a wonderful trip
i didn't sleep and i started my journey 530am early in saturday morning reached morgantown, pa at 915am. i was driving in the snow/ice. my svx was the dirties one(full of salt) out there. drove like whole afternoon in the saturday(tired) but really enjoyed the tour and the beautiful views(made me alert). i was the last one to leave(not stay in the hotel) i talked to john & mr.rusty until 2am then i started my journey back. i reached my morgantown on sunday 515pm.(john and your dad, i actually arrived later than you guys) because i drop by hagerstown, also spent some time for rest. it seemed i drove my SVX like 36hrs - non stop. i really enjoyed the ride and quality.
i enjoy meeting with diff diff SVXers and seeing diff diff SVXes. that's fun. total distant of 739.4miles w/ 30.6 gallons of premium gas. avg mpg:24.16 that's pretty cool. my record of our total tour is 146.7miles. on the way there, i got 26mpg. on the way back, i got 26.12mpg w/ the spd of 75-80mph. auto a/c:71F. up and down at I70 and I68. i was pretty satisfied. a tank of gas: mixed w/ 75% of country roads: i got as low as 21.72mpg. conclusion: my SVX is definitely normal. driving mileage is really variable on the driving conditions. in my morgantown city drive: i only got 12-14mpg always. however, i'm too talkative for my reports. but, good to seeing everybody there and have fun in my very first svx meet. now, i also want to learn a little like Randy... of course, i can't remember as well as him and didn't get to see all people...at least i know i didn't richard_51. randy - of cos good to see you. but i don't know what to say...how come you're late back from your car wash and didn't do the headlight cleanings demo but my headlights are so clean now larry - thanks larry for your tour. finally to see you how you look like. you're actually like what i thought. i wish we could stop by at the country rd side took some great pics. john - thanks for your information guide. your SVX is too new. i'm happy i'm finally got my network stickers i want your t-shirt. ron - good to see you. you look younger than i thought. how could you drive so fast with the small doughnut. mike(green) - thanks for ur ride. i confirmed my bearings are cool. i like your right-hand-side mirror. do you still have heat function in there? jakesvx - now i remember, my professor's svx, the speedometer also doesn't work but his check light doesn't come on dough - good to see you. you are tall. sigh didn't get to see your car and the mileage....hehe lwin - congrat on your penguin. i'm waiting for the pics(related to my starting) you said you would post... zeppelin - are you going to fix your rust? thanks for taking the last picture for me beside the svx board. i am excited to see how it comes out.... never2phat - it'll be better if you've a new headlight on the left... i remember your plate...don't drive too fast... nubsjr - why did you always clean your car by your duster...almost every time you stopped... SvXit - you came late... i guess i was the new face to you.. was that your old plate that you put on rear dashboard? montypython - i know your car. i was at the back of you...for the last bridge... i was talking to you and your wife..do you remember me? lambomanpa - you and your wife were sitting beside me while having buffet?? your '96 has a newer headlight on the right... hee.. kelli - i said hi to you. do you remember me? you got your antenna fixed? ravi - you and your bro look alike...hope you fix your 'stop lamp' soon... also, nice to see all the other 3 west virginia SVXes, i remember your plates and colors... and any any other...i believe i can recognise your faces...but may not be sure for the names.. that's too long of my post.. that's a piece of good memory of last weekend's svx parade...

Great Meet
Hi everyone,
I would like to say that I enjoyed seeing everyone. I have never met an SVX'er that I did not enjoy talking to. It is great to put faces with the names that I see here everyday. I hope everyone had a good time, even if we all got lost a few times on the drive. See everyone in July.

Plate cover....didn't age well!! :)
We stopped along the way at a Target to get a rear liscense plate cover like Maria's (blow through many tollbooths with that liscense cover on Maria?) and we were on our way back... except Lwin's car was dead.
OK, ok. The cover didn't age well, what can I say!! I DO HAVE EASY PASS!!!!! For 3 different states! Thank you very much! Well, if you all take a look at this month's "Drive" magazine, they are Calling All Clubs. I quote: "If your Subaru-based club would like to appear in "Club News,"drop us a line! We're always interested in showcasing clubs that offer a variety of events for Subaru enthusiasts." Think they want us? I'm gone for 10 days, everyone(I CAN'T WAIT!!)! You all take good care, and do NOT blow through any toll booths!! Maria! |

Transmission Update:
After being without my baby for 5 days and having to endure the pain of a Saturn rental car, I found out what happened to her. It seems the forward clutch gears went. That was second hand from my wife after she talked to service so I appologize if the lingo isn't correct. Total cost: Approx $2,100. My cost: $100. For those keeping track the $1200 or so I spent on the warranty plus $300 for 4 service calls (Becker picked up the $100 for the one in which they had the car for 3 weeks) I have been spared $4358 in warranty repairs. Not too bad. Hope to get her back by Tuesday or Wednesday. Thanks to everyone who wished us luck. And I'm thankful everyone didn't get to see her dragged up onto the flatbed! Dan |

Methinks you're still a couple decades off, Kelli.
