UPDATE: Putting my self in the shoes of a potential buyer shipping would be something I would be worried about so I am posting an update on shipping details. I am shipping the car back state side with DGX, one of the best international shipping companies in the world. Original shipping was going to run me about 4k, but I had concerns with it being loaded and unloaded by people and potential for damage among other things. I called them back today and worked out a different plan with them thats way more safe but twice as expensive to ensure worry free/safe shipping. The car will be driven by me into its own shipping container, blocked and strapped down. It will be loaded on the ship in the center section, bottom where there is little to no movement, reserved for the most fragile cargo. It then will be offloaded still sealed in its container and trucked to your location where it will be taken out of its container. The car will never be touched or taken out from point "A" to pint "B".This is the safest most expensive way to ship but will ensure a safe delivery of the car and will be as clean as the day I drive it in. One negative with this shipping method is it will take 4 weeks instead of 3 to deliver the car, well worth the wait in my book. I will not consider shipping any other way to some how save money or lower my asking price. I am paying $7,500 to the west coast and $8,000 to the east coast so I am really only getting 49-50k for a car that I have about 100k invested in. So with that being said; I do not want to wast anyones time watching this car on ebay thinking it will possible sell for less than asking price. $57,500 is my rock bottom with the quality of Viper and shipping methods, so if you want it you just as well "buy it now" so you wont have to wait as long to get it.
Active duty military and I took my car with me to Guam. It rains every day , the max speed limit is 35 mph, Basically it was mistake to have taken the car here, and I refuse to drive it and get caught in the rain. I have been taking it out of the garage and waxing it once a month for 2 years, and I have two years to go on this tour. Car would be better off back in the states and I could use the money for new family. Have over 30k in professionally installed upgrades and tuning was done by ROE Racing. The car is in excellent shape, super clean and super fast. Car is also supper dependably, you could easily take road trips with this car with not a single issue, drives just like a regular Viper until you hit about 50% throttle.....then hang on! All the performance parts listed have less than 1k miles. The Nitrous kit is a 100 hp shot and was only used during tuning, has not been used after that. The buy it now price includes shipping to your door after full payment is received. I am federal law enforcement, and will have you involved every step of the way when shipping; I will pay and set up shipping, and new owners name will also be on all shipping docs and will have POC with the shipping company. It will be sent from Guam to Long beach by a enclosed car carrier ship, then trucked to your door. Will take about 3 weeks after payment is received;and will be insured. If need be I will supply contact information to verify everything with my Command.

MotorWeek is bringing the automotive world a wonderful blast from the past with its latest Retro Review. Not only does the video feature the now-famous, original Dodge Viper, but this is also a chance to watch one lapping Pocono International Raceway in a test of track prowess. This segment was MotorWeek's first chance to unleash the Viper around a racecourse, and the show took advantage of the opportunity. In addition to the usual 0-60 mph and quarter-mile tests, the 400-horsepower V10 is let loose to do lap after lap. The clip offers a great dose of nostalgia and is worth a watch to remember the intense enthusiasm surrounding the Viper at the time.

I can pinpoint the exact moment when I fell in love with this car. It was starting down a nearly straight entrance ramp at 15 miles per hour when I buried the throttle. In a moment, I was thrown back into my seat as the big SRT8's engine came to life with commensurate sound, fury and force, bringing me up to 75 mph in what felt like two blinks of an eye. This thing feels so much quicker than its 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque would lead you to believe. And mashing the right pedal never, ever gets old.
But beyond sheer speed, I found a whole lot to like about the Charger SRT8 during my week with the Pitch Black test car here in Detroit. And while the whole Super Bee kit isn't really my style, it's really easy to overlook those badges for a package that offers so much for so little.

Straight off its refresh, the Dodge Durango is slipping back into its dress blues and getting back to work. The 2014 Dodge Durango Special Service Vehicle boasts all the refinements and improvements that the refreshed, civilian-spec model received, most notably a 15-percent improvement in fuel economy.
Designed for police and fire departments, and as Chrysler's answer to the Ford Police Interceptor Utility and Chevrolet Tahoe PPV in the growing service SUV market, the Durango boasts a 600-mile range, thanks to the addition of an eight-speed automatic, available on both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Equipped with the 360-horsepower Hemi, the Durango SSV can tow up to 7,400 pounds (the V6 is limited to 6,200 pounds).
Police and fire department Durangos get a few special features over the civilian models. The electric systems are ruggedized, with a heavy duty battery and a 220-amp alternator in place, while the engine's water pump and oil cooler are both stronger. The brakes are tougher, and a load-leveling suspension has been fitted, too.
