Talking The way a garage should look. PART 2!




I followed an old lady in an SVX into a Jewel parking lot about 3 month ago, and spent some time talking to her. She had a 92 claret with 40k miles on it. I gave her my number, and told her to call me when she wanted to sell it. (retired couple, and they only need 1 car now).
So a few months go by, and out of the blue, she calls me and tells me they're ready to sell it.
Seeing how I just bought my 96, getting another one for me was out of the question. All sorts of schemes raced through my head on how I could get my hands on this one. So...long story short, we bought it for my mom to drive instead of her Denali.
It's a 92 LS, now with 46k miles!
It's in mint (but dusty) condition, and it drives awesome. (PS o-ring fix needed).

So now we're a permanent multi-svx family. She already wants rims (16's), and she wants to go to the drag strip together to see who's is really faster .




I'll try to get some better pics tomorrow, after a good washing (no time for a full detail . )


p.s. Yes, I know about the wheels.

Don't let her in on the secret that she can get ecutune right now and you can't. Then you will be sure that she isn't faster.

Very nice, I wish my garage looked like that....

Thumbs up

That's awesome Bwana! Your mom sounds really cool if she wants to race you at the dragstrip - I put my money on hers...

Love the mods she wants to get.

My dad now drives our Denali. He gave his A6 to my brother, and we gave my brothers A4 to our cousins. (3 drivers, 2 cars, and they all work at the same time...and cant afford another car)

...Did you notice that one or the rims is not on the correct side of the car???

Do her a favour (apart from the HUGE favour you did buying her a car) and grab a wheel brace...
