    Got some custom side rocker / sill covers for my RT/10

    Randy from www.zero-altitude-flight.com is a great guy to chat with, definitely an old school muscle car fellow too. They made up some covers, anodized, they have other colors if you check out the Sill/Dress Plate section, the logo is cut into the aluminum and they have a bonded on plastic...

    Preventative tip regarding the window reg clip breaking - Lubricating the assembly

    My passenger window was going slow..... I could sense the tension inside the assembly potentially breaking the clip if I forced the window up and down. The tension is surely due to lack of lubrication and not being used that often (especially the passenger side), having slight corrosion in the...

    Pics of my neighbor's new McLaren and my RT/10

    Stopped in to say a hi to our new countryside neighbor, what a great guy, even said that I could take it out for a drive after meeting him for the first time.

    Solution to fix popping Gen2 factory subwoofer

    My rear center subwoofer speaker was making a popping sound and I didn't want to get an aftermarket speaker if I had to.... especially with an aftermarket grille, so I checked out a local high end home audio shop, they have a technician that comes in to fix speakers, such as replacing the outer...

    Wind the clock forward 5 years, think there will be more used Gen 5 Vipers available?

    Just a thought tonight... but historically many were totalled, even right off the dealer's lot due to spinning out into a pole or whatever. Having traction, launch and stability control, the thought being that this may reduce the number of incidents damaging the car, resulting in a higher...

    GenV design feature that I'm getting tired seeing copied in vehicle designs lately...

    Here's an example when automotive companies copy unique body design features (as they historically do..), and I think Audi started the fad decades ago, but was on the Honda NSX, etc.. and earlier BMWs, someone can surely do some google research if interested... It's that flat wheel opening edge...

    Dodge Viper, Ford Fox body and a Chevy Mouse?

    Perhaps a silly post related to animal names... pics taken about 1/2 hour ago... so I'm looking out the front window and this fox comes to the porch to eat some dog food, I grab the camera, the fox stops, listens...... runs out to the field and comes right back to the food bowl with a mouse (and...

    Plastic engine covers look terrible..

    It makes the engine look cheap, surely there's some that may agree?, as it's nice to open up the hood or clamshell to look and appreciate a good looking engine, the mechanicals, cast parts, painted, but not plastic engine covers.. and a plastic intake manifold? Plastic engine covers hide a mess...

    Spring season reflection pics, winter is over!

    Well, I took the beast out for 2011. I spent some time polishing it over the winter, read about Junkman's advice which was very helpful (and thank you), and here's some pics to share. I was playing around today, took the dirt bike out for a spin and then the Viper. :drive: Image rotated...

    ACRX package - History repeats itself
