Default I'd rather buy a great new stainless watch than new wheels/tires for Viper.

Yep...crazy. I'd take the wheels/tires.

If you have a cell phone, why do you need a watch?

With 1754 posts here I would respectfully suggest you join VCA before you buy a high end watch, if you can afford the watch you can afford to support the site you spend so much time on.

Maybe his daily driver is the Viper.....

Obviously, since you cant afford both, get the one that will bring you the most satisfatcion. To me wheels would far outwiegh a watch. But to make new wheels look good, you need to lower it alos, which cost extra. Sounds like you cant afford that, so Id probably go with the watch.

Your Viper can do a lot your DD can't. A $5000 watch does the same thing a cell phone clock does. I agree with Lee, spend $150, join the VCA, then spend the rest on your Viper....or fill it up on gas. That should wipe out any extra $$ you had

I have a $5,800.00 watch that I bought in 1995.
It takes the worse time out of all the watchesd I've ever owned.
Save your money, f_cked the watch.

I admit I am a watch slut. I have over 100, most manual or automatic, Breitling, Omega, etc, even an 18k G.P. ........So I understand your angst. But I had only 3 watches when I joined VCA and I renew every year.

All I can say is TICK-TOCK-TICK-TOCK......time to join and stop freeloading !!

One Time Limited Offer: I will send YOU a FREE DODGE WATCH if you join VCA VENOM on MAY 1st..... 1-800-998-1110.......just have the ladies call me... Try Me....

You are crazy. I have a watch that cost over 100 x what my 1st car cost me. The watch keeps worse time than the clocks in our radios.

I'd buy a vintage watch before I bought a set of Riiiiiiiiiiiiimzzzz.

I own a few vintage watches that I enjoy the look and heritage far more than a set of todays flavor in wheels.

But that's me.

OK since you VCA 'hos are heisting my thread let me twist it myself:

I would rather buy & install a set of heads and get some new PCM programming for my Viper than buy a new set of wheels and tires for it.

There, that should separate the posuers from the performance guys!
