A Viper, treated much different than most. . . 56k be warned

[white out]

This is my '99 ACR. I love it. But I also drive it daily, for the most part. The day after I got it washed, I had a 70 mile trek through a snow storm. Since then it's logged around 700 miles, with lots of rain and bugs. So this car has been subjected to many more conditions than most Vipers.

Oh btw, this is what was required for today, with light flurries

There is a great road outside the city. But it's seasonal. . . and dirt, on a good day.

This is the smallest puddle, but I could get out of the car without stepping into it.

You seem to carryover your H1 mentality to the Viper I think the pics look cool, better to drive it and let it get dirty than have a clean garage queen!

While I love a super clean car, I really like dirty cars. Following the lines of where water/dust/dirt travels. I just find it very interesting to see the lines of the car.

Anyways, it will be getting another full detail in the near future. If anyone has seen work from AutoLavish from other forums, you will know the amount of detail that is about to be given to the car.

This is when my '99 ACR was *****.

I love the dirty pics. Always nice to see any rare/exotic/bad ass car be driven the way its supposed to be.

Beautiful car, but I think I need medication when it comes to a dirty ride.

Oh The Inhumanity!

How refreshing to see someone use their exotic/supercar ALL THE TIME!! On the flipside, I now feel like a complete wuss for only having 5,000 miles on an '04.

 

[vpower01]

Nice pics have fun, thats what its all about trailer queens ****!

 

[97snk]

I drive mine daily too, rain or shine. Mine looks much dirtier than yours however

 

[motor602]

subaru commercial?

 

[Olddudesrule]

I'm all for driving my Viper routinely (1000+ miles in the last three weeks since I've owned it), but that road SUCKED! Sorry man, but that hurt a little to see....

 

[v10enomous]

My silver GTS gets more typical Viper usage but how about this one...

Where the heck do you live that this is a 'great' road . Also, looking at those pictures gives me a headache .

 

[sdaddy]

I say pull the body and put it on a 4x4 chassis, or maybe just an 8 inch lift kit.

MMmm dirty girl

Sold a 500bhp STi for the Viper.

Judging from the hand prints you are closing your hood wrong. I was taught you need to push right over where the hinges are (closer to the vents) at about 10 and 2 oclock and should not push down on the front of the hood.

Glad to see you are enjoying it.

 

[Ricketts]

Wow, high five to you for driving it. Me, all I want to do now is come help you wash your car. lol

Do a google search for AutoLavish. I am dropping the car off with them in about a month.

It would look that way.
I usually go wide for the main push. Then pretty much everywhere to make sure that it's locked down and even. Probably doesn't do much, but helps me sleep at night.

You could also hook your thumbs in the Naca duct and push Back as well as down since that it the direction the hood actually closes. Using your thumbs is much more positive and even with a wet, dirty hood your hands won't slip off.

Seeing all that gravel and mud coming out of the side scoops just reminds me what a pain in the --- it is to clean under the hood every time I drive through a dirty puddle.
