    2012 - 2013 - 2014 ....?????

    Unsafe driver - probably

    I seperated my right shoulder really badly last week. I need surgery as soon as possible which means in like a week (go figure.) I really wanted to drive my Viper today so I figured that I could drive gently with my left hand (I'm a righty.) It is a lot harder than I expected. I think I was...

    Brakes, rotors, clutch, etc.

    I was pretty pleased in that I got over 18,000 miles on my factory tires. I still have not had to replace anything else yet. I am at or over 20,000 miles now. What is the average/expected life on my brakes? Who has gotten what out of theirs? I don't hammer on the car all day every day but I...

    New Tires For SRT10 Convertible

    I need new tires (badly.) My tires are worn to the point that they will be racing slicks in a few thousand miles. Do any of you have suggestions? I hear Tire Rack mentioned often. What is the "cheapest" tire I can put on my car? I don't race the car, I just "drive" it pretty much as a daily...

    NEW TIRES???

    BADLY scraped tires

    Please HELP me! I was, in essence, run off the road today (NOT my fault either). I'll spare you the whole story but I ended up KILLLING my rims. Both front and rear on the passenger side have full circles of deep scraping (it looks like metal fiberglass.) What can I do short of buying new...

    The things that kids say . . .

    I think we could all take a little advice from my 5 year old (but not completely:).) We were just lying down on his bed playing with matchbox cars. I had a Hummer and he had a Corvette. I said to him, "You know, that car you have there is a Corvette." He said "So"? I said "The Corvette is...

    More powerful Viper? No, NOT the 2008!

    I was just speaking to a GM representative and he told me that the rumor around the Vette plant is that the Viper guys are already working, in earnest, on an egine bigger than the new 600HP. The new Vette is supposed to be 620 +/- and they say that a new Viper is slated to beat that number. I...

    Winterizing a Viper

    I think that I am going to winterize my viper this year. Any suggestions about what I should do? Additives, fuel level, battery, tire pressure, oil, anything that needs attention? Thanks for your help.

    Cruising RPMs?

    What RPM do most of you drive around. I'm not talking about when you're hammering on the car and I'm not talking about doing 80 in 6th gear at 1400 RPM. I mean day in day out normal driving. What would be your average cruising RPMs?

    Really ROUGH idle - almost stalls

    When I went to get my morning bacon, egg and cheese on a kaiser I was very alarmed when I started my car (both going and coming from the store.) When I started it both times it was a VERY, VERY rough idle. It was so rough that I really thought it was going to stall. It seemed to idle fine at...

    When is the "national" event?

    Is the national event around the same time every year? Is it always in the same place? How many cars show up, etc. Tell me a bit about it. If you want to tell me more by phone rather than writing out your answer, feel free to call me (443) 829-9320. I am on Eastern Standard Time (Maryland)...

    RE: Hit from Behind @ a stop light & Insurance Co. Issues

    Some of you may have seen an earlier post of mine about being hit from behind and the fact that ther was SO little damage. Well I am getting a hard time from the insurance company (mine believe it or not) about the "damage." The body shop told them, much to my verbal disagreement, that all...

    Hit from behind at a stoplight !

    My wife and I were out for a nice, warm, fall, night drive on Saturday night. We were sitting at a light (with almost NO traffice) and I see a car coming up behind me. It looked as if it were going pretty fast. I assumed the person was going to stop though (there was still plenty of room.) Well...

    Vanity Plate Confirmed

    I'm sorry to waste space with a stupid thread but I gotta tell you, I'm pretty excited about my new license plate confirmation. There were a few that I tried that were already taken. This was actually my "fifth" choice. I want to know if anyone out there would know what it meant if they were...

    No Front Plate in a Front Plate Required State

    I was really bummed this weekend when I got a $60 ticket for not having a front plate on my car. I consider it a (somewhat) fair deal considering the day before an officer let me off for doing Mach 10. I am still annoyed and, more disturbing, I am gun shy about taking my car out. I'm afraid...

    Funny "Cop" Stories...

    Post your favorite cop story. I'll give 2 quick examples. The first was when I lived in Florida (like 10 years ago). I took the car out, of all places, to go bass fishing. I had run way later that I had promised my wife. So to make it up to her I ran to the local florist and picked up a...
