should I drive it?

Road Demon has had better days, But all it would really need is a new set of 4.44's thrown in it(which I have) and it would be good to go. I told myself I wouldn't take it out until it was fixed from the small accident, But I really want to bring it to Reading for the races and so I can have some fun. It's dirty in the pics but it cleans up nicely still except for the accident area. I was trying to have another car ready, But I haven't been able to locate one that I could get and fix fast enough and the one I did find the guy did the disappearing act on me. If I don't bring it and I still have the pearl for sale, I'll be driving it but it will spend most of the time in the parking lot as I don't want to put miles on it. Should I fix it up real quick and bring it? I'm posting some pics of it's current condition.

As of right now, 44.44% of the votes say fix road demon. Coincidence? (Probly)

At least the new guys will know who's car yours is

Ok, Now you guys are getting me hyped up to do this. I'm going to put serious thought into it, I'm just weary because I really don't want any pictures of the pass. side being taken as it bothers me alot that it's damaged. I can live with it though if people are telling me they want to see my car there and in action(and not to make fun of it for being wrecked). Can't disappoint my friends at the World Network.

I believe that too because my car is the same way. It's the fastest and best handling SVX I've driven to date(until Reading probably(if svxfiles can keep the belt on his supercharger long enough for me to drive it)). OK, The decision is made then. Road Demon will attend Reading VIII come hell or high water. Time to go out and get my new gauges in I guess. I might not get the oil pres. and water temp. hooked up by Reading, But I'll have them lit up and the battery gauge will work. See you all there and thanks for the vote of confidence to bring it.

subi-crosser Jerry has the spoiler and hopefully will have it repainted before Reading.
I just replaced the trans Tuesday.
(With another 3.545)

Cristine's heater quit this week.

But she STILL looks better than most!



Now for a new steering wheel, tweeters, and door sills.
