    Just Picked Up Rare 1:24 silver RT/10!

    You will like it up close. The red safety harness has a nice contrast to the seat color. The gold wheels (well, you can guess how I feel about gold wheels) look great.

    Just Picked Up Rare 1:24 silver RT/10!

    I already have the #3075. I keep them in original form. If you were suggesting that to duplicate my car, I already have a Burago 1:24 GTS that is solid red with gold wheels. I bought it loose, so I don't know the model number. One of these days, I need to take a picture, but I hate to take...

    Calendar updates

    How do events get added to the VCA Calendar at National Calendar | Viper Club of America Calendar System Over the next several months, I only see events for Colorado, Gateway, and Minnesota regions. Is it the regional officers who can update this calendar or only someone from HQ? It would be...

    Just Picked Up Rare 1:24 silver RT/10!

    In the Maisto line, I've only been collecting the GTS's. I recently picked up a 3-pack of Maisto's, but they were 2 GTS's and the Concept Car. I'm waiting for it to arrive. MAISTO 1/18 DIE CAST DODGE VIPER 3 CAR SET MIB | eBay For RT/10's, I would like to find the Bburago McViper, White/Blue...

    Just Picked Up Rare 1:24 silver RT/10!

    From what manufacturer? I don't have any silver rt/10's either.

    Two drives one ending with a hefty ticket for me.

    I would fight it and just say, "I was washing my windows". I assume you can wash your windows without turning on the headlights.

    Two drives one ending with a hefty ticket for me.

    The local police in my community are against the red light cameras. It was brought up at a council meeting and the chief of police gave a bunch of reasons why it shouldn't be used. Council wanted it for revenue generation. Thankfully the chief made a convincing argument and it was shot down...

    Raffle Tickets

    I've seen a few posts asking about how ticket sales are going, but no answers. If we are under the required number, let us know. That would likely encourage some people who already bought tickets to buy a few more.

    Looking for 2006 black coupe with 5 spokes

    I have a bunch of AutoArt, Bburago, and Maistos. The closest thing to a 5-spoke is the Gen II 5-spoke.

    Snakes Alive Event - June 18, 2011

    Carmen sent out an email today about this. I assume it went out to the whole PA/WV group.

    APRIL 16th DETAIL DAY

    yeah, 90% chance of rain. I probably won't be driving down. I'll be at the Cool Critters Car Show on April 30th - weather permitting.

    Two drives one ending with a hefty ticket for me.

    Well, I'll give 2 thumbs up :2tu: to a NY State Trooper that I had the pleasure to speak with (ahem) on Wednesday night. I was driving out I84 about 10:30 PM and saw him sitting on the side of the road - as I buzzed by. I saw that he was starting to pull out, so I immediately pulled over...

    Expansion of my collection... again!

    Anyone have suggestions for large display units? I've become a bit obsessed with this and unfortunately I'm collecting the 1:18 size so I need a bit of room. I have about 40 cars now and waiting for more to arrive. I need something that will keep them protected from dust. I want to remove...

    Exotic Car Show for Non-Profit: Need Participants!!!

    Can you update the region website with this? It might be too late to register, but others can come support the event since we'll be there.

    Let's start the talking... where and what VOI 12!

    There are ~2000 VCA members and only 73 pins (so far). Over half of them are in Canada. It almost seems like an email went out to the SoCal and Western Canada members about this, thus resulting in heavy concentrations from those areas. If the membership list is stored in a SQL-based database...

    Exotic Car Show for Non-Profit: Need Participants!!!

    The deadline for registration is April 10. Still no confirmation on Maple Grove so I'm going to register for this event. So far: stranger355 mgeorge markk swexlin Anyone else? Maybe PaViper can spread the word if there isn't going to be a VCA event that day.

    Memorial Day Parade

    Bump for the parade. Anyone in the Northeast area (or anywhere) who can't make it to Pocono is welcome to participate in the parade. I have a wedding on 5/28, so I won't be going to Pocono. If you are interested, let me know because I'll have to coordinate with the parade organizer.

    Every time Viper goes to City Cops stop me

    In PA, State Troopers have to give you a 4 MPH buffer with radar. Local police cannot use radar, so they use Vascar, which requires a 10 MPH buffer.

    Every time Viper goes to City Cops stop me

    There are two PA State Troopers in my [small] development. Our kids play together. When I got the Viper last year, I took one guy for a ride. He suggested we find out when the other would be shooting radar and blow by him at a high rate of speed just for giggles. We haven't done that, but it...

    Practicing a little with my camera

    I have these, but the cars belong to other folks. I like the front view.

    Let's start the talking... where and what VOI 12!

    I agree that SLC isn't west coast, but it is 700+ miles west of the center of the US (lower 48). It is ~650 miles east of the west coast.

    Let's start the talking... where and what VOI 12!

    IMO, Vegas is overrated - and expensive. We had our user conference there 4 years in a row - way too much. I spent 5 years working at a casino in Atlantic City so I'm immune to the glitz and gambling. I probably wouldn't have enough vacation time to drive my viper to Vegas. I'd have to fly and...

    Plexi Display Cases for 1:18, 1:24?

    There is another Michaels about 30 minutes away. I checked with them also. I call both stores and they check the shelves for me. I wondered if they weren't getting them in just because of the 40% off sale (this week is an extra 25% on top of the 40%). You're right though, $18 each is more than I...

    Plexi Display Cases for 1:18, 1:24?

    The problem with Michaels is that they rarely have them in stock. My local store only gets a shipment on Monday. The past two weeks they only received the very large size (too large for 1/18). Unfortunately, you cannot order them from michaels.com and the store can't ask the warehouse to send...

    Is this confirmed for April 30? It is on our region's website calendar, but Maple Grove's website shows April 30 is UTI High School Challenge 2011 Schedule
