    Viper mileage whining

    Almost every thread now about a Viper being for sale has a comment from someone talking about how high the mileage is. At what point in the history of our cars do we let go of whining about a car someone is looking at being "high mileage" because it has... OH MY GOD!!!!... 20K miles on it. I...

    Hurricane prepping the GTS

    Well, as Earl approaches me here on the coast of North Carolina, I guess I will figure out what I need to do to prep the GTS for the winds. Actually, she should be pretty safe. When I built the house, they required I install a hurricane resistant garage door and windows. I'll put my cover on...

    Baby's first Viper ride.

    I took my 11 month old grandson for his first Viper ride today. I put a blanket on the leather, turned off the airbag, and strapped him in. He enjoyed it, mostly just staring at me, wondering what the beeping (V1) was all about. I got a lot of stares and finger pointing when folks saw the baby seat!

Club members who know of this car say he has only had it a few weeks. As far as we know, he is not VCA, but we wish...

    Sneaky Pete 3'rd brake lite now illegal in NC?

    When I got my GTS inspected today, the inspector said that due to a new law in North Carolina regarding anything covering the lite emmisions on the 3'rd brake lite, he is supposed to fail my Viper because it has the Sneaky Pete emblem in it. I told him that is how it comes from the factory and...

    Western Fl. Vipers?

    I was just in Destin and Fort Walton Beach for a few days last week and commented to my wife how I was surprised that we had not seen 1 Viper in our time there. We stayed at the Comfort Inn in Destin and when we left the Hotel at 4AM on Sunday morning, only 2 parking spots from our 300C was a...

    When the repairs were recently completed to my GTS after my run in with a deer, I had the shop add Graphite stripes. They are vinyl and they match the coloring in the sneeky Pete emblem on the nose. I'm pretty happy with the result. The photos were taken by Andy Stacy and Brennan Mckissick...

    Deer VS. '99 GTS

    This could have and should have been a lot worse. The deer jumped from the trees on a twisty 2 lane country road. I was doing about 45 when she jumped from the trees on the passenger side. I took out her legs, she slid up the hood, and slamed into the windshield, spinning her back into the...

    High speed fan issue.

    2009 Car tax shock

    Shocked...but in a good way. My car tax bill for the Viper was $79.04 for 2009! The county I live in puts the tax value at 24K. I know many of you don't have to pay property tax, but several of my friends in Virginia (less than 3 miles from my house) have to pay more than 10X what I pay. House...
