Perfect way to begin 2005!!!

I had the entire day to myself and as it was a 70 degree sunny day in central VA, decided to wash both mine and my wife's cars. Gave my SVX the full treatment (wash, wax, armoroil, etc.) and cleaned areas on her that only roadkill could glance at...







Can't think of a better way to begin '05, than having a perfectly clean SVX in your driveway....

P.S. Spike TV was also having an all-day marathon of Horsepower TV which was cool to look at afterwards while sipping a cold Sam Adams!

Literally, I thought they would look small but they fit the car very well. Is it because red cars look smaller??? I think they would look as small on another color svx.

The wheels are 16x8 with a +50mm offset. Same diameter as the stock wheels but the 5 spoke design does show off my rotors and calipers better...

Thanks Jesse. I'm really lovin' those wheels...

The freakish weather is still persisting here in VA. It's been sunny over the last 3 days and the temps today were still in the mid 60's...

Your wife's turbo Baja looks awesome!

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

I wish I could clean mine, its only gotten up to 15* sense I've had it, MN weather kind of blows, I LOVE the car though, its fun going down the road while its icy and snowy without a problem while others are all over the place, the only thing that I'm Not A FAN OF IS HOW SCARY THE CAR REALLY IS, you sit about an inch lower than honda's windows, that kind of scares me sometimes, but I wouldn't trade the car for anything other than a Corvette(forgive me for that comment, I'm new to the SVX), the four days I've owned it have been awsome! Everyone really likes it when they see it, and when they ride in it they fall in love with it, the only real draw back for me is insurance, 1200 for six months! How much do you guys pay?, its probably extremely high also because I am a sixteen year old male, with alot of performance cars to boot.

Thanks Kelli! The person that owned the car before me had the body panels repainted under warranty due to fading. She really glimmers in the sunshine...
