Just got back from Memphis at 2 this afternoon, took the dog out, fed the bird, had some soup and caught up on posts.
Had a wonderful time with Leo (1994subaruSVX) and his beautiful wife Marcella (?sp). I came back with my car loaded down with all kinds o' goodies. The wheels are ten times better looking than mine. I can't wait to get them on, but, need to find a paint match for the caps first (svxcess, do you have that paint number for the light colored aluminum wheels?). I also have front and rear struts ready to be put on when the current ones begin to fail. Along with a few other little goodies that Leo was getting rid of.
I was treated to an excellent lunch, then, we did the wiring upgrade on Leo's car, then, he let me drive it -- WOW! Much faster than my poor, pitiful AWD car. Very responsive. The "lowered" look with the Enkei's and bright yellow calipers makes the care look lean and mean (or should I say leaner and meaner). The exhaust sounds a little "ricey" (don't worry, I said it to Leo in person, and he didn't send me home, so, it didn't make him mad
).
We hung out the entire day, and I don't think I could have found a nicer couple to spend a day with. Of course, it was like Leo said: "we've never seen each other, but, I know you." That tends to be the general concencus when SVXers from the "boards" get together. I just hope I didn't make to bad of an impression, since my head was actually twice the size it usually is, due to a "over doing it" at a co-worker's going away get together on Friday night.
Again, Leo and Marcella. thank you for your hospitality. Hope to do it again sometime. Come visit us!
