New rims, new tires, new brakes, new pics

[Toby]

Geez. Someone git the scraper out to take Mobil 1 off the side of the #91 car. Makes the car look cheap.

Man... That sticker is a honker compared to mine.

Picture above is a RACE car. It is what it is.

The nice red GTS with the DODGE on the sill is a street car, with street bling bling wheels, driven on public roads...

Sticker = rice

Dave,

Do you have larger version of the Red GTSR? It's a gr8 picture!

 

[dave6666]

I can do this all day.

And what makes that a real race car? The aero parts? My car has all of them. The number on the door? The roll cage? How do you know I don't have one? The fact the guy's wearing a helmet? The fact the wheels aren't chrome? How do you know under all that brake dust his aren't?

So pick some. Clarify your statement with specifics. What makes the #91 a race car and not mine. Keeping well in mind that you have never seen my car, do not know everything it has, and basically have no real clue what I do with it or where I drive it except for what I have chosen to let people know about me at this forum.

Then I will shred your response.

I anxiously await the opportunity.

No. Search the web and you'll find what I did.

That is a timeless beauty and the Rim/Brake combo brings it to life.

Looks good. I could do without the Dodge sticker but the car looks sick non the less.

 

[Leslie]

wow I have that diecast model, very kewl pic!

 

[ViperNM]

Nice, nice job Dave. It didn't quite make it to 70 today but it got up to over 60 in Albuquerque this afternoon. Definitely a day to burn high test!

BTW thanks for the eBay link for the stock gears. I should never have gotten rid of mine.

Well, I HAVE seen Dave's car, it looks fantastic!!!!

 

[GeneralLee]

Im not going to give my opinion on your car beacause its your car and if you like it thats all that matters. As for the #91 car....That Mobile sticker is there more than likely because they are paying for it to be there in one way or another. The difference between a race car and street car? Paying sponsors.....

Next people are going to start telling you red ISNT the fastest color....

If I can come up with the money I'm going to do the same exact thing Dave has done with wheels + brake combo. Your car looks amazing and although I don't think I would do any of the vinyl stuff to my car, I don't think it looks terrible- I've seen a lot worse on some Vipers. Besides, it's your car and you keep it the way you like it. I've seen a lot of vipers on here that look nice, but I would never do what some people have done to them.

Either way, beautiful car Dave and thanks for all the advice.. I really appreciate it.

By the way.. I sent you another PM on a few quick questions.

Be sure and give Dan at Viper Specialty Performance a jingle when you start pulling your budget and quotes together. I don't think everyone realizes how diverse his product line is.

Maybe Dave can remove the O-D-G-E and add A-V-E-S V-I-P-E-R

Only people with inferior yellow cars would say that.

I say keep the Dodge sticker. It's different and isn't that what personal customization is all about? My car didn't come with stripes, but now it has them. Does that make my car rice?

Albert and I always have your back my friend, and for clarity purposes I told old Al its spelled D-A-V-E, not D-U-H

With all due respect to your individuality...do whatever floats your boat. Put smurfs and pink flower stripes on it for all I care. It's your car, your money and your time.

But,

To consider your street car is even remotely close to a purpose built race car because you upgraded it with a few aftermarket parts and stickers....you're living in la la land.

Please show me where I stated that I'm claiming my car is built to resemble a purpose built race car. My challenge was to tell me why my car is not a race car in any sense.

And there you go. You talk about me like you know me. Like you know what I do with my car. When in actuality you have no idea.

Please present facts, not guesses.

I must be looking at different pics than you are.

Is this a trick question or is my IQ not low enough to understand why you are even asking this over and over.

You talk about me like you know me. Like you know what I do with my car. When in actuality you have no idea.

You're right. I don't know you and I have no idea what you do with your car.

But unless you say otherwise, then my thoughts will remain the same. I nice looking sled with ricer mods. What kind of wax do you use?

Guys...you're falling into the classic photo post feud. Dave, if you post up photos of your car, you have to expect that some folks are not going to like everything about your personal taste.

And Tobes! YOU should know better my old friend. Just so you DO know, Dave's one of our relatively new Texas pranksters. He's never ACTUALLY trolling for a fight....just a playful tussle.

 

[lagalaxy13]

Looks great!

Hi Scott!

I am just having fun too. I am sure Dave is an outstanding American. I completely understand and respect what he does to his fine sled is his business.

But really...did you see that sticker?

 

[Y2K5SRT]

Toby, meet Dave - our resident poster extraordinaire and occasional prank and punster. Dave writes some great "how to's" for those of looking to do things like cool the sidesills or simply add some custom looks. 95% of his work is not only unique but also improves the functionality of the car overall. Sometimes rough around the edges like many a Texan, he is a genuine good guy.

Dave, meet Toby - a very long time Viper and exotic car owner. Toby is a fantastic photographer and genuine car enthusiast. Like you, he is a genuinely good guy who occasionally tweaks folks - more on The Alley generally, but is apparently back here (and we are glad to see it!).

So before you draw swords realize that you would most definitely enjoy a few beers together. Toby may throw you a few track stories and give you some great early history of the club and this site. Dave will tell you how to build quality headers from bamboo shoots and licorice. You both will share a lot of laughs together.

Your pal,

Chris
