    Well we did not get an arena but they gave us a viper

    Brutal concourse with no room and only 16,800 seats. Very tight for the seat room as well. It's time for new building although no one wants to pay for it.

    Well we did not get an arena but they gave us a viper

    Yes 2easy, and as a born and raised Edmontonian we really suck this past few years. As a long time season ticket holder I guess I have the privilage of financing the "re-building" stage of this team. Hope the flames make it out of the first round this year........

    Well we did not get an arena but they gave us a viper

    This was an article yesterday in one of our daily newspapers in Edmonton Canada. The artist must have a viper as it is so different from the other cars he posted and or he knew what would attract attention. Rob

    Canada $ Strong, Eh?

    I for one Jon will be calling you up when I pick up the beast next week. It would probably be a suprise to a few that Canada purchases more goods from the USA than any other country including the EU, China or Japan. In the spirt of that and decent dollar I will as you say "shop till you drop"

    666 = Bad News

    anything with 666 makes me a bit uncomfortable even though I'm not superstitious. I met my wife on Friday the 13, we move to condo unit - suite 13, then I started 25 years ago with the company that I am still with and on the first day they advised me I would be handling region 13. Helped me...

    back thing with the fins

    Curious as to why the bottom (facia?) on 08 coupes are either painted to match the car or a flat black? Don't know what it's actually called but the thing with the fins. Was there an option or was it a production change? Thanks Rob

    2 Dead in Viper Crash: :(

    PittsS2B - You really don't have an idea as to what happened or what went wrong (maybe mechanical or tire blow out...)so your statement about the fellow is way to harsh. Not rationalizing speeding on the street but who knows exactly what happened. If anyone hit a tree that size at even 40 miles...

    Transportation Company and Local Inspection

    Although I was fixed on a new 08 Coupe (Venom Red) on the Westcoast of Canada, I did find another exact same 08 with about 3000 miles, stripes, for about $10K less. It has about 14 months warranty left, exact same spec to a "t", with the adition of white stripes which is what I would have added...

    Awesome MotorTrend Classic Viper Article

    Saw and bought the magazine this weekend at a drug store of all places. Motor Trend did a great job. The Shelby Cobra article was cool and they did the Vipers justice.

    Breaking in a Gen IV

    Venomiss, as much as I would like to take the icefields parkway don't think I have a chance until another few months. HSSSSSS, about that yellow, I will make sure that I have a pair of sunglass's handy when I am blinded by the sun like light reflection. I am sure that's what slows down the...

    Breaking in a Gen IV

    Great advice everybody and Much appreciated. Looks like I will have to take out the 993 in my VCA name (911 reference to the last air cooled cars) and make it relevant when I become a full member. Have not been this excited in a long time. Have printed out Venomiss and Steve-Indy's notes and...

    Breaking in a Gen IV

    Thank you Venomiss. Should have picked that thread out. If I do drive it I will look a bit strange following some of the instructions but hey I will have lots of time to make it back safely.

    Breaking in a Gen IV

    Hello all, I gave a deposit on a new 2008 coupe and expect to pick it up in about two weeks. It's located about 600 miles away. The drive back to where I live is spectacular and through the Rockies for the most part, and I would love to drive it back versus shipping it. Need advise on a...

    Help!!! need some opinions on the viper for my next car

    Good advice Wildasp and thanks. I have been lurking for months and reading studying every aspect of the viper so I will be ready for the Gen IV that I should have next month. I guess it's like reading about what an orange tastes like versus actually doing it but might as well be prepared. I...

    Viper drive that starts with Attempted Vehicular Manslaughter and ends with Police

    Re: Viper drive that starts with Attempted Vehicular Manslaughter and ends with Polic Better that Mark turned around and followed him. What happens if he did not bother and this nutcase goes after the next "guy" or "mom" that is being taught a lesson and this time he kills someone. Probably...

    Picking the right one

    MarcRoth: It's CND. Great selection in the USA but Dodge voids warranty on both sides of the border If you try to register a USA car in Canada. Pythonpete: I agree, it looks great and with future white stripes if I was to buy.

    Watch This / Tires

    Appreciate seeing this thread the first time. I was a long time Rennlister who like other forum people get cranky easy if they have been around a long time on a board. Kind of like an entitlement to cry foul with reposts ...etc :) As a newbie I have read hundreds of posts and trying to read...

    Stability Control and my 2009 SRT crash

    If you are looking for an interesting read check out this thread about the Porsche CGT and the use of net nannies. I started it from page 2 but the whole thing is a good read. And oh, there is a Ferrari viewpoint as well. CGT - Why the "monster" reputation? - Rennlist Discussion Forums
