2013 Dodge Viper Available at Lou Fusz O'Fallon Chrysler

The reintroduction of the Dodge Viper has infused the car world with a new energy. This stylish reintroduction of the Viper is available now at the Lou Fusz O'Fallon Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep dealership in O'Fallon, Missouri. The 2013 model continues the muscle car tradition with sleek lines, a powerful engine, and well-made body. The car first burst in to the industry in 1992, causing ripples of awe and desire throughout the world. This vehicle hearkened back to the muscle cars of the late 1960’s and 1970’s. The image of the Viper is now as legendary as the Dodge Charger and the Plymouth Roadrunner. Yet, a Viper isn’t a care for everyone. Like all vehicles, there are pros and cons to purchasing and owning this sexy beast.

Cons:

The car isn’t cheap to own. Like all sport cars, there is a maintenance cost to owning a Viper. Aftermarket parts are rarely cheap and the official parts can break the bank. Insurance for a Dodge Viper can be expensive as well, since sports cars routinely have higher rates.

This isn’t a family car. With a small interior and limited passenger space, the Dodge Viper isn’t designed for the use of a family. There is no for extra kids or a baby seat, since the vehicle only has two seats. Storage space is at a premium and can’t hold the various items that a full sized family carries with them.

The Dodge Viper isn’t a cross-country vehicle. For long trips, this car isn’t recommended. Although it is comfortable for driving around the town or back and forth to work, visiting a relative in another state needs another vehicle. The AC doesn’t always cool the interior well over a long period. The cabin can also become cramped after hours of being on the road. Gas is also expensive and the V-10 engine does like to drink fuel.

Pros:

The car is beautiful and is fast. The sleek lines of the Viper are known worldwide. Even the silhouette is iconic; you don’t have to see the full image of the car to know it is a Viper. Heads turn as the car roars down the road as it treads through traffic as smooth as a snake. With an 8.4-liter V-10 engine that pumps out 640 horsepower, the Viper is a true beast to behold.

The Dodge Viper is unique. The Viper isn’t a common sight in cities and towns. Although the style is legendary, rarely are two Vipers seen in the same area. This uniqueness is a reason to buy a Viper, since a car is a real-life expression of the owners taste. When Viper owners do meet, they are part of a kinship that few people can claim.

The Dodge Viper is a social tool. After pulling a Viper in to any parking lot, people will want to ask questions. This can lead to networking with others and lasting friendships. There are many Viper clubs around the USA that can help an owner connect with others. Although the car is just a possession, this vehicle can lead to great interaction with others of similar taste and attitude.

A New Security System

Contribution by Kennith Griffin

I recently returned from a week long visit to see my daughter and her family. It had been a while since I had spent quality time with my grandsons and I was having withdrawals. I was fortunate to go when I could see them play several soccer matches. I typically do not get to enjoy them playing sports because most of their games are during the week and I am usually there on the weekend. I live three and a half hours away so I cannot just up and go at a moment’s notice to watch one of them play. One evening, while I was there, I sat with the kids while my daughter and son-in-law attended a political fundraiser. My daughter told me that they had recently called Security Systems Newry and installed a new system and gave me the code in case we went out. We left the house long enough to run an errand, take one of my grandsons’ friends home, and pick up some dinner. When we returned, I was able to turn off the alarm as instructed.

Moving Decisions

Thanks for the guest post by Bradly Watkins

I hate moving, because I have to make so many decisions. The most difficult thing to do is find a place to live. I always ask myself if I should buy, but because I am the most indecisive person in the world, I always end up renting. Buying would be too much of a commitment, and what would happen if I didn’t like the house? Once I have that done, I feel a small sense of relief, but I know there is still many other things to get done. The next step is finding reliable movers. Then, I move on to utilities. I transfer my electricity, and then go to http://www.directstartv.com/ to decide on a satellite TV package. Am I going to spring for the expensive pay channels, or will I keep it basic? I usually end up going with a big expensive package even thought I hardly ever have time for TV. And then I move on to the worst part: decorating. I have absolutely no style when it comes to my home, so I usually depend on my sister to help me with the finishing touches.

Love my Kids

Thanks for the post, Lorraine Gregory

I love that my kids are finally old enough to be entertained by the TV. I thought for the longest time they were never going to have the attention span to sit through a whole show but all of a sudden they’re able to sit down in front of Sesame Street or Dora and be quiet for a whole half hour at a time. I just can’t believe that after all this time I’m finally getting some time to really get things done and make sure the house is clean and dinner is cooked and all that. Who would have thought I’d be one of those moms who relied on HD cable to watch her kids for her? It’s just really hard when you work from home and you count on being able to have some tie without toddlers hanging off your legs to get things done? I didn’t ever realize it was this hard to entertain kids and I have a newfound respect for my mom because she’s really great about that.

Crafting

Guest post by Gerard Mcdaniel

Since I got my Satelite Internet connected a few months ago, I’ve been getting really into crafts. My new favorite website is www.craftster.org There I can find clear instructions on how to make anything from do it yourself Halloween costumes, to thoughtful hand-made Christmas gifts. One of my favorite projects that I found there was how to make my own Angry Birds play set. The instructions were so clear and easy, and my kids absolutely loved the result. They love playing the computer game, so I figured they would love to have toys that looked like the characters from it. It feels good that I have the skill to make things on my own and that I don’t have to go to the store and spend a ton of money for things that my kids want. It’s also nice to make things for other people I care about. I have also found is that the more I sew and craft, the better I get at it. I’m excited to see how my skills develop over the next few months. I’m having a great time trying different things.

Studio Alarm

Contributed by Vickie Tyson

I have been looking into getting an alarm system for my studio. I have a hair studio that is behind my house. I don’t really see that many client, but usually work about two to three days a week. I read reviews on the internet and after reading ADT Reviews that were consistently better than most, I decided that it was time. I felt like I needed to get an alarm system for the studio because recently there have been break-ins into hair studios around town. I know that it sounds crazy, but apparently, there is a big black market for hair tools. I guess it is because hair dryers and irons are costing upwards of two hundred dollars now a days ( for professional ones). I never keep any cash in the register, but some studios have had petty cash stolen and in some cases even had their computers stolen. I know it isn’t a one hundred percent break-in safe, but it definitely makes me feel a lot safer!

Being rational with my daughter about her dorm room set up

Guest post written by Whitney Thomas

My daughter is what you may call a dreamer. She decides that she wants to do something, no matter how outrageous it is, and then sets her mind to meeting that goal. A lot of the time she actually is successful than it, but every once in a while she gets a little too ambitious and I can't of have to hold her back. Well, right now she has some really huge aspirations for how she's going to decorate her dorm room, but I've had to remind her about fire codes and that she'll be sharing this room with a complete stranger that may not be so enthusiastic about her outlandish interior design work.

I've been looking up some decorating ideas for her to use in the meantime and one night last week while I was doing that, I came across the website CLEARWIRELESSINTERNET4g.com and after I looked through it some I decided to change over our home internet service to the provider.

I did find some pretty neat dorm room designs that she's actually liked. Plus these are a lot more reasonable than the ones that she had thought of originally.
