    New forum members-Introduction

    You might get a few more suggestions from around here if you listed what you are looking for...color, year, mileage, hardtop or not, A/C, upgrades and so on. Most importantly, price range you are willing to spend. There are some great deals around here right now. We all know how hard it is to...

    Might take the plunge, need some Viper advice

    Great looking car...congrats! Keep an eye on that AC. Mine gave me problems for most of the summer until I finally had a mechanic buddy replace those o-rings that everyone talked about. They got replaced and my buddy recommended replacing the dryer as well, $17, and its been ice cold since...

    Poll: Daily Driver yes or no...

    I counted my RT/10 as a daily driver, although I don't actually drive it daily...to work for example. I have a vehicle provided to me for work, so I don't drive any of my personal vehicles often. Like the above post, I use my motorcycle, 09 Concours 1400, for some trips, my Hummer for the ones...

    Took a road trip to Flagstaff

    Due to a Department of Justice investigation of Arizona DPS several years ago, they are now required by policy to write something for every traffic stop they make. That's why your buddy didn't get a verbal warning. Believe me, its much easier to give just a verbal warning. Let me know if you...

    The mountains and cliffs get pretty colorful at sunset. I should have taken this picture about an hour later.

    Sunset Viper Pics

    If I'm not lucky enough to live on a lake like Ted, I might as well work on one. I have a great view out my office window.

    Anyone want to join our run to Tombstone

    I'll try to get the day off to meet you guys down in Tucson on Saturday, but it might be tough. No weekends off during the summer. Thats the one downfall of my job but I'll see what I can do.

    Anyone want to join our run to Tombstone

    I realize the easy way is to go straight from Albuquerque to Tucson but the cooler and more scenic drive is through Gallup then on through the Show Low AZ area to Payson, then down through the Phoenix area.

    Anyone want to join our run to Tombstone

    What's your planned route gonna be? I'd love to see you guys pass through my neck of the woods (Phoenix area).

    My Birthday present to me (pics)

    Nice story and pics, now you're hooked and you'll own one before you know it. I never considered buying a Viper until I rented one on my wedding day. We were in Maui and stopped at a place to rent a Harley. I looked out back and saw that the place had a bunch of exotics for rent. I asked the...

    Quick fix for blower motor rubber seal

    Wow!!! Thanks for the timely write-up. I've been wanting to tackle this project for a while but haven't looked around for the parts. Mine looks much worse than yours so I'll be ordering the parts real soon. Thanks again.

    Which brand paint?

    I'm sure you have a Dupont supplier in your state. Check the yellow pages under body shop supplies. Whether the Dupont matches well or not, take a piece in for a custom match...reds are tricky and they always change color over time, regardless of how much sun they get.

    Which brand paint?

    If you are doing it yourself, take the gas door or some other easy to remove small part to a good paint supplier and have the paint matched with a photospectrometer. Most paint stores will usually have a guy there that can match the paint even closer from there by eye, but make sure they are...

    glass cleaner???

    Zaino has a fantastic glass polish. Goes on and off like a cream wax and cleans very well. No, I'm not one of the Zaino fanatics. I bought a sample pack of just about all of their products and the only ones that REALLY impressed me were the tire dressing, the leather conditioner, and the...

    need to sell 96 GTS

    Sorry to see you selling it so soon. I remember how excited you were when you got it. Good luck with the sale. I know how hard it is to sell nationwide this time of year but maybe you can find someone locally. This is the best time of year around here to own one.

    Diffuser and splitter build pics

    This is by far the most entertaining, interesting, and educational thread I've read here. I have to tell you that I was more than skeptical at the start of this but HOLY COW!!! The stuff you've fabricated with limited resources is incredible. Nice job. The whole setup looks great so far, I...

    What happened to Autoform?

    Agreed! Let's not lump all the Viper parts guys into one BAD heap. On the larger side, I've only dealt with JonB twice and customer service was top notch. Great things have been said about Tator, and look at all the free help he provides both over the phone and on this site. I bought windows...

    Looking for old Gen1 articles

    "You don't drive a Viper...you hang on. It's like driving an atom bomb." Classic. Thanks for posting that one.

    Paint bubbles

    If you want a top quality repair, look up 10th Street Auto Body. Unlike the name they are actually just north of 40th street and I10. If you go to their shop, you'll see why I recommend them. They work on some fantastic cars. I think the guys name is William. The Finishing Touch body...

    A liberal amount of detail spray applied to your microfiber towels will help lubricate and cut down on the scratches too.
