Another Milestone
Well, Bessie has surpassed yet another milestone: 210,000 miles!
We rode into it in style. Sun shining (well actually blazing), Fresh Prince's "Summertime" cranking on the stereo, in the fast lane on I-94 doing about 95MPH. I wanted to cruise in at 120, but traffic was too heavy and I don't take very many risks anymore. Less than 40,000 to the quarter million mile mark. Here we come!!! Doug

Miles of smiles
Of our three workhorses, the Swift GT twincam has the most miles at 150k, the SVX is next with 140k and Jean's Impreza brings up the rear with ONLY 90k. Soon we will have three in the 100k plus club! Don

Re: Another Milestone
Maybe you should try to show up at the 2002 meet at the quarter mil mark.
Wonder if Subaru would do anything for you... VK Quote:

Knowing SOA, they might not do a single thing. They will probably take your name and number and say they are going to put it on their record that you are the current owner of the SVX but if you check a month later, you are still not on their DB... or is it just me in the middle of the night...

It's just you, lwin. Maybe if you would stop searching the net for weatherstripping, you'd get a full nights sleep. Doug

Lwin,
Wait for winter in Chicago. You can turn off your AC and you'll be praying for heat. Larry III PS: (1) Don't you just love those icy blasts off the lake. (2) Until you've slept the night at O'hare, you won't have back problems. |
