    ***WRECKED VIPER---ADVICE PLEASE (Pics)***

    Good question. I'm suprised it didn't come up sooner. It is illegal to drive without insurance in CA too. Perhaps that's why it hasn't been registered. I didn't know Mike(wrecked Viper owner) before the crash. He reads this board regularly so he e-mailed me and asked for my help. Mike is 19...

    ***WRECKED VIPER---ADVICE PLEASE (Pics)***

    Hi Jim, I asked him about fixing it up but he says that he's done with high performance sports cars. Plus he doesn't have the scratch to buy the new parts. Also discussed the aspect of parting it out and getting more money. At this point he just wants to get rid of it and recover some of the...

    ***WRECKED VIPER---ADVICE PLEASE (Pics)***

    You very well may be right. I've seen several salvaged Vipers with bent frames that have been fixed and turned into dedicated track cars. They aren't real pretty cars but they serve their purpose. My Viper Tech bought a salvaged car with a tweaked frame from an insurance company. He fixed it and...

    ***WRECKED VIPER---ADVICE PLEASE (Pics)***

    According to the owner, he started the engine at the yard and it sounded normal. Oil started to spew out from under the car so he shut it down. The engine could very well be damaged by the 2-1 shift but then maybe not. I don't have enough info to comment on that. If I was buying it, I'd...

    Gary, I was also thinking somewhere in the area of 20k or the high teens. Thanks for the input. Tomer, Sorry about the scare. Won't happen again. ;)

    ***WRECKED VIPER---ADVICE PLEASE (Pics)***

    No, I didn't wreck my 97...A fellow 97 Blue & White owner recently wrecked his Viper. The crash occurred while he was attempting a shift from 2-3. Instead of going into 3, he shifted into 1. End result was rear wheel lock up and loss of control. The Viper struck a curb, a large water pipe...

    Tracking numbers for HID Group Buy

    Sure, here you go. This is from my install a few months back. The system is Philips but looks similar to the one you guys got. Test the function prior to installing. Mine didn't work during the test. I had to reverse the polarity on the wiring from the relay to the ballast. Start by removing...

    Jon B saved my butt last night

    Chuck, I don't like the whittling away of freedoms either. Too many laws on the books as it is. As far as where criminals are sentenced after they are convicted, that has nothing to do with the police (since that's the focus of our discussion). That is strictly in the hands of the courts and the...

    Jon B saved my butt last night

    LI, I'd be more then happy to respond to your statement. :cool: Lets start by the term "wrongfully harassing." That would imply an unlawful detetion, lacking any probable cause. That would be absolutely wrong and illegal. Plenty of ways to address that including administrative complaint...

    Jon B saved my butt last night

    City, that's a tough one to answer without any statistical data to back it up. Here's one that can be answered to an absolute degree of certainty and without dispute. On April 19, 1995 a terrorist named Timothy McVeigh delivered and detonated a truck bomb in OKC resulting in the deaths of 168...

    Good practical joke at car show on me!!

    Michael, Sorry bro, but when you give up info like that, you're just inviting your buds to take it and run with it. However, I hear that congratulations are in order for your recent 1st Place finish in the www.soccermoms.com Van-O-Rama. :2tu: Now all you have to do is have Vipermad update...

    Corsa-best price with shipping

    I found the best price for my Corsas at Parts Rack too. Make sure you get high flow cats too. Otherwise the Corsa sound isn't going to be very aggresive.
