    Questions regarding F1 race in Indianapolis on June 17th.

    My son and I are thinking about heading out to Indianapolis for the F1 race the weekend of June 15th - 17th, and I have some questions: * Can anyone recommend a hotel in the area of the speedway - clean, but not expensive, we'll just be sleeping there. * Looking at the seating packages...

    Open race car trailer for sale on Ebay

    I doubt that trailer would work for a Viper. You should have at least 80" between the fenders for adequate clearance, and it looks like that one doesn't quite make it. Also the fenders have to be no more than about 11" high off the deck or you won't be able to open the door. Climbing out the...

    4-post lift for lowered Gen II

    My FE is lowered (Eibachs), and goes on and off my Direct Lift with no problems. I bought from Greg Smith's about two years ago, and if I remember I think I paid $1999.00 plus shipping. Since then I believe the price is down about $100.00. I found their customer service to be excellent and...

    got a ticket in cali higways over 100 ph

    Do your homework on getting the right attorney, because getting a bad one can be worse than not getting one at all. I know because that's what happened to me last summer. If anyone ever saw the movie "My Cousin Vinny", and remembers the stuttering public defender, well, take away the...

    Ebay users! Watch out - Scam listing.

    If you like to search Ebay for Vipers, be careful. There is a listing (dated Feb. 10) for a 2003 Viper (but year says 1962). If you click on it, it brings up a Ebay user sign on screen. This sign on screen is bogus, and looks like it's just trying to grab your user i.d. for scamming. If...

    What is your favorite Viper quote or description?

    Geico Insurance

    I have 5 cars (plus the home), and I have used Nationwide for the last 20+ years. This year my premium went to $4100 for just the two Vipers, which was almost double from past years. I went on line and got an Internet quote from Geico for less than half for both Vipers for the same coverage as I...

    Four Post Lift Question....again

    Ben - I do not have bridge jacks, actually I'm looking for a jack (bridge, bottle or scissor) that you can operate with air. I need one that has a minimum height of under 7 inches to be able to use it with the jack tray that came with the lift (The FE has Eibachs). If anyone knows of any, let...

    Four Post Lift Question....again

    I have a Pro Park 7 Direct Lift bought from Greg Smith Lifts. I bought the lift about two years ago, and have had no problems with it. I had professionals install it, so I can't be much help there, but I do remember them saying that they felt it was a quality lift. I'm happy with mine, and the...

    revolution lift coming, HAVE GARAGE QUESTION

    For my garage doors, I was told that there are two types of radius track (i.e. that section of track that curves and takes the track from vertical to horizontal). 9" is standard, but if your ceiling can handle it, you can get high lift 34" radius track from most garage door suppliers. I had a...

    A little surprised at Insurance costs.....

    Just like ViperJoe, I also have been with Nationwide for 20+ years. This year my premium went to $4100 for both Vipers. I explained to my agent that this increase puts my insurance rate at better than $1.00 per mile since I only put about 1500 miles a year on each one. I called Hagerty, and...

    How to tell if a viper has factory stripes?

    Let your local Dodge dealer run the VIN in their computer. If it shows two paint codes, it's factory striped, if it only shows one, then it's after market.

    MD State Inspection (Montgomery County)

    I've bought two Vipers out of state (and two in state), and Keene Dodge in Jarrettsville, MD did the state inspections on all of them. I'd look for a Dodge dealer near you, as Keene is about an hour's drive from Rockville. If you take it to a reputable Dodge dealer with a Viper Tech, it should...
