I am not too worried about the milage on the viper. Big motor that is realitively unstressed, 8 liters making 500hp, not really pushing hard. If I can find something with 40-50k miles that was garage kept and recently keyed (or scratched or has some cosmetic issues) that would be great.

This car will have a full custom paint job, the black lightning just got boss stripes in pearl blue and a few things shaved.

Not sure what to ask for the lightning. Maybe 16k, it does have 80k miles on it, but is in excellent shape and i take care of all of the wear items like tires and brakes yearly (yes I change tires and brakes that often, just like how fresh rubber sticks and how fresh brakes bite). It has been my daily driver, but only 16k miles in 4+ years. I plan to get a 4dr f250 with a v10 for towing the trailer around and daily driving and keep the viper for a weekend car. Maybe I am getting old, huh. Have not riden the bike in 6 months now, just gave up I guess.

That would be great! I've been really trying to figure out what I wanna go with though. I was thinking either a hugger orange or some nice yellow for contrast like the calipers and such. Most blues look great with white, but yellow or orange only work with some, so thats the trouble I'm having with making up my mind on the color.

I hear ya...Tires and brakes don't last long with me either, but thats cause I burn em off and wear em out.

The Viper is a very unique vehicle for sure. Some do not like them, but I think most of the haters are just bashing it, because they cannot afford something of that caliber. It is what it is, and that is a huge penis machine. That should fit you just fine James

. Sorry I could not resist.

The Viper is the best of the best. Have you checked out the insurance on those babies? I can only imagine what the operating expenses would be like on that. Gas? Tires? maintenance? Insurance? Weekly tickets?

Kind of hard not to let your right foot get lazy and just cruise. Might as well live it up while you can. None of knows when the end will come.

Yeah, ins will be higher than the lightning and given the parts cost I will have full coverage. Usually carry comp without collision (I own an autop body shop so i get to fix my own mistakes...)

As far as tires, I go thru a set in 4k miles usually, either worn out or more likely riddled with nails. Just my luck. Gas cannot be much worse than the lightning, 12mpg... Pretty good about avoiding the cops. We have some good cop free roads and street running is popular enough to have organized times that the cops do not know about.

Hey, everyone could do with a few extra inches, and if the viper does that, well so be it. I consider that a fringe benefit, and who cares how big you dong is when you go by so fast it makes the ricers heads spin. I have never had an issue with a nice car, unless some stuck-up pompus douche knozzle owns it.

And I need to hook you up with my buddy, his lightning did 587hp on the rollers.......before the 150 shot of nos... And now he has the killer chiller on there so that must be worth another 50hp or so due to the drastic drop in charge temps. Very mean, makes my truck run and hide.

Must be 60k in that truck, the interior stuff alone must have cost more than 10k. All custom. And he traded a 03 cobra stang for it, straight up. What a douche, right place at the right time.

Can we get these three members banned for too much 'off topic'?

Yea, good luck getting a mod banned.

Ah, so you have the cobra kit? Hmm, might have to work something out then... How custom do you want to go with that paint job? Hopefully very custom.

Stripes, flames, ghost effects, painted decals, I can do pretty much anything with paint.

Geeeshzz James you would be a great neighbor to have for getting custom body and paint work done. I wish we lived in your area. Hell I would cut your lawn and paint your house for a good customized paint job on a Camaro or a Stang. All you need is a little custom stereo work and you would be Cosmo central for autos. Not to mention the R/C races and beers out back afterwards.

Its actually my dads.

I'm really not sure about the paint job to be honest. Not terribly custom. Most of it would be body work. It only has 2 dings or so, but there are some changes I had in mind.

I do custom stero too. And window tinting, and engine work and pretty much anything else car related. And I am a "gunsmith" too (not really but I am very good with auto pistols, revolvers and anything gas operated). Plus i can instal home a/c, plumbing, framing, electrical, and gas. So I am handy to know... I guess I just like to work with my hands, mainly fixing stuff. I am a fixer, but that is ok, some get to create, and some have to fix. Not much of a beer drinker, but I will drink crown or cognac with you all night!

Just let me know, we can bounce around some ideas. I will have to hit you up next time I go to BR, will be there Sat for a couples shower, but I doubt I can break away to eyeball a car. Plus it is in the evening. My buddy lives out there and goes to lsu law so I make the trip out there frequently, especially if there is a gun show in Gonzales.

Ah come on, just post it up here.

We wouldn't bother you too much.

Back on topic for a sec: It's not a lack of moderators, it's simply a lack of common courtesy.

A couple of moderators and Mike himself should be all that's needed to moderate a respectable forum. Yeah, there's gonna be the odd bad egg, but if people ignore them, they will just move on. Nobody (at least most people) don't like talking to themselves.

Who you calling respectable?

Don't you let these guys start thinking that kind of crapp.

Your right though. For the most part we do a pretty good job of letting peole know when they are out of line or just need to move on. Still a quick access button would be a great add on so we can get to you guys quickly to thwart off intruders, that is without having to dig through threads to find all of the Mods PM info.
