    Gas Cap - Left at Gas Station

    I suspect I'm not the only one who had done this, but I left the plastic gas cap sitting at the gas station yesterday. Can someone tell me if this cap is a generic piece common to a lot of other cars and something I can replace at my local Autozone/Pep Boys, or are the dimensions somehow Viper...

    Cabin Fills with Smoke ala Roger Moore scene in Cannonball Run - WTF?

    This morning while driving the GTS to work, white smoke began coming out of the defrost vents beneath the windshield, much to my shock and awe. After a couple minutes it got to the point where I could barely see out the windshield and I had to roll down the windows and pull over. After popping...

    Mysterious Overheating Problem - Please help

    Hopefully someone more knowledgable than my dealer can give me some advice. My 2000 GTS has started overheating in heavy traffic, which eventually means that I have to pull over. When I look under the hood, the fan is clearly not working. If I turn the car off and the ignition to the "on"...

    Cleaning K&N Filters

    A question on air filters. Do I need to buy the K&N cleaning kit for the K&N filters or is this a waste of money? Is the spray on oil of any value? Any reason not to just wash these with a mild dishwashing soap and water? Thanks.

    A Viper Morning

    What a great morning. Driving down Pine Tree on Miami Beach this a.m. I saw a really nice red RT/10 with HREs (I think)and some kind of wing on it parked on the side of the road. Then when I got to the causeway (195), what pulls up behind me but a steel gray RT/10. We proceed to play leap...

    Hood Emblem Stolen @#$!@#$%@#$%@#$%

    I'm so mad I can barely speak. Some no good, low life, s.o.b. decided to pry the viper emblem off the front of my car. Fortunately the paint looks more or less intact. Reminds me of the scene in Pulp Fiction where Vincent talks about the guy keying his Malibu, "it woulda been worth him doing...

    HELP - Am I being bamboozled?

    My car is at the dealer and they told me I need new brake pads (fine), but they also say that everytime I replace the pads they need to turn the rotors to "deglaze" them (or something like that) which of course they are charging me an arm and a leg for. Do I need this? Please help!

    Carfax - 2000 GTS

    Can anyone run a carfax for me on a 2000 GTS? VIN 1B3ER69E4YV605443 I'm trying to convince my buddy to sell his Porsche 993 and upgrade to a Viper, which after repeatedly punishing him at the stoplight shouldn't take too much convincing. Thanks!

    Yet another satisfied Doug Levin customer

    So I'm driving around Miami this afternoon when this guy in a beat up old black pickup truck waves at me to pull up next to him. Initially I think it's just some guy who wants to tell me the Viper is cool and nice and all that(it had already happened twice earlier in the day), but instead he...

    Insurance

    That's about what I'm paying with Progressive, but I live on Miami Beach, so rates here are higher than a lot of places. I'd be interested to know what the average owner is paying also. Mike 2000 GTS Grey/Black w/stripes

    First Time Owner - Picked it up today!

    Hi all. I just bought a 2000 GTS grey/black w/stripes. I'm so excited I can barely speak. I've already called and told everyone I know (a few of which were genuinely excited for me and a few others who feigned interest long enough to appease me). But I figured you guys (and girls) would...
