An SVX, a little wax, a little rain, in LA and a sighting...
A few days before the New Year it rained here in LA. I had just detailed my car a week before and was not upset about taking it out... for one, I wanted to see the water bead up on the thing... and to see how the new wipers worked...
And a sighting... PaulDexler here on the forums! Last edited by dbarnblatt; 01-10-2010 at 09:52 AM. |

Yes... it looks a little lighter(?) because of the water droplets all over it.

Great looking car... Too bad you missed your chance to select the really great windshield wipers that are available now

The wipers work flawlessly... brand new Bosch Excel+. Nearly as good as the Icons. I want to stay away from the Icons because I'm trying to keep everything looking sort of original. The Icons to me are just too modern. I also have a set of the original Subaru blades that have the little stop built into them for the "Summer" setting on the wiper control.

We must be close. I live in Redondo Beach and I work in El Segundo.
You may have spotted mine too!

But it's not a question on whether the car looks modern or not. It's about the details for me, and as the car becomes more and more rare I want to preserve the way the car would have looked during it's production run.... even right down to the wipers. That's also why I'm on a feverish hunt for some original wheels... which I have just found. We are fans and owners of a car that is now almost 20 years old as far as when the first ones rolled off the line. And the model really did not change over the 6 year production run. It is a car that is well footed in the 1990's in looks and design. I know some of us like to put on 18" rims and LED Knight Ryder lights... but I just want originality... that stuff was just not around. Last edited by dbarnblatt; 01-14-2010 at 10:35 AM. |

Re: An SVX, a little wax, a little rain, in LA and a sighting...
Where is that cruise location? I used to go to the Coffee Roaster in Calabasas, but the mall management shut it down. There isn't a good cruise location near here anymore.
I like the effect we had on other motorists as we caravaned down the 405. Paul

Lots of cars show up, Leno shows up sometimes... a cool bunch of car guys. The Early Rodders organized it and it is just a casual thing. Here is the location: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...,0.014184&z=17 |
