Out of curiosity... what's the maintenance on the Viper been like?
Agreed. I'm just swapping one daily driver for another, hehe -- keeping all the rest of my toys. I'd never put all of my eggs into one basket by getting something crazy.

The 2004 Viper hasn't cost me a dime in maintenance. When the factory warranty ran out, I elected to get the extended bumper-to-bumper, and they've waived my $100 deductable in every case. I've gotten huge value out of it, usually get a decent loaner, and they often give me free oil changes (11 quarts) if I let them know I'm coming in advance.

My other Viper is a bit newer and still under the original warranty, and it's had zero mantenance beyond oil and tires (Viper tires last about 4,000 miles if you don't abuse them).
