too. Wanna buy it for $10? All you have to do is Western Union some guy in the U.K. the $10, who will then use it to the money to dolt some poor e-Bay'r. Honestly, about 20 years ago a got stuck with a company car that had been drowned... It...

    Hood won't stay open

    Re: Hood won\'t stay open Break cleaner - from any auto parts store. Just be careful with it - It might "fuzz" your paint.

    License Plate Renewal RIPOFF

    $1,150, but it's not due for two months, so I'm hoping Arnold gets that tax corrected soon. I did have to pay the new "Gray" tax on my Suburban this month - around $500, with about $300 of that - thank you Gray Davis. Word is that Arnold may be able to have refunds sent out... Being my...

    Where to Get Smooth Tubes???

    http://www.partsrack.com/ [email protected] Jon talked me into also getting EBC Greens (front break pads) and K&N filters - if you haven't done so already, they're a must. It took me two months to get around to the 15 minute job of swapping out the pads, but I am REAL HAPPY! (Hint -...

    Anyone Have The G-Tech Pro?

    I agree, the Copmitition version is the way to go, but... About a year ago then said this summer they would support recording data on a road-course track (not just 1/4 mile drag) and real-time output to a PC (so you could record the data in real-time, in the event the time you spent on the...

    AAAAARRGGGHHHH!!!! Someone baked my Viper

    You'r looking at $90 to $120 in materials PLUS labor. The CATCH is you need to find someone experienced AND trustworthy in TPO repair, and it'll be a good as new. I had a 2" cut in the front facia, I took it off & remounted it myself. The repair was around 1 hour for the TPO repair, then...

    Viper Owners, Quit your whining

    It appears his article was based on "opinions", rather than a specific "product comparison". I don't know how much lattitude is appropriate when someone is writing about what they "think" of something. Yes, he could have clearified that the older (Gen I) had no AC, that glass windows didn't...

    Navy Thinks About Updating Their Viper...

    Stanley Steamer gets more attention!

    It finally happened... I was at the hardware store, and another car got more attention than my RT/10! A wonderfully kept 1919 Stanley Steamer! That steam-driven car has a 600PSI boiler that puts 25hp sustained, and about 100hp peak... moving the 4,200lb iron horse at a sustained 55mph, with a...

    I just completed my last transaction with Jon B

    SMC - Thank your for gracing me with a direct comment. :smirk: The posted sequence of events (quoted above), show an initial quote, followed by, "I replied the next day and asked that he would give me a call to complete the transaction." ...and then things just kept getting worse. So, like...

    I just completed my last transaction with Jon B

    Seriously, you e-mailed a business for a $40+ order and asked them to call you back OUTSIDE their business hours to get payment info because you couldn't be bothered to find 10 minutes during normal business hours? Why not e-mail your current address? What wrong with a fax? I'm sorry...

    Congrats to PMUM (must read)

    Chuck - Yeah, I could see how it looks like I called pro a newbie... sorry about that. I should have taken a little more time to clearify that I was worried about what would happen with newbies, when six cars rack it up who know what they are doing! YES, it's a slam against my insurance...

    Congrats to PMUM (must read)

    This is exactly why my insurance company tells me they won't cover my car at any form of driving event. One newbie screw-up and it can be all over. When I asked about the percentage of Viper accidents on the track vs. the road their response was that they don't keep statistics of track related...

    I found out what my CLUNK noise is caused from! I'm soo happy!

    Re: I found out what my CLUNK noise is caused from! I\'m soo happy! I had a "clunk" too that some simple wrench work took care of... during mild acceleration it would go "clunk", somewhere above the transmission near the back of the engine, like it was hitting the firewall or something. Turned...
