Can\'t forget the most important part! (pic)

I completely forgot the one thing that is absolutely necessary for the operation of this fine American exotic:

And one other comment to go with it: You will note that there is a trunk release button. It only works when the car is shut off (makes sense) and there is no inside trunk release (too civilized). This can be a very minor inconvenience when you are in a line of cars dropping off your kids at school and have to get your son's baritone out of the trunk. Shut the car off, hit the release on the fob, start it back up. I have given it a lot of thought and decided I can live with it.

PS. Norman, just in case you were thinking about whittling a spare for my car, the key pattern (both sides) has been changed in the photo to make you buy your own SRT...

Two Qs Chris-
1. Can that trunk really hold a baritone horn in a hard case? If so, that is terrific. Will it hold a dreadnaught in a hardshell I wonder...

2. Is that ear wax I see on your key?

Very funny Mr Chris. Can you show me a picture of the other side? Hey, I PM'd you. Check it out.

Baritone horn in a hard case fit with an inch or two to spare (angled in with the handle on the bottom). At first I thought you were referring to a battle cruiser (dreadnought), but I see "dreadnaught" is also an acoustical guitar. Whew! If you want to give me the measurements I would be happy to make a guess on it (and my initial guess is "no", it would not fit).

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I will have you know that this particular key has never been used. On second thought, Woodhouse DID have the car for a while, so perhaps that is genuine Pemberton ear wax. With that in mind, I will be putting it on eBay immediately (the key)...

How about a picture of you in the car. With all the information, I feel like I know you and want to see if the mental picture matches your actual good looks!!

Believe me, you don't want to gaze on him too long. It'll burn your retinas.

Well, I suppose some people tend to be a little curious about who is behind the keyboard (or who is the behind at the keyboard). I am generally pretty camera-shy and try to avoid the limelight. Nonetheless, here is one my wife shot this afternoon. No great looker I suppose, but what can you do...

I usually wear a goatee and a few extra pounds, but you caught me on one of my better days. See you around!

Keep up the good work, Chris. After reading all of your posts, I might just buy the one I have on order.

Of course, I want to look like James Bond when I drive mine too...

I always knew 007 would look better in a Viper than an Aston Martin!

Isn't that just a shot of 007 sitting in a black BMW Z-3 for a movie pose?

WOW, for 80K they could not make a new fob. This is what I have on the Intrepid.

Who cares about the fob?? For $80K the Viper is completely new.

I'm confused. What do you mean it's not a different fob? That's a different fob from my 2001. Is that the same as the 2002 fob???

What's David Hasselhof doing in a Viper? I thought he was the Knight Rider with Pamela Andersons voice coming out of the dash...now THAT would be a KIT.

My D-42 Martin with hard case will fit if precisely placed to miss the reinforcing channels. It will contact the underside of the trunk and does require slightly more force to close the trunk. This could be good or bad. The guitar will not move around under heavy breaking or cornering but it might create a wear spot. I have the trunk Matt in mine and would highly recommend it, it might fit better without the quarter inch of Matt!

Re: Can\'t forget the most important part! (pic)

That is exactly what I needed to know. Sounds rather snug. My GTS would swallow one guitar, a Crate CA60D amp, and several small gig bags jammed into the corners.

Ah well- practicality was never a reason for this car.
