Who is the authoritative source?

I want to get in touch with these "sources." If you don't want to post the information here in the forum, send it to me in an e-mail (john@subarusvx.com) and I'll follow up with these people to see how to get the car to the meet. Hey, I just had another idea... Subaru is planning to unleash the "radical new" SVX in 2003 (see Sept 25, 2000 Autoweek). The 2003 model year cars should be coming out in September of 2002. Our meet is only a couple of months before that. So they'd at least have a couple of the new SVX ready by then right? Maybe they'd see the 10th Anniversary meet as a great opportunity to picture their new SVX in front of its beautiful heritage. I've got a friend who is the parts distributer for Subaru for the entire east coast. I'll get in touch with him to get the names of some Subaru staff who can make this stuff happen. I'll keep you posted |

PPG Car Located
I am in contact with a guy who knows where the SVX PPG Pace Car is. He is going to talk to some folks at Subaru about having it at the 10th Anniversary Meet.
Here's what he told me: --------------------------------------------- He saw the car last month The car has been in storage for years (it's very dusty) It still runs (He actually got to ride in it around the block) It has been used on rare occaisons for special press events It would have to be shipped (not driven) to the event in Indiana...and that may be a sticking point for Subaru. But, with a year to work out the details, I think something can be arranged. A possible plus is that the presence of the pace car at the meet may make it easier to get that lap around Indy. Cross your fingers and I'll keep you apprised of all developments. |

Larry - I'm sure you done thought of this already, but have you factored in the inevitable dropout rate? Have you noticed any lack of posts, either here or "there" from early signers-on? Face it, we got a year to go, & we know these cars ain't built by Maytag. Dooms-day scenario.... 10 of the 100 have secretly traded in for sedans & vans, 'cause "baby on board", 30 of the remaining 90 are '92s & the yet undiscovered "REPLACE AIR BAG" light goes on, ignition interlock activates & car won't start. Dealer says "time to pay 3K please", "Oh? - yes, you can push it into that big dumpster right there". 20 of the remaining 60 belong the "under 25" crowd, & have been disintegrated trying to beat 5.0 Mustangs. 20 of the remaining 40 are on cinderblocks waiting for tranny parts. 10 of the remaining 20 were T-boned during road rage incidents. 5 of the remaining 10 were lost in the "Great West Verginny Flood of '02". 3 of the remaining 5 were stolen & shipped to Uraguay for parts.
This leaves you & Aredub, who will ship his to Indiana on a flatbed to spite that airbag crap. I hope the naviguesser doesn't have a headache that day. Better keep recruitin' Ron/Tsu

So which category did you fall into, Tsu?
Thankfully, we are on top of one of those West Virginny hills, so the great flood of '02 won't get us!

SVX in storage
One of the saddest things I have ever seen is the training SVX at SCC (Spokane Community College). It's been there for years, it's a red one. It has hardly any miles on it, because once a year (approximately) it will get run into the lab area of the college and be used to show techs how to use some new gadget or demonstrate a procedure. The rest of the year it sits out in the fenced area where drunken college kids throw beer bottles and assorted other crap on it. And yes it's a top o' the line LSI with all the bells and whistles. I'm thinking it must be a '93 because of the color, and the number of years I saw it sitting there.

10th Anniv. SVX Meet
Hi Gang,
Just to let you know that I just signed-up #112 for this meet. Ron, I have considered the "drop-out rate" . I expect between 75-90 cars to show up at the meet with approx. 120-160 people. It is becoming "unmanageable" I was thinking of having my SVX repainted in "Metalflake Taxicab Yellow" along with the appropriate black checkerboard detail lines; then adding a roof light and hood medallion; all for Randy's benefit.
