    Strange noise

    Sorry I have been away...The noise is not from the speakers..I just meant to give some idea of the noise..I turned off the radio and it was still there...so it was odd...I would agree with normal Tranny noise if I have heard it before...I am very aware of my car and the noises so---I am aware of...

    RaceDeck Garage flooring?

    I put the Race Deck down about 3 years ago--must have been the easiest "Handy-man" thing I have ever done...But would reccommend a table saw to make it that way. The tiles rip down real easy for an exact fit---but...in the summer the tiles will swell, so leave some room on the ends for that...

    01' Sapphire RT/10.... To Stripe, or not to Stripe?

    I painted Ghost stripes on mySapphire '01 and they are killer---the plain color just got to looking---tired??? not the right word, but wanted to renew the car--and the solid color strips were too much. With the Ghost stripes you get the plain look of the solid color but when you get close you...

    I recently repainted my 2001 RT/10--I also wanted something differant--but not Crazy--So I added some Ghost stripes--try to add a pic, but not good at that stuff...I kept the same color and simply added a pearl ghost strip...Very sharp--but not overstated!!

    Best Paint Shops in North Jersey

    I am currently thinking about either upgrading the '01 RT to a NEW '08 or getting some work done--new Stereo w/Sat and Nav. New paint with ghost strips, and of course the required engine work to get the HP closer to the '08. I really like the Gen II body style and would like to keep it--But feel...

    Car's smoking

    Car\'s smoking I drove my car into my garage after a 30 minute drive home. All of a sudden I shut her off and the smoke starts pouring out of the hood, on the passengers side. I pop the hood and there appears to be antifreeze all over. There appears to be some type of switch with hoses on...

    Rear Window Rattle

    OK I guess I'll go with the electrical tape--sounds like a quick fix--I have tried the radio and the engine revs--and they both work--but when the wife gets in the car, the volume of both gets turned down and all I hear is the rattle--unfortuantely it's coming from both the passenger seat and...

    Got in an accident..your estimate on damage by photos

    The worst part is now that you are Ok and no one was hurt--having to deal with the car damaged and the grief and cr@p you will have to endure. I was traveling home the other night on I-78 and had some nut behind me either right on my tail or 15 car lengths back. All of a sudden the traffic in...

    How late into the season do you all drive???

    I could not image putting the car into storage for any period of time. I do not think I could go more the a few weeks, if that--maybe days, without a drive--even a quick one. It really does change the mind-set real quick and always for the better. Yea the snow s@cks and the salt get all over...

    Fun non-racing thing to do in you Viper

    This is a topic I have been wondering about for awhile. My kids--ten year old twin boys--think nothing of the viper--"Oh -- dad's car---ooowww--yea right--I like the P.T. Cruiser" I hear this all the time. Their friends are mostly in awe of the car and treat it with respect. How can you...

    Any Recommendations On Where I Should Get Insurance In New Jersey?

    I have been with NJ Manufacturers through my business. Pay under 1200 a year full coverage---500 deductiable. They would only take you if have access through some kind of business--at one time--thought they were changing that though. No charge for points---Big plus with a car like this. I...

    Why is it no matter how down or p1ssed-off I am feeling---5 minutes behind the wheel and the smile is back, the songs on the radio are better, the whole world seems just that much better???
