Why is it on the side of the road? i.e. What broke this time?

I love Porsches and fast BMWs, but that Street Triple is the real standout! Wow!

Do you have problems with the AC or is it just blown out of proportion?

Wow, bold assumption. Nothing broken

Not too bold! I owned a 2000 for 18 years and near the end, it broke A LOT! The main reason I sold it was because it cost me $2-4K every time I drove it. I am glad to hear yours is doing much better!

To the person who asked about the AC, mine worked good for the first 10 years or so, then I could not get it to last for more than a season. Dodge and their certified Viper Tech's replaced just about every part, but I still had issues until the day I sold it. When it was working, it was real cold, but it would not stay charged and they could not find the leak.

gotcha. I have been fortunate with my ownership I guess...no problems that I did not cause myself. It’s been a pretty solid car....the issue that I am having is sourcing a windshield. I have been on the hunt for about 8 months now with no luck....

I had Jon B at Viper Parts Rack on speed dial for my car! J/K

http://www.viperpartsrack.com

He was the only one who was able to get me a replacement oil pan when my oil plug stripped out. In that case, a simple oil change turned into 3 weeks and a $1800 bill to get my car back from the Dodge dealer.

Give Jon a call, I am sure he can help you find one somewhere in the US. He knows a lot of Viper people!

Thanks for the info....Jon has been provided great assistance for me in the past...unfortunately the only lead he had was for $3k

Picked up a Honda Accord for a cheap commuter. Whilst they were detailing it my wife ordered a 20 model GMC Acadia Denali as her runabout... That’ll be a plush vehicle and a sensible one each. Garage complete for now.

Accords are great cars- between my wife & I have had a few over the years. Stick?
