    I want to join the VCA, but...

    Eh, it's mind over matter for the most part. It only becomes problematic when your motor functions start to fail. The discomfort you can think through - just remind yourself it's temporary and stop thinking about it. But once the cold penetrates your muscles, they simply stop working, and it...

    I want to join the VCA, but...

    Though I can't take credit for that one. It was taken by a person next to me with a much better camera, and artistic eye, for that matter. Range was about 35-40 feet.

    I want to join the VCA, but...

    I called today and got dumped to voicemail. Fairly annoying when paying satellite phone rates :phone:

    w00t! Found the VIN in my profile. Will call as soon as my satellite connection stabilizes.

    I want to join the VCA, but...

    Steve, I don't have my VIN on me, but VCA should have a record of it as I submitted it to them so I could be registered as a Viper Owner. Can they look up the records? I can call on a satellite phone to give them the CC info. Or maybe it's even in my profile... I'll check.

    I want to join the VCA, but...

    Yes, and oddly, I have the highest tolerance for cold out of any of my colleagues, most of whom are from countries near the Arctic circle (Canada, Norway, Ukraine, etc.) Here's me taking a dip:

    I want to join the VCA, but...

    Wait, now that I'm reading the app, it says for new memberships it's $75 from July-September. Does that mean it's only good until December 31, 2009? If that's the case, I'll just wait until January 1, 2010.

    I want to join the VCA, but...

    I've been a lurker long enough, and want to join the VCA, however... I am currently at work in the Arctic, and have no fax machine, nor do I have the full version of Adobe Acrobat so I can't edit the PDF document the VCA app comes in. Can't I just give you guys my CC number? I hate paperwork...

    It's that time again - appraisal question

    Yeah don't rush the purchase. There are a LOT of really good deals out there right now. Take your time, shop around, within a month you will likely come across a deal too good to pass up. $45,000 for a '97 B/W with 9800 miles is not one of those deals.

    It's that time again - appraisal question

    In the current market, a '97 B/W with 9800 miles simply isn't worth $45k.

    Top Gear episode featuring original RT/10

    Was reading another thread where they had a link to the Top Gear episode where they reviewed the Gen III Viper. So, I dug around and found a link to a 16-year-old clip when Top Gear covered the original Gen I RT/10 :headbang: I imagine it has been posted here before, but if not, it's worth...

    Vett vs. viper

    Yeah I generally get annoyed by Clarkson's snobbery towards American cars, but he was quite fair in his assessment of the Gen III Viper. What I really hate is when they lap the cars in the rain. An experienced driver on a dry track and that car would have been near the very top of their...

    The most beautiful automobile short film ever

    The Viper crowd in and of itself would be far too small, but if we included the Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Corvette, Mustang, ricer, etc., crowd, you might, in theory, have enough people to make a decent-sized lobby group.

    If your Viper crashes will you get its worth?

    Nah, it's Black/Cognac.

    If your Viper crashes will you get its worth?

    I also meant to add that given the current deflation of used Viper prices and inflation of Viper parts, insurance companies will be far more likely to total out a Gen 1 or Gen II Viper these days than they were a few years ago. For a while, this will benefit everyone involved. The insurance...

    If your Viper crashes will you get its worth?

    I've been in two accidents since I've owned my Viper, in a span a bit over 5 years. The first time, an F-350 crew cab dually turned left from the inside lane directly in front of me. I tried to turn with him to avoid the crash, but wound up glancing off his door. Shattered the right headlight...

    Is GHCDEALER (Chad) still around?

    Was just curious if he's still doing interiors.

    Is GHCDEALER (Chad) still around?

    A while back there was a guy named Chad who used the forum name GHCDEALER and lived in central Florida who did custom Viper interiors. I saw some of his work and it was top notch. Anyone know if this guy is still around? Post data shows he was last on 9 months ago.

    Viper Techs versus The Jedi

    Do yourself a favor and find a board-recommended Viper tech to work on your car. Many of the best ones do not work at dealerships. My personal encounter with a 'certified Viper tech' at my local Dodge dealership ended with him asking me how to open the hood. I thanked him for the effort, took...

    Yep, I know. That's why I'm trying to get an idea of what it would look like :)

    PS2 question ???????

    Well... shoes don't have soles on top, tire tread goes all the way around. Most Viper, and sports car owners in general, appreciate looks as well as performance. When it comes down to a decision on a particular part for one's vehicle, some lean towards the performance side, others lead towards...

    Want to see what happens to are vipers when matched to A GT2

    That really wasn't a fair fight. Stock Gen IV vs. stock GT2, fine, that's fair. Take 2 with the same car versus a Viper with a high-end DLM or UG package, and show us the sequel.

    Pic Request: 6-spoke wheels on a Gen I/II

    Thanks! It looks pretty good. Any way you an change the wheel color to black? I'm considering getting some black 6-spoke wheels for my black '99 RT/10, which is why I'm asking. Sometimes what you see in your head doesn't translate into reality quite accurately.
