    Winterizing a Viper

    I think that I am going to winterize my viper this year. Any suggestions about what I should do? Additives, fuel level, battery, tire pressure, oil, anything that needs attention? Thanks for your help.

    Best Personal Plate Ever

    I REALLY, REALLY wanted to do 55IN1ST but my wife said NO WAY to it. I have to admit, she wears the pants.

    Need hi-res .jpg of Sneaky Pete and Fangs

    I put up a similar post a while ago... got no feedback. If any of you did get the fangs or Pete in high res. let me know. I'd love to get them. Thanks.

    Cruising RPMs?

    What RPM do most of you drive around. I'm not talking about when you're hammering on the car and I'm not talking about doing 80 in 6th gear at 1400 RPM. I mean day in day out normal driving. What would be your average cruising RPMs?

    Let's see those custom plates

    1701-D (The Starship Enterprise / Picard's not Kirks)! Dorky? Yes. Can I deal with that? Yes. Do I care that I'm a dork? Nope.

    My Plates Finally Came ! ! ! !

    Fast Too - That's actually the point. I want it to be 1701-D to 99% of the people out there. I want that 1% to say "cool, it's the Enterprise." I know, I'm a dork. I'm okay with that.:)

    My Plates Finally Came ! ! ! !

    Thanks, the plate is not our "standard" plate. It is called a "Bay Plate." You have to pay extra for it. The money goes to helping keep the Chesapeake Bay clean. If the bay is not kept clean you could not have Maryland crab cakes! By the way, for any people trying to visualize a particular...

    Some teaser pics

    You know, that looks pretty cool. I was killing myself debating between buying the vert vs. coupe. One of the MAJOR reasons I was thinking coupe was that rear end looked so great. I finally chose the vert just because it fit my uses better. To have a vert with the coupe rear end . . ...

    If A Paddle Shifting Transmission Was Available In 2009, Anyone Buying One?

    I agree with Raysir (and many of the other posters) the Viper is in danger of becoming a Vette. My first Viper was an Red 1994 RT-10. My choices on options and colors went like this - Red, Black (Maybe Yellow) - New or Used. Period. I was lucky enough to get one of the cars that actually came...

    RE: Hit from Behind @ a stop light & Insurance Co. Issues

    Thanks Flyngr. The funny thing is that I just don't "have the time." In fact, my wife and I are BOTH attorneys (as are 90% of our friends from law school LOL!) My best friends dad is a HUGE ambulance chaser (VERY, VERY SUCCESSFUL) and half his business is probably minor car accidents. I'm...

    2008 Hood retrofit

    Do any of you know much about painting? What about "blending" issues? Should I be able to have a hood painted and the hood only? I have the Viper Crystal Slate (it has a LOT of flake in it). Does the metallic cause more of a problem than the flat? Does it help me that the car is basically...

    Really ROUGH idle - almost stalls

    When I went to get my morning bacon, egg and cheese on a kaiser I was very alarmed when I started my car (both going and coming from the store.) When I started it both times it was a VERY, VERY rough idle. It was so rough that I really thought it was going to stall. It seemed to idle fine at...

    When is the "national" event?

    Is the national event around the same time every year? Is it always in the same place? How many cars show up, etc. Tell me a bit about it. If you want to tell me more by phone rather than writing out your answer, feel free to call me (443) 829-9320. I am on Eastern Standard Time (Maryland)...

    2008 Hood retrofit

    I wanted to do the '08 hood swap as well. But I was told there would be "blending" issues in painting it to match my car well. Will I need to blend the adjacent panels? How much should painting the hood cost? Also, JonB told me the hoods he had were $3,000. The Dodge dealer said they were...

    RE: Hit from Behind @ a stop light & Insurance Co. Issues

    Funny, I had no problem insuring the Viper with USAA (but it was a lot more $ than I expected just to add an additional "weekend" car) The person who hit me is insured by State Farm. We'll see what happens.

    RE: Hit from Behind @ a stop light & Insurance Co. Issues

    I'm going to try Collision Craft in Baltimore. They have done good work on my BMW and my wife's Mercedes in the past.

    RE: Hit from Behind @ a stop light & Insurance Co. Issues

    In her defense, the lady that hit me was VERY, VERY nice and VERY, VERY appologetic. She gave me all her information that night. She gave me her name, number, address, work number, insurance company name AND policy number. She has been VERY cool about the whole thing. It is MY insurance...

    RE: Hit from Behind @ a stop light & Insurance Co. Issues

    Some of you may have seen an earlier post of mine about being hit from behind and the fact that ther was SO little damage. Well I am getting a hard time from the insurance company (mine believe it or not) about the "damage." The body shop told them, much to my verbal disagreement, that all...

    I finally learned how to post pix, I think!

    Wallbanger - If you look closer, the pix were taken about 10 minutes after the car rolled off the Woodhouse carrier. That's plastic baby! BRAND NEW! WOW, I was so excited! It had been 9 years since my last Viper. I could not even take the time to "unwrap" it. But as an aside, my #%&@!^&...

    I finally learned how to post pix, I think!

    Hey, MikeR - When you said "that is what the gallery is for" did you mean to imply that my post was, in some way, to your dislike? Are there too many pictures for you? I have seen MANY posts with more pictures. I have never seen anyone else complain. Did you not like my car? Did you not...

    I finally learned how to post pix, I think!

    This bites, I am so annoyed! I think it worked. I'll go to my first post of this thread and see if I can edit it appropriately. ? Well, that worked. Now I just have to take some crisper pix.

    I finally learned how to post pix, I think!

    I have been trying to post pix inside a post for a while now. I think that I finally figured it out. I am goint to try again. Let's hope it works. I am going to try to post some pix of my Viper Crystal Slate (I think that is the official name of my color) 2006 SRT roadster. PLEASE, feel free to...

    Please post some pics

    Before I could only post thumbnails that "linked" to webshots. I could not get them to post "in" my post. I also could not get them to post larger. Now they are posting in my post and posting larger.... TOO LARGE! I'll keep trying. I think I got it now! We'll just have to see if I can do...
