New WA Viper owner

[70chall440]

thought I would pop in and say hi. I am new to the forum but not to Mopars. Hopefully I can attend some western WA viper events.

Welcome!
What kind of car did you pick up? What area are you in?
I think you find we also have some other interesting Mopars and other toys.

 

[70chall440]

I am in Yelm (Western WA). I bought a 01 Yellow ACR. I also have a stable of Mopars to include 2 E bodies, an 01 yellow Ram, 99 Dak, 91 Stealth RT and 05 Hemi Durango.

 

[C-Note]

You sound like my kind of people, hope to see you out at some of the events!!

 

[70chall440]

absoultely. I am looking forward to it.

Your fleet reflects your YELLOW FEVER as some here have, eh Paul and Paul?

I also have had a Yellow ACR, 2 yellow Rams, and an SRT-4 Yellow...but my 2 Stealth TTs were black and are Blue/White GTS striped (tape, as you plan.)

Please Join VCA 1-800-998-1110 if you have not (says you are!)...........and call PartsRack soon! CONGRATS

I did join last week. My partner greg B. from Lakewood recommends you. In fact I am in need of 1 ACR sticker for the right side of my car; part of the little flag is gone.

Welcome 70chall440~~GREAT pictures of your awesome yellow (rare color?) GTS. VERY cool also on the Stealth RT~~GREAT car as well, and nice stable!!! ~juli

 

[70chall440]

thanks. I believe that there were 38 mono yellow ACR's built. The stealth is getting a little long in the tooth and is in need of a rebuild or replacement I think. Too many cars and not enough time.

That is such a gorgeous color yellow...guess it IS rare if only 38 ACR's were made in that color! Hey, the Stealth may be getting old, but look at RTTTED's 2 Stealths he has...they were and ARE a great car...love 'em. Wow, probably most people wish they had that problem, 'too many cars, not enough time' !! Just ENJOY~~when you can in the inclement weather you probably get as well as we do... ...cars sleeping away covered up in the garage with 1 1/2 feet of snow outside on top of ice.... ....driving season cannot come soon enough! Congrats on your gorgeous Viper. ~juli

 

[SmokinViperGTS]

Glad to see that you've got the color-matched Viper / RAM combo!
I wonder how many of us that makes now? 4? 5?

 

[70chall440]

we need to stage an event to show them all together.

 

[C-Note]

I have a matching ram as well.

 

[Y2K10 SRT#39]

Well so do I....How about that-
Oh the 07 Caliber matches too!

I'm in Olympia, so It's GREAT to hear there are more cars down here. You are the third in Yelm, and there are 3-4 others in the general area (not all are members).

Look me up in the phone book and give me a shout when you get a chance! I've sent you a PM.

PBR

[Scotty-tnt]

I do have to admit yellow is one of the hottest colors...


Welcome!

 

[Venomiss]

Maybe you seen this already but if you haven't yet:

VCA Home

Get involved and go on some cruises in your area!

Yellow is a great color It's the fastest one....

 

[70chall440]

I have seen it but it seemed that it wasn't updated. I see the note about the meeting so I guess it is.

 

[Two R/Ts]

Nice ACR, I live in Yelm also. Another Viper in Yelm Amazing.

Is yours Red with "Viper" across the windshield?

 

[Two R/Ts]

That would be me, 98 R/T 10, bought about 3 years ago. Seen a black SRT 10 in Rochester area, also Pauls VCA editon Yellow Roadster in Olympia. Also have a friend with a SRT 10 coupe Black with silver stripes who lives in Tacoma area. Not many of us around in south puget sound.

 

[70chall440]

Cool. I belive you actually live pretty close to me. I live down on 93rd, I have seen you drive down here once or twice. I have a buddy that has a red 01 GTS in Tacoma and another buddy with a Gen I RT/10 (not sure where he lives). Other than that I dont know anyone who has one.

 

[Two R/Ts]

93rd you are really close, I live just off Burnett road. I used to blow out the carbon on 93rds long straight away. Not anymore though I dont want be a nuisance LOL

 

[70chall440]

LOL, no worries. Between my viper, vette, all of the other cars I have that is not an issue. Not to mention all of the kids that seem to live down the road that want to drive 100 mph. I have done a burn out or two there.

I have not even registered my car yet, just had an appraisal done yesterday. As soon as I get it back I am off to the DMV to make them rich (or me poor).

 

[Two R/Ts]

Yeah! I had to cough up a extra $ 4000 to have it registered in the state for taxes! LOL

 

[RTTTTed]

Welcome. We, in the Western Canada Region are your neighbors! On Father's Day there is a Show & Shine which is pften attended by Wash. cars. Hope to meet you there.

I've also got "too many cars", but not enough garages (only 6 car spaces). I drive my modified Stealth R/T TT throughout the year, and a stocker TT as a spare. I've got a 500hp 440 Duster that I take out once a year for the local rodeo.

Lol, none of them are color matched though.

Excellent!! I too have a stealth (NA) that my son drives and a 440-6 Challenger RT and a 73 cuda under construction. I am have an issue with the stealth however it "surges" under acceleration.

Replace it with a TT, you won't regret it.

There's a "western Cda 3si" club with many members in Vancouver. My Stealth and one of the 3si members ES Stealth were featured in Domestic Driver - A bi-monthly online magazine featuring Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, and GM Cars from 1980+ magazine this month's issue.

I've also got a 71 340 4 spd Demon project that has "stalled out" during the last few years, since I bought the Viper, sitting in one of my garages. Trying to sell it.
