    Dealer called ... Looking to buy

    Bernie, I'll call you tomorrow. Hey JonB - What are you doing hanging out here on the East Coast (LOL)? You're right, I should have thought of Bernie in the first place, definitely getting too old! And it's Ex-Treasurer, 10 years was long enough, sig needs to be changed. Lee, Kelly?

    Dealer called ... Looking to buy

    I got a call from a local Dodge Dealer today, he has a buyer looking to buy an '05 or newer Viper. Coupe or Vert Ok, but must be Red or Yellow, low mileage, and excellent condition. Also car should be in the Maryland / Mid-Atlantic area. PM me if you have one to sell, and I'll hook you up...

    White vs. Red vs. Yellow

    They were both there at the Crab Feast last year, as well as Carlisle. And I drove the VOI 9 to John's Western MD Cruise in the fall of '07 (right after I bought it), but I think you're right I don't drive either one of them as much as I'd like. At the crab feast my white one was parked next...

    I think Red .... No, I mean White ..... Did I say White? I mean Red! Nevermind I mean white... no Red! Forget it, for some strange reason, I can't make up my mind. V V V V V V V V V V V V V V

    They forgot the back wheels

    I mean, as long as they are copying the VOI 10 car, they might as well go all the way. Chevy Corvette gets Competition Sports package - AutoWeek Magazine

    Lift installer in Maryland

    Hey Doug - You can try Ferguson Automotive Equipment in Baltimore City, phone: (410) 467-8980. The father/son team team that installed my lift works for them and did the job on the side. Lee's right, they did a good job but never returned my calls after the job, so I wouldn't recommend them...

    Poll...Least Desirable Viper Color??? (a REAL poll)

    FWIW - I've owned '96 RT/10 white/blue stripes, '98 GTS Silver/blue stripes (1 of 23), '01 RT/10 Saphire. '02 FE, and a '06 VOI9. Because of its historic significance, and its stunning looks, the FE, red color and all, would be the last car I would ever part with. You can keep your graphites...

    Is the FE GTS registry website working?

    He is a Dr., and sometimes his schedule does not permit a quick reply. Be patient, he'll get back to you.

    00 RT10 for sale with 0 miles.

    I believe the only RT/10's that had factory stripes were the '97 Blue/White, the '96 White/Blue, and the '96 Black/Silver. All others would be after market.

    Those of you with kids....

    I bought my first Viper right after my son turned 8, so he kind of grew up with Vipers, and the club. Now he's 19, and when we take both cars out, he drives one, and I drive one. I now have a grandson 6, and another grandson coming any day (my daughter was due yesterday), and getting ready to...

    4th Annual Newark Assembly Plant Transportation Show Sept. 27th

    Hey George! - I got your voice mail, and noted the date, but I completely forgot to get back to you, sorry. I'll ask Lee to send out an email blast to our members, and try to drum up some interest. Unfortunately, I'll be in Blairsville, PA that day and will be unable to attend.

    car lift for my garage?

    Same here. And as an additional precaution, I always pull the plug, and tuck away the cord after I've gotten the top car in position, just in case.

    SSG Review on Autoblog...

    "Only when the GTS coupe debuted in 2006 did they even add exterior door handles and actual windows." 2006? Somebody needs to do their fact checking.

    The Worst?

    Total BS. I've had 5 Vipers the past 10 years (2 currently), and haven't spent half that on repairs and maintenance, including warranty work.

    What will 40 large get me? (GTS only)

    Vin's explained here: International Viper Registry

    What will 40 large get me? (GTS only)

    If the VIN is correct, it's a '98.

    What will 40 large get me? (GTS only)

    Black was not a factory color for '98. Because it has an aftermarket paint job, I'd check the car out thoroughly for other issues, just in case.

    Viper orange with non 08 hood for sale?

    Anytime a seller wants an email instead of a call is a RED flag for me. Combined with the descrepancies in the ad, I think it's a scam.

    Snakeskin green hard to live with???

    The rules of the raffle says the winner must order the car to 2009 configurations and options. I guess that eliminates any chance of a SSG ACR. That would have been a fantastic choice!
