    Seasnake Totalled

    I just went through the same thing. Awful experience, about 5 wks of misery dealing with body shops, appraisers, insurance companies, rental car agencies etc, but lo and behold it all worked out quite well. My silver '99 coupe, 5k miles (bolt on mods) got T-boned by a stop-sign running...

    OMG-it happened, in the DITCH

    Ouch! Condolences. This is, however, the most classic form of entry into the viper crasher's club. The elements are: 1.) Gen 1. (They LOVE to oversteer). 2.) On old sh*tty original tires. 3.) On COLD old sh*tty original tires. 4.) While giving a friend a ride. (a wee bit of showing off...

    Need help with insurance

    Allstate, 43yrs old, clean record, $950/yr. However, when I got my new '01 they said "Oh, we don't insure vipers anymore, but since it's a carry-over from your previous viper we'll still cover you." Very bad vibes here, sounds like their lawyers are crouching and ready to spring should anyone...

    Superchip- your experience!!

    I wouldn't use them again. Put one on my cobra mustang and within a couple months it fried the ECU. It was a piggyback ROM that connected to the ECU's test access port. There was no switch to disable the onboard ROM, so it was just overdriving the bus - which was a bad thing to do. The ROM...

    Saphire Blue or Yellow

    I feel your pain (HA!) Just went through exactly the same choice dilemma. I thought the blue looked good, but just a shade too dark. With any dirt or dust on it at all you do a double take - "Hey, what color is that? Is it black, or what?". On the other hand I was worried about the yellow...

    maybe some serious/mature advice?

    spoiler, I'm going to give you the blunt objective observations and advice that you asked for. You may not like what you hear but you have to understand that this is NOT meant to insult you. 1. You are too immature to drive. Same goes for most 16 year olds, and I'm pretty certain from the...

    is my car running TOO hot?? HELP!!

    Had same problem during the summers with my '95. Replaced the fan with the '99 fan (at the recommendation of my viper tech) and all was well.

    Test Drive Joke?

    Yeah I got that snotty put-down stuff when I bought my '95. Walked in looking like I always look (homeless ), T-shirt, jeans and running shoes. I stood around the viper on the showroom floor for about 30 minutes waiting for a salesman to come talk to me with no luck. Finally I just collared...

    dont take what u have for granted!

    My first was a '53 Chevy pickup that I bought for $175. Rust-red primer job and a fire-ant mound under the rotting carpet on the passenger's side. When I ripped up the carpet I found that it was also serving as the floorboards ... big gaping rust holes that you could see through to the road...

    Just Got My New BumbleBee Viper From Woodhouse

    2001 GTS, yellow w/black stripes! Been viperless since my '99 got splattered last month ... was gettin the sweats and shakes. I LOVE the yellow/blk look! Was really skeptical about the new yellow ... no offense but I never liked the genI yellow. Too pale and wimpy looking. Hadn't seen any...

    The Vomit Viper Is Back On Ebay

    hmmm, maybe I could broker a deal to get ebay vomit-boy to trade even with ebay a$$-kick boy. That's what he deserves for pimpifying a viper.

    Where Are The Visor Mirrors!?!?

    It's a bada$$ street-legal race car, not a rolling boudoir. Tell her to date a pimp if she wants soft cushy monkey fur with lights and mirrors.

    HEROIC PASSENGERS....

    "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Don't know why this popped into my head ... I'm not even religious, but I do know where it came from and it's as true as it is timeless. I believe the U.S. Congress bestows the medal of honor on military...
