Now that made my *cough* my friend's night.

Sweet story, James! I am pleased that the SVX was able to keep up with the S2000 on the freeway I am not, however, surprised about the positive comments on the SVX exaust note. I always thought it sounded awesome and wish like to hell to hear the sound from outside the car just one time Do you have the stock exaust or have you made some changes as the replacement opportunities have presented themselves?

James,,,,,,,, you let Cassie loose in your SVX to roam the streets, Picking on helpless Honda and Toyota hoons to burn off at the lights.

I take back all I have said about you 'coveting your can. Can I go for a blast in it when I come down. I'am saving mine.

Harvey.
