    Who insures your Viper?

    Gauranteed retail value only means that you'll get whatever the Actual Cash Value (ACV) of the car is determined to be. Insurance companies use different methods. Some use NADA and the RedBook, some use an outside service who looks at local ads, dealer lots, overal values, etc.... So the...

    Any used ExoticCarTransport.com?

    Chris, I just had my Viper transported from Arizona to a suburb of Philadelphia a few weeks ago. I've got two recommendations for you. 1. A gentelman named Ralph, who goes by Forged Horseman on this forum. He's a Viper owner and owns/runs a transport company. He gave me a great qoute and was...

    Who insures your Viper?

    CANTDRIVE55, I've heard rumors that there are policies out there for that, where you buy coverage for the day, but I haven't seen it. I'd imagine it's highly restrictive in what it pays for and is probably expensive. Racing is not a winning proposition for an insurance company, so most...

    Who insures your Viper?

    If you don't mind, let me inject a post from an insurance company standpoint.....yes, I work for one. First, if you're going to get a "specialty" or "collector" policy, you must read it very carefully. They are great to have, but the policy tends to be restrictive. It may say something like...

    1 Year Old & Already Trying to Claim Daddy's Viper?

    Re: 1 Year Old & Already Trying to Claim Daddy\'s Viper? Very cute. I just got my Viper about 3 weeks ago, and my 2 year old son already has 3 scale models of the car and says "Joshie sit in daddy's Viper!" Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it? Although in that first picture, she...

    I'm a Viper owner!! Pics inside.

    Re: I\'m a Viper owner!! Pics inside. Thanks again all. Like I said, definitely thrilled with the choice of GTS and definitely the black with Cognac interior. I had thought of striping it, but I think I want to leave it all black for a while. I'm going to do my very best to keep it clean...

    I'm a Viper owner!! Pics inside.

    Re: I\'m a Viper owner!! Pics inside. Thanks all. OK, so don't I feel dumb not knowing it had adjustable pedals. I was actually thinking that when I was driving the car....my wife's Ford Taurus has adjustable pedals and I was thinking these should adjust too. I should have checked the...

    I'm a Viper owner!! Pics inside.

    I\'m a Viper owner!! Pics inside. I'm very excited to now be the owner of a '99 Viper GTS. As I had written before, I owned a FFR Cobra replica for over 4 years, but after the birth of my son and my changing jobs, I found that I never drove it. I loved that car to death and was very active...

    Help!! Where do I find a windshield for a '99 GTS????

    Help!! Where do I find a windshield for a \'99 GTS???? The local dealer qouted me a price of $700 plus tax for just the windshield glass itself, plus any installation. Does this seem right? Anywhere else I can get one? Steve

    Solidify plans for PA/NJ/DE area Viper gathering

    My Viper hasn't arrived yet, so I hope you guys don't mind me posting to get something organized, but I think it would be fun. If someone else wants to take the lead on it, that's cool. I don't want to "step on toes", I'm just following up on the idea that was brought up earlier. And...

    2 questions...Adding stripes to a GTS and transmission issues?

    Re: Adding stripes to a GTS? Rik, Yes, that's me. I loved my Cobra and really hated to see it go. But I never got to drive my Cobra, so it was time to sell it. I wanted something as close to the Cobra as I could get, and I've always loved the Vipers, so it was an obvious choice. I'll post...

    Keys locked in 01 GTS

    Tony, Take it easy.... I in fact just purchased one. I haven't updated my profile yet, but will certainly do so shortly. As a matter of fact, I actually work for an auto insurance company as a claims manager and spent several years as a fraud investigator, so the last thing I'm about to do is...

    Is 30,000miles high for a '01?

    Re: Is 30,000miles high for a \'01? For my $.02.... I just don't get all the major issue around it. Sure, I'd want to pay a little less for a higher mileage car, just like you would for a Taurus or Accord, but it's not THE major factor when I'm looking at a car. As has been said, I'd...

    Re: Let\'s plan a PHILLY mtg; give wannabes a chance to check out a viper It's up to you guys on what you'd want to do. Do you want to do just meet somewhere and grab something to eat? Or do you want to do a local Viper "show"? And by show, I mean quite small and local. It costs $50 to...

    Re: Let\'s plan a PHILLY mtg; give wannabes a chance to check out a viper Well then let's pick a date. Like I mentioned, for me, I'd like to do either the last of July or first weekend of August, as I'm hoping to have a Viper in the garage by then. Either of those dates work for you guys...

    Re: Adding stripes to a GTS? I'd be curious to see how it comes out. I could start a new thread, but I'll just post it here. I'm also seeking a rough estimate on the value of the cars I'm looking at. Yeah...I know...a car is worth whatever someone will pay. But if it was you, what would you...
