    September 27-29th – Vipers slither to Biltmore!!! - Asheville, NC

    Incredible video Brian! Thanks so much for putting that together. Had to laugh at that one dinnertime photo. Looks like I belong on the short bus.

    September 27-29th – Vipers slither to Biltmore!!! - Asheville, NC

    What else can be said? Thank you Chris and Stephanie...you guys really did an amazing job. Perfect weather, perfect company, perfect location(s). When the only "bad" thing that happens is getting stuck behind an apple truck doing 20 mph for 10 minutes, you know you've had a perfect weekend...

    Anyone Use Their Viper Daily?

    Lotus is neat...Toyota engine, and once in the car, the cockpit is great. Getting in and out is a royal pain, and I'm not getting more flexible as I get older, so I bought an RT/10 (Gen II) instead. No regrets!

    Very impressive and creative. I like your radio fix too...that's a good one to remember.

    Anyone Use Their Viper Daily?

    I agree with a previous post here (Moparboy maybe?) that said a Gen II would be the starting point for a DD. You want a car you can lock and that has real windows that go up and down. Simple as that. Budget for replacing tires too. Maybe you get lucky and buy one with tires that are only a...

    Ethanon-free Gas in NC

    Gas has a lot more BTUs per gallon than ethanol, and I've found that my Honda Accord runs much better on pure gas. With E10, the Accord is very cold natured and really needs to warm up for 5 minutes before it drives well. Not so with pure gas. Plus the ethanol can absorb water, which can be...

    Ran my viper out of gas

    Your ACR sounded like a Prius when you entered the gas station. Sweet looking ride!

    Group Ride to Asheville

    For the guys around Raleigh, do you want to meet up at the BP/Kangaroo just off of Airport Blvd (just south of I-40 and RDU airport) Friday morning? Get there around 9:45 to fill/drain fluids and check tire pressure. Kangaroo Express 100 Factory Shops Road Morrisville, NC 27560 (919)...

    Ethanon-free Gas in NC

    Thanks. I saw those two stations and the google street view didn't look promising. I guess since we're driving the stuffing out of them this weekend it isn't as critical as having ethanol-free in the car over the winter time.

    Ethanon-free Gas in NC

    I found a place in Wake Forest, NC that sells ethanol-free 93 octane gas. Thought I'd gas up there (that's where WF police fuel their vehicles) for the trip over to Asheville: Holding Oil & Gas 534 South White St Wake Forest, NC 27587 Anyone been to this service station in Statesville...

    Factory top rattle

    You can also lubricate the gaskets on the hard top where the top contacts the windshield frame and the sport bar. I've used the NAPA silicone grease for this but recently bought some of the Shin-etsu grease and used it on my Accord. Very impressed with how it quieted the gasket squeaks and it...

    Doctor told me not to drive my car!

    Mark is younger than me! To be fair, I had severe back pain when I was in my 30's. Trigger-point therapy (maybe 12 sessions total in the past 18 years) and getting in better shape made all the difference!

    The 900 dollar license plate frame.

    What was that saying about a fool and his money? Had to laugh at his prices. This is one optimistic guy!

    Gen V Hits & Kills Man & Dog (Old Bethpage, NY)

    Seems that journalism is a dying vocation. The old who, what, when, where, why has been replaced with opinion, speculation, political slant, and maybe the occasional fact.

    Group Ride to Asheville

    Chris, it looks like somewhere around 540 and I-40 would be a good place to meet up. Will you need to gas up and/or get coffee or just meet and go? BTW, if you know of any stations along the route that sell ethanol-free gas, that would be good info to have.

    Clutch Master Cylinder Removal/Replacement Needed?

    Easy enough to do. What sort of lube should be used that wouldn't harm the seals? Thanks.

    Clutch Master Cylinder Removal/Replacement Needed?

    My clutch master cylinder will squeak if I haven't driven my Viper for a couple weeks. It is definately coming from the cylinder, not the linkage, as a dab of silicone grease on the m/c shaft right above the dust seal kills the squeak. After operating the clutch maybe 10 times, the squeak is...

    Group Ride to Asheville

    Hi Pat. It takes roughly 3 hours to get from Raleigh to Hickory. A few of us are looking to leave somewhere around 10 a.m. Friday, so we would reach Hickory around 1 pm. Are there any good local BBQ restaurants in Hickory we could meet at and get some lunch? Looks like Asheville is about an...
