Re: Moving on

The SVX arrived yesterday afternoon
The truck driver, Blue, was very interested in the car's styling and was shocked that it was a '92.

My first drive provided me with an interesting sound coming from the front right wheel, and when i got home (the drive was only a matter of maybe a minute) i saw that about 5 inches of the lip of the front rim was missing

We called the shipping company back and they agreed to buy a replacement rim.

Luckily I have another set of wheels I was able to throw on.
Cleaned her up, and drove her around today. There's a "rubbing" noise coming from the front right wheel that I'm going to have the dealership look at next week, the alignment is off pretty bad (pulling to the right), and the brakes feel like they might need some work but other than that the car is beautiful and completely blows my old svx out of the water.

few quick phone pics:
