    Re: Gotta know...because I forgot and can\'t find it... Laura, If you say it, I like it! Heck, it's at least as plausible as my explanation above? Keep up the great posts! You bring a distinctive "classiness" that would be missing if you were not to be a contributing member of these...

    It could only happen to me

    Hi Mark in Boca, Don't feel bad. I am a retired Dodge dealer. I took delivery of my '96 GTS coupe from Reliable about two weeks before the sale on my store closed. We could not find the owners manual. We asked the Reliable driver and he did not know where it would be either. So I had...

    Street Racing

    Thanks Bill Pemberton for verifying my previous statements regarding insurance costs killing the muscle car era. By the time the gas crisis of 1975 came along, the so-called muscle cars that were still being sold were mere shells of their former selves, de-tuned , de-powered and "de-stroyed"...

    Street Racing

    I totally agree with what Gary has just posted! It needed to be said and I'm glad that someone with Gary's prominence in the Viper Nation said it. There was a piece on Good Morning America this morning that reported on the Long Island incident and then tied it into the import street racing...

    Car Dealers-The Good,Bad&Ugly

    Fred's concerns are understandable and may be deserved in some instances. However, it must be understood that the new car dealer is simply a person in business trying to make a profit and support his family just as any other small businessman would try to do. We are about the only business...

    Has your car been damaged while in for service?

    I know just how Jim Hodel feels! However, it is critically important to notify the dealership immediately when anything like this is noticed. Any quality dealership would want to be made aware of this so that reparations can be made. One customer lost is too many! This very post proves that...
