3 months of not seeing SVX

Hi All,

Maybe few of you guys remember.. I was sent to Hong Kong for 3 months because of my business.
And yes, ah it's over, I'm finally BACK!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, 3 months of not driving ANY car. Came back to LA last Thursday. Next day I jump started dead SVX and charged up the battery for about 1 hour. Bit scary to drive a car since it's been a while but I was just so excited to see and drive my SVX! Oh yeah she was dirty...

Here's the pics of her, 3 months of covered parking and couple of days of sunny parking.










I washed up after these shots. Now she's clean

And I'm home!

-Ryu

Is the rain really that dirty or was the car dirty before you left?

That is what my cars look like after a day because of the gravel pit that is near me.

That's morning dew dragging the 3 month's of dust down.. not a rain. I don't think that happen so much when it's parked under the roof, but when I came back from Hong Kong and moved my car outside for couple of days, that happened.

Yeah but the rain in LA can do that too??

Yeah, welcome back. I remember you went to the HK and said Hi from there.....

How was HK? How did you like it?


PS: Is the IS better than SVX?

Maybe you need car covers for all of your SVXs??? Do you already have?

PS: Is the IS better than SVX?

HK was great, in terms with working with so many nice fellows. Living there... ah, sorry, I'm still not used to that air quality and humidity, and soooo many people everywhere. I really hoped to see SVX in there, but no chance after all. One of my co-worker who loves SVX told me there was only 2 or 3 SVX imported. So if I saw it, I must be too lucky. I still liked to go back to HK for just business trip... like couple of days, not 3 months!

IS sportscross is a good car, I like it, we bought that car since it's reliable, sporty, very functional, plus it has cool looks in that category. (and my wallet says yes finally) But I've always loved my SVX better even it's leaking, smoking and making some noises...etc. I just can't help it, you know.

Wow, that'll be cool if you can see one there.

Yeah, IS is a pretty good car.
