    OK, who's hiding out in AZ w/ a white viper?

    What a pal! But what should I do with all the cash I have hidden from my wife in the trunk? Can you hold on to that for me too?

    OK, who's hiding out in AZ w/ a white viper?

    I don't think there's too many around here. I've got a 96 white/blue but I took the tacky Mopar sticker off last night, so it's not me:dunno: . I know there used to be another one like mine in Avondale a couple years ago, but that on the other side of town. It's probably a newer model, yeah...

    96 RT/10 Sportbar pad

    That was it, I withdrew as well. If I find a decent price on more than one I'll let you know. Chuck, thanks for the quote, but that's a bit steep for a piece of plastic. I'll keep looking.

    Was that you I was bidding against on Ebay a couple of weeks ago?

    Angel Eyes Headlights?

    I thought these were cheesy, Ebay, ricer add-ons until Chad sold me on them. Do they sell 'em at Hooters? I'll take an order of hot wings with a side of Angel Eyes. That way you get your glowing halo at one end or the other. Now that's some good marketing.

    Who orders from Carstuff.com - corsa exhaust

    Give him another try. The first time I called him he was a bit short with me but he explained that he was on the other line long distance and asked me to call him back. I called back about ten minutes later and he spent quite a bit of time answering some questions and making sure the stuff I...

    Who orders from Carstuff.com - corsa exhaust

    Despite the warning I gotta agree...JonB. I've been having some difficulties with an order (not his fault) but he's been great throughout (even on Monday). He probably thinks I'm pissed about it but he and the supplier have been great with the customer service and e-mail responses. At this...

    Oil change intervals

    Tom, thanks for the answer on the Hummer, it cleared things up a bit...then you lost me again with the last line of the second post, when you said "not too early". Is there a problem with changing your oil too much? Second question, and maybe this one is for Chuck Tator or anyone with the...

    MI: Woodward Dream Cruise Ticket, legal question

    Nice pics, thanks. I'd trade my Viper in a heartbeat for that Yenko Camaro. I also like the BMW Isetta with the V8 in it.

    MI: Woodward Dream Cruise Ticket, legal question

    Agreed, and if everything in the original post is true, those are the guys that give my profession a bad name. Were you parked on a public street? Are there signs or any city ordinances that prohibit what you were doing? If you were on private property, again, were there signs telling you so...

    Clearcoat problem: Please Help!!

    It looks to me like someone used a very harsh cleaner on those wheels. Most of the wheel cleaners you buy at the local auto parts stores are way too strong and can do some damage to the clearcoat. The above posts are correct, strip the clearcoat off and get them recoated. Have somebody do it...

    Questions from a prospective Viper buyer ( Eventually anyway)

    In my opinion, it mostly depends what appeals to you. If you're not going to drive the car that much and it's just a "toy" for an occasional Sunday drive, get the car that most appeals to you. Do the added accessories really matter? Maybe...to me, I don't care about the "technology" added in...

    Has anyone run into Water Based Paints being used yet?

    Funny stuff about the plants, I like that. The problem all the manufacturers had in the early 90 with the peelers was basically an EPA issue. The EPA gave the manufacturers a set amount of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) in pounds that they were allowed to release from each plant. Based on...

    Oil change intervals

    While you're on here Tom, here's a question I've been wanting to ask our resident expert. My Hummer is equipped with the oil life calculator/computer/indicator, whatever you want to call it. Each month I get a report from Onstar telling me the oil life remaining, or I can just check the dash...

    Has anyone run into Water Based Paints being used yet?

    Water based paints are a nightmare, but due to EPA regulations they will unfortunately be the only option in coming years for both OEM and refinish. Some of the US manufacturers have been using water for years, mostly on primers, but the technology just hasn't advanced enough to match the...

    Rotting Rear Window Gasket

    I'm sorry to say that a couple people got in on this great deal, but the few that were left are gone...the supply dried up and she now tells me they only have one more available for a substantially higher price. Jon B's price is better. Anyway, for those of you who got in on the deal, great...

    Anyone drop MB Quarts 6.5 in their Gen II GTS?

    I just think I could get a cleaner, more powerful bass with even a couple of 6" subs there instead of the coax speakers. It's a noticable improvement over the stock system as is, but I think it could be better.

    stripes

    I believe that 96 was the only year they used decals under the clearcoat.

    Total RT/10 Production

    Interesting question, and one I wondered about as well since the last edition of Viper Magazine. Pages 18 and 19 list all the Vipers and VCA members for each state as well as Canada and Europe. I'm assuming this data for the total number is based on registration records. Not broken down into...

    Anyone drop MB Quarts 6.5 in their Gen II GTS?

    Similar to above, I had the local stereo shop install MB Quart speakers in mine. They replaced the door speakers and tweeters and the two subs with MB Quart 6.5s. Also replaced the stock amps with one Rockford Fosgate. I'm very happy with the door speakers, they look exactly the same as the...

    I got rid of some of the junk, but most of that stuff fit in the cabinets.

    Garage Flooring ..

    I had a company come out and put down the epoxy coating and some cabinets in my garage about two years ago. Daily traffic from some very hot Arizona tires, metal wheeled floor jack dragged around once in a while, not a scratch or chip yet. I paid extra to have them do a couple coats of...

    wheel clear coat

    There are only a few automotive clearcoats that are actually designed apply directly to aluminum without a bonding clear. PPG used to make one, probably still does but its been years since I worked for them. I believe the part number was DX80 or something like that, square can with a purple...

    Grease nipples on GEN2 GTS?

    When I cleaned out the wheel wells and greased my Gen 1.5 (Gen 2 suspension) I only found 3 at each corner. Let me know if I'm missing something.
