    (yet another) new owner

    Has anyone tried Wheels America in Los Angeles?

    I used Wheels America (Stanton) on all four of my wheels when I purchased my BMW. The previous owner had an attraction for curbs. They were pretty banged up. They came out like new. The only thing I noticed is the clear coat had some orange peel. I talked with them and they took care of it...

    Service at dealership

    I agree with Frank to a degree on this one. Luckily Dave Jenkins is around to take care of my Viper, however, you average dealer mechanic shouldn't be trusted. I recently had my boat serviced by the dealer. I am at their mercy for the drive maintenance because it has to come out of the water...

    LURKERS, Un-LURK ! We need your participation!

    You are in the range. There is a fairly large market for Vipers in Southern California and the dealers can usually get a little more out of us poor soles than out of state dealers. Don't worry about the cost. The constant smile you will have on your face is well worth it. See you on the 405! Larry

    Fiancee wants a Vette over Viper :(

    When I was looking for a new sports car I asked my wife what she thought about a new Corvette. Her answer was, "Are you kidding, Vettes are for old guys with gold chains and shirts buttoned to their belly buttons and for women." Being a former Vette owner, I was a little taken back by her...

    Kevin, Some (not all) Southern California dealers will do or say anything to sell you a Viper, 5 star or not. I have about the same mileage on my Viper and don't have any of the signs of wear or paint problems that you mention. If you post your VIN, I can run a free carfax for you. It...
