Reverse Sighting

Friday morning I went into work real early. I was on I-95 in northern DE traveling about 70 mph in SVXY ('92SVX). I noticed a pair of bright headlights closing fast from the rear. They were too close together to be a police cruiser(full size Ford) and they were too blue white. It was a siver Lexus 2-seater with the convertible hardtop. I think it is a Lexus 430 but am not sure of the exact model number. I backed off abit to let it pass but instead the guy driving slowed down and matched my speed. He looked at the SVX all over ; staying side by side and inching up and back for about 20 seconds. Then he gave me a big smile and accelerated on his way.
I guess he never saw an SVX (pearl) up close before. It sure made my morning.

I can't help but smile when people who drive cars similar to that suddenly find themselves slackjawed looking at a 14 year old car like the SVX. I wonder what goes through their mind when they see cars like the SVX.

"I subscribe to Car and Driver and have never seen a car like that in my life! When did it hit showrooms and why wasn't I informed!!!"

Things like that are definately day makers right there.

The only Lexus hardtop convertible is the SC 430. They have been out for about 4+ years. I fixed on when I was in the body shop.

Some lady took her husband SC430 out while he was on a trip and ripped the rear bumper off. Lexus of Annapolis sent to us to fix. We tried to fix if before the husband got home but the cars was only 3 months old and there were no parts in country yet. All was good in the end but there marriage I am not sure of. Her was pretty darn mad.

I had a Lotus Elise pull up next to me at a light once and the woman driver, really hot, looked the me over, I think she was looking at the car, and gave me a smiling nod. That was pretty cool for me.

BTW, Larry. Did you know that the SC 430's wheels will fit the SVX perfectly? I think they are 19". Find SVXXX26 at Reading - he'll have them on his car!! Great looking too!!

when were rollin in her SVX it turns everyone but old peoples heads. The first thing everyone sees is the 18" chrome muranos. they have alot lower offest so it makes the wheels almost even with the fenders.. last weekend we pulled up and some younger kids were looking and scratching there heads. I saw them pointing to the windows so I had to crack mine about 3/4 of the way and really git them going. its funny how people try to keep next to you too figure out what your driving.

Larry, your SVXY license plate sure makes your SVX more SEXY. You should roll down your sexy window and smiled at him when he passed you. That might give him more impressions...
