    Now I know why your username is treesnake

    My last cactus died because I DID water it (I'm not lying--I guess I went a little overboard...). Maybe I should try bonsai? $1 million is a bit out of my league, though...

    Gen 1/2 Lamin-X Headlight Protectant Group Buy

    Curious as well--the Lamin-x website shows headlight and foglight covers as a set under the label "headlight covers" (Dodge Viper (92-02) Headlight Covers). Do the sets you're selling come with fogs too?

    Castrol Syntorq 75W-85 Vs Mobil LS 74W-90

    Tom, do you know why the Castrol Syntorq only seems to be available from dealers? I looked just about everywhere (including online) last year and couldn't find it anywhere except my local Dodge dealer, branded as a Mopar product.

    Aftermarket amplifier mounting

    That's exactly what I was thinking, with the Alpine PDX-series amps. I'm not about to drill holes back there without knowing exactly what's behind those panels (and where), which is why I thought I'd ask about it here. Interesting. Any pics of this? And, isn't the gas tank directly behind...

    Aftermarket amplifier mounting

    You're talking about the back wall of the trunk, between the stock speaker locations?

    Aftermarket amplifier mounting

    I'm currently shopping for a new (more powerful) amplifier, and am curious as to how others who have replaced theirs mounted the new amp? Anyone rig something up that utilized the stock mounting bracket? Or did you drill holes in the panel behind the bracket (I'd like to find out if that's...

    2009 Performance Driving

    Just got my GTS at the end of last summer, so this will be my first full driving season with it. I've never raced before, but want to try it. There's a monthly autocross here in Champaign, and I went to one last year and rode with a guy who had an 08 vert. What a blast! I know what to expect...

    GTS spare vs. SRT inflator - saved 32 pounds for $99.99

    Didn't want to know that... So, Dave, the 32 lb savings basically makes up for the weight of the Damplifier you added to the car, right...?

    Cheap Mobil 1 0w40

    The Question and Answer section on Mobil's website has a query about 0W-40 in the five quart bottles. Mobil's answer is there are no plans to make the product available in that container size. Then again, with the sway Walmart holds over its suppliers, if anyone can get it done, it's them.

    Mobil 1 prices

    Actually, I didn't buy any this trip. I think the individual quarts were the price you mentioned. It's always cheaper to buy bulk when it's in stock.

    Mobil 1 prices

    Saw it last Friday at Walmart for $29/five quarts, or $5.80/quart in the big jug.

    Removal of Sun Visor Stickers

    Damn damn damn! Just thought I'd chime in...:D Are they easy to remove (I'm assuming just a couple screws)? I don't think I've ever used them in my GTS--the windshield is low enough and I'm tall enough that it's never been an issue.

    GTS spare vs. SRT inflator - saved 32 pounds for $99.99

    Now I'm curious...whatcha got back there? Dead bodies?

    Another one bites the dust!!!!

    True--from the description of the accident, it sounds like distraction was not the issue here. There are a million things to pay attention to on the road, in the car, in the passenger seat, etc., and a driver can't notice and react to everything, no matter how attentive he is. Generally...

    Chicago Auto Show

    Got back a little while ago. I wasn't anticipating seeing more than one Viper (all they had last year), but they had three, including the Nurburgring ACR. The red coupe and orange convertible they were letting people sit in--the line for each was as long as that for the new Camaro, at least...

    Omg It Blew Today.............

    Good luck--my local CC looked like it had been hit by Iraqi looters when I went in earlier this week. 6.5" is an uncommon subwoofer size to begin with, so you may end up having to go to Crutchfield or similar.

    Headlight switch bulb

    The new bulb got here yesterday, and fits. I used a BA7; you can find it on the superbrightleds.com site by going to "car bulbs", then "twist-lock instrument panel bulbs", and clicking on the link to "other bulbs" at the bottom of the page.

    Headlight switch bulb

    Yeah, I saw that other thread. So you colored the bulb in the defroster switch too--how did you get the switch apart? I also use vleds.com; between that site and superbrightleds.com you can find just about anything.

    Headlight switch bulb

    Actually, the base is pretty easy to get out with a pair of needle nose pliers once you break the glass:D Looks like http://www.superbrightleds.com/ has bulbs that will fit (7mm round base). I'm ordering one and will let you know how it works.

    Headlight switch bulb

    Anyone know if this is removable? I'm replacing all my dash lights with red bulbs, but I can't get the bulb out of the headlight switch (and I can't believe that if the bulb burnt out, I would have to buy a whole new headlight switch...).

    Finally!

    The stripes are aftermarket. You can tell by looking at the NACA duct on the hood--stripes from the factory are painted down the sides of the cutout. Red/white was only available in 2002, on the Final Edition cars. And, as a totally unbiased observer who would never let the fact that he has...

    Stereo Time...

    The subs are 6.5". You'll have a lot of choices if you go with full-range, but subwoofers that small are scarce. I recently replaced my stock subs with Kicker CVT654's. MBQuart makes a 6.5", and so does Lanzar, but I don't know of anyone who has put them in. JL Audio also makes a 6.5" (6w3)...
