Wheels

<On my SVX there are ATP-Wheels. Size like original wheels (16 x 7,5) only the offset (is this the correct word?) is 50mm and not 55.
I drive summer and winter with them. >

Thanks Kusi, I'll check on the web and see if they are sold stateside. Don

Yeah, but we are talking "cheese" here....so it must have been the Kurds.

NO WHEY!!!, Don.

i was crazy for yellow svx, too. thinking that if i ever get my svx repainted, it'd be yellow. but not at this moment. yellow is nice, but imagine, if the yellow svx gets stuck at time square, ny or somewhere lot of cabs. it'll be like one of the yellow cabs. i don't want to spend couple thousands dollars and it looks like a yellow cab or the school bus color. (just my thinkings)

so i'm still thinking what'll be the best color for an svx?
I was thinking of yellow at one time on my repaint -- but do you know how many cops would pull you over just because of that?

Red is no different either. Anyways, I am thinking of silver or the new charcoal grayish colour on the Audi TT would look swell on the SVX I think.

Go with a dark gray tint on the glass and I think you have the scheme I'd choose. Slick, very slick. And yet dignified.

surprisingly

i think the yellow svx looks pretty good.

when i repaint my svx it will be the super bright mercedes silver. i love that color and i think it will really make the svx sing.

Any bets on how long it will take before we see a TT stretch limo?

Around these parts we call them school busses

Really, paint a stretched Excursion yellow (there's that word again) and it would look just like the bus that picks my boy up in the morning.

And no, he isn't a short busser like his old man was

I recently attended a wedding in New Jersey. The limo de jour was a white Lincoln Navigator about two zip codes long. The interior looked like the bar at a Vegas strip joint, only gaudier. Purple neon lights in the ceiling etc. Only thing missing was a roulette wheel, at least I couldn't find one. Eat yer hearts out, Taliban.

<jesus by a damn 18-wheeler! >

I was in Pittsburgh recently and saw the father of the Excursion. Don't know what it is called (I was afraid to get too close) but it had semi truck running lights. I remember hearing they were required by law because of the vehicles size. I'll see if I can find a picture of the thing and post a link. The thing would not fit in a standard garage I can say for certain.

you know just generally speaking....

about automobiles, they have recently gotten much bigger.

i personally do not like cars much bigger than the SVX.
