    My first weekend as a car salesman???

    A weekend of learning it was, being a business owner I knew better but must have had a mental lapse.. Found that pricing your Viper at rock bottom $45g does not mean it will sell easier than selling it for more (I thought it would be done by now).. Anyway I returned to Park Place Ltd. and...

    Front plate tastes like spinach??

    Heard a god awful noise while I was cruising down Lakecity Way Monday and seeing something blue breaking up behind me didn't help the ticker either.. So I stopped and checked out the car at the next street and was unable to determine what I just ran over.. Decided to turn back to look and...

    Thunderhill was fun & un-nerving

    An very wild and NICE track indeed; Spent much of the day Saturday just learning those blind trust hills with corners (2 of them off camber). If a cornerworker would have just twitched I probably would have reacted to it.. Did have a couple kinda' close calls due to other drivers watching the...

    Going nuts!! Viperdays or no Viperdays

    Got a dilemma; I want to put my wallet away for the rest of the year and drop the flow to a trickle but folks have really pumped up the Viperdays as being a Premier event with the best drivers around to tango with... It would undoubtedly be a ego bruising but the latter has me really wanting...

    Does 600 miles in 3 years make a slow car?

    If you're not just shredding your tires to all heck by slamming the pedal to the floor in first without the clutch you got to make that thing breath and you may want to get a american version of the ECM.. My car shreds them in 2nd if I do the same..

    Lower car for 1 inch

    I personally went with the Eibach Pro Kit 1" lower springs and kept my stock Konis, I am very impressed with the ride, turn in and added stability.. In fact the ride is so much different it took a little getting used to but it works much, much better than stock, the gap between the tires and...
