    "Poser" or "Racer"

    \"Poser\" or \"Racer\" I admit it....I'm a poser (no intentions of "tracking" the car) and have no qualms with the "racers" (maybe a little earlier in my life). Now I know that even though you race you, somewhat, pose (in addition to wanting to win)....so what brought you to the viper. Speed...

    How many Vipers are daily drivers?

    I shouldn't reply to this thread....kinda what is the meaning of life. To use an old "cliche"...different strokes for different folks. We all have our reasons for what we do (or don't) with our cars..Vipers or others.

    EBC Greens....dust free (almost) for me

    Installed my EBC Greens this week, and after 100 miles I am impressed with how clean my wheels are staying.

    On Jack Stands for a week in "Shakey Town"....Advice?

    Re: On Jack Stands for a week in There are several "threads" citing the "y" and "k"? locations on the frame as the best supporting points. The frame (as I gather) is so stiff, that it would be difficult to cause any real damage. When you "look" under the car for a good "support"...

    Used car dealer didn't disclose accident- NEED ADVICE!

    Re: Used car dealer didn\'t disclose accident- NEED ADVICE! If the dealer is "upstanding", have him take the car back and refund your money. I'm sure they'll say they didn't know about the damage, however, this is BS, since they do this for a living and should know how to "check out" cars...
