4 SVX's in one day!
Well this must be a record for Denver....but I managed to see 4 different SVX's yesterday, all within the 5 miles around my work.
Anyone part of this club? They were: forest green silver/grey black claret/black (like mine) I think the guy in the Claret one was dumbfounded that someone else had the same car as him. He didn't seem all that pleased for some reason. Oh well. Ryan |

This is not humanly possible. I'm not sure that I've seen four SVXs on the road in the last *year.*
Sigh. ;*) --Brad |

I'm serious! Maybe I just work in SVX central. I've seen the grey/silver (not sure which its supposed to be) quite a few times, and the green one as well. They are pretty noticeable due to the tint they both have. First time I've seen a black one though, or another claret for that matter. Maybe its a convention I didn't hear about.

<<I've seen the grey/silver (not sure which its supposed to be)>>
Ryan, The correct "name" for that color (according to the brochure) is "Liquid Silver." If it has a black top, it's a '92 and the only year it was offered (unlike Pearl -- '92 & '94). Never, ever refer to a "serious" SVX owner's car as "Hunter Green." It would be "Dark Teal" in '92, Emerald Pearl in '94 or "Polo Green" in 95-97. Black's "official" name is "Ebony Pearl" in all years. I won't get into the big story about the change in color names from the Service Manual to the Showroom. If you're terribly curious, you can do a search on the Message Archives. Just one interesting tidbit, however. Your "Claret" was known as "Dark Red Mica" in the Service manual.

<<Were you an interior decorator at one point?? Maybe a fushia would go better than the mouve....
>> No, worse . . . Marketing! That's what happened to the colors. "Marketing" thought "Ebony Pearl" "Dark Teal" "Pearl" "Liquid Silver" "Claret" sounded better than "Black Mica" "Peacock Blue" "White Mica" "Silver Mica" and "Dark Red Mica" respectively. Of course, if I'd had my 'druthers, I'd have thrown in a puce with a light chartreuse interior There are many on this board who've met me. They can attest to the amount of feminine qualities I exhibit.

Can't remember the artist or the year, but, the title is "The Ballad of Ben Gay." ADDENDUM: Further research revealed the artist as "Ben Gay and the Silly Savages" the year: 1974

Damn we used to laugh at that as we were patroling the city! (I used to be a poleece explorer and got to ride with the cops). Cops pull funny pranks too! They'd take the extra set of keys to someones partol car and while they were in eatin a donut or having some coffee or something they'd unlock the car and turn up all the radios and then turn on the wipers and top lights, sirens, and anything else that might come on with the key...then sit in a secluded place and watch the guy freak out at 4:00 am.

Randy,
<<< Of course, if I'd had my 'druthers, I'd have thrown in a puce with a light chartreuse interior. >>> Can you viualize "YELLA" or should I say "Lemonesque" for the marketing types. Larry III PS: "Spin dem' 45's platter boy"!!! I'm looking for mint condition 45's of the following: "White Christmas" by Clyde McPhater & the Drifters. "Crying in the Chapel" by Sonny Till & the Orioles.l Let me know if you can get them. Also looking for early Paul Anka hits that he recorded in Italian |

Aredub...
There are many on this board who've met me. They can attest to the amount of feminine qualities I exhibit. Oh, I dunno 'bout that, the last time I drank with a woman who'd down ouzo or whiskey like you, she had a beard and deeper voice than mine... NH where the men are men and the women are too. Eddycatt... I used to be a paramedic, and we'd play a few jokes on the newbies. While on a break or getting coffe, we'd attach a length of IV tubing to the winshield washer pump, and run it up the a-pillar, and set the tip just out of the visor. A little spritz of baby powder on the windshield... and.... when the newbie got in the rig, and tried to clean his windshield all of a sudden his shirt would turn a spotty pale shade of blue! Seth |

I've tried various times over the years to replicate one of those, but they just don't look right, this was an actual musical instrument someone had modified, a trumpet or something.

The marketing folks would likely call it "Lemondrop Pearl." I would call it . . . . AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH! As for the 45's, the one's I have in my collection are mostly from the early-middle 70's. The 45 supply has kinda dried up, however, there's a used record store in Louisville, KY that might have some. Next time I'm up there, I'll check it out.

For the life of me, I can understand what my Aunt Beulah was doing in New Hampshire.
