    UPS Claim VICTORY

    You will never see my Viper in our UPS parking lot. Too many part timers coming and going and they pack our parking lots like sardines. I would have so many door dings and would worry constantly leaving it in the lot. So most of the drivers, management etc. do not drive their nicer cars to...

    UPS Claim VICTORY

    I agree that they all have problems but statistically it is a very small percentage when the overall volume is factored in. Of course it doesn't seem that way when it happens to you. I don't know why you brought up what I make or what YOU THINK I make or where you ever got 50K from. Your 50k...

    UPS Claim VICTORY

    Yeah...I guess just like when we went on strike about 8 years ago. We virtually brought commerce to a screaching halt. Everyone scrambled to find new shippers and were very upset(understandably). I, for one did not agree with the strike. These irate customers swore they would never use UPS...

    backup lights

    Mine were out on my 98 GTS with 2,200 miles when I first bought the car. Finally got around to having switch replaced when Chuck did my frame recall work at 5,500 miles. Inexpensive to replace switch but apparently a very common problem.

    I have to agree. Are you slipping the clutch or using it as a brake on hills? I know it's not comparing apples to apples but I got 140,000 on my Mustang and clutch was still good when I sold it. I have 130,000 on a Toyota pickup, still original clutch. I only have 5,900 miles on Viper but...
