Light em up!
I always thought they were asking for matches to light up a crack pipe or something. Hmmm. Learn somethin' new every day. As for that button, I moved mine to the top of the shifter. Babble aside, if I have the time and nobody else in the car, I stop and talk to the kids. The best behaved...- Tom Friend

Major differences: 96 GTS vs newer GTSs
A few other differences between years: <UL TYPE=SQUARE> <LI>'98 saw the 2nd generation airbags (passenger side could be disabled) <LI>'99 added power outside mirrors <LI>'99 added remote hatch release [/list] Pretty minor stuff really. BTW, you will find a number of Vipers for sale with upgraded...- Tom Friend

My GTS waaay down on power--why?
Check your fuel level and / or sensor. I remember reading somewhere in my service manual about the engine going into a "limp home" mode when it senses the gas tank is almost empty. It would shut down some of the injectors & other stuff as I recall...- Tom Friend

Help! TeamTechs rubbing me raw
I am not a very thick-necked individual, but my new TeamTechs are really rubbing my neck raw after only 30 minutes. It would appear that the headrest hole is not wide enough for the wide shoulder belts. Is there a fix other than replacing the seat? Other than this, I love those belts- the fit...- Tom Friend

Blk Cars..
I do all my Zaino work in the garage. Less pollen/dust, and the paint doesn't get hot in the sun. Instead of cotton towels, I use birdseye diapers. Before my last car show I spent two days polishing the beast under the flourescents in my garage, and the tiny scratches never disappeared. I got...- Tom Friend

Any "famous" preowned? Black any thoughts?
Re: Any \"famous\" preowned? Black any thoughts? I bought my black GTS (unseen) because I thought it would look more subtle. Hah! The Viper is far from subtle... I really wanted red, but was afraid it would be too "in your face". Well, I find black to be the most intimidating color of all in...- Tom Friend

Vipers and Laser Guns
Keep in mind that at the typical distance of lidar traps, 1/4 to 1/2 mile,the size of the beem hitting your car could be up to 24 inches in diameter, so a lot of waving around by the officer will not be needed. The extra time you get should be put to good use- hard braking. Lidar measures...- Tom Friend

Anyone else out there get flashed while driving your Viper?
I was mooned once by a car of high schools boys in an old Caprice. Freezing weather- musta left 'em with blue cheeks. How come I get all the wackos? This car attracts teenage boys like flies to peanut butter. Then there is the rice problem... I wish they would just leave me alone to drive my...- Tom Friend

Vipers and Laser Guns
Reflective surfaces are the key item here. The primary target for a lidar hit is your front license plate. (yet another good reason for not having one...) If the officer is not able to get a hit off that within a second or so, he will then try to paint your headlights, as they are the second...- Tom Friend

What's up with the drawing car?
What\'s up with the drawing car? I have been away for the last week or so, and am dying to know the details of our next fund-raiser drawing car. Joseph & JonB hav been tantalizing us about a special ACR-RT/10. Any more news? When/where can I send my check? Inquiring minds want to know...- Tom Friend

Going to traffic court today, need advice
Ask your traffic attorney to handle it. Many of us gave you that advice- you *are* taking it- aren't you? In the absence of an attorney, offer deep humility- the judge will assume the officer to be an upstanding citizen with impecible skills of observation.- Tom Friend

Imagine your garage door falling in on your Viper
Funny you should mention that... Ever since my garage was built (3 years ago) I would notice an occasional 1/4-20 nut lying loose on the floor in one of the bays. Never thought much of it. Well, two weeks ago, the dorr to the Caravan bay stopped coming all the way down. The ensuing investigation...- Tom Friend

Have you Been Ticketed with Your Valentine One?
I got hit on a windy mountain road by instant on. I was coasting down from a 130+ passing situation, and had scrubbed off a good bit of speed. I had no warning at all as I came around the next curve- he hit me, so I just pulled over and waited for the inevitable... 86 in a 55. A great traffic...- Tom Friend
