Is anyone near Oconowoc, Wisc.? I'm told it's about 25 miles west of Milwaukee.

Found a 2000 Viper, 3K miles - Dealer report shows
Jan 2002 - 700 miles - rear axle assembly replaced
May 2002 - 900 miles - Right bank rocker arm replaced, battery replaced
May 2002 - 900 miles - rear axle assembly replaced
May 2002 - 900 miles - reenforcement recall completed

Does anyone think it's odd this Viper has its third rear end? Wouldn't you think someone is hammering it at an early age? Wonder why a half shaft isn't broke? Also, interesting it's driven 200 miles in Wisconsin in Jan-May. Don't they salt the roads in winter?

I am about 30 Minutes from Oconomowoc, what did you want? Somebody to go look at it for you? They salt the he!! out of the roads in the winter, would never drive mine in the winter.

Hell Dwayne,

I just move the plow, gather a little cow dung for traction on my tires and use goat manure to remove the salt after pulling her out in the snow.

Ya, know, dang boy, dat how we dos it up north hey.

Remember that race we had last December in Oconomowoc? I just got the deer cleaned out from under my front end! She's running fine now, hitin' on 6 of 10 cylinders!

Yep, I's got the labergini ready for a run this Winta! You reddy boy?

Go Packers!

Yea... my dad doesn't even pull it out of the garage until after it's rained for a couple weeks in the spring, and it's put away well before the first salt.

Hopefully they just took it for a long drive in the last week of may?

IEATVETS, I'll take you up on that if everyone doesn't think I'm an idiot for buying it knowing the above.

OK, No one seems to think I should be freaked out over the warranty work.

IEATVETS, Do you think I could hook you up with the owner to check it out? It is supposedly flawless so it would be easy to see if that's not true. Flawless to me is truely flawless.

Maybe he's ice racing it...



Sounds like too many holeshots to me if it's been through 2 rear ends.
