New Car Mileage Question?
don't think i will buy a used viper i was being conversational more than anything, however. my feelings are different on a used viper than a new one and the prices of the used vipers reflect that difference. i would not pay 105k for a used viper, but i would pay 50k for a pre 2003 acr to play...- markbrown

ok i am leaning towards a new acr but i am ashamed to have a daily driver with a airplane wing on the back. i was thinking of a light blue, metallic red, white, black, possibly green - all possibly with silver or white stripes. i like the single driver strip on the acr rather than the whole...- markbrown
