Home safe!

Thanks for the well wishes guys. I made it home just fine.

Had a little trouble at 1:30 AM in Springfield, MO...couldn't find a hotel room after a full day of driving. Pressed on for another hour to Joplin, MO. Slept like a baby.

Unfortunately, I don't have any good road stories.

All I can say is that the SVX is perfect for that trip. I've been having back problems for a few weeks now, and the last 2 days of sitting in the SVX seats left me with less back pain than I feel on a normal day. I also noticed that at 100mph, everything in the SVX just goes mute. I turned off the stereo at 100mph, and just started laughing because I couldn't hear a thing. No engine noie, no tire noise (even on my oddly worn tires), no exhaust noise, no wind noise...nothing. The trip made me remember why I love this car.

Todd, I'll PM you soon regarding the MAF and ECU...the MAF is a definate go, but I still can't decide on the ECU. I'm gonna try it for a few more days and see how the car acts. Thanks for all of your help!

-Mat
