Aaaand, it's free!

Please forgive the crappy cell phone picture hastily taken before I went to work. This was sort of a momentous occasion: my SVX leaving the garage!

Re: Aaaand, it's free!

The RX8 wheels look fantastic! Its so nice to see that there are still some SVXs left that are in nice condition.

You know, I'm pretty happy with how those wheels look. Thanks for providing an example - it never occurred to me to try them!

The stock wheels will be back on once I get those repainted. For now the RX8 can give up its wheels and ride on another set. I wish my 17x9 Weds would fit on the SVX. I think those would look really nice, but I have 255-wide tires on them. Those tires will fit under the RX8 easily, but probably not the SVX.

Re: Aaaand, it's free!

Man, that's a lot farther than I'm planning to drive the car any time in the near future. It really needs its own tires, instead of borrowing the RX8's. Also, the struts are completely done for. I think one of the rear calipers is also dragging.

A rear caliper dragging on a 90s Subaru? Say it ain't so!

Seriously, as much as I would like to meet up with you guys again, I'm not driving over 12 hours to do so in that crappy parking lot. I was there for the first one. Maybe I'll do a 'Fall Foliage: Part Deux' meet in WI some time.

I'll tell you what, though. It's easy to forget the attention the SVX gets. I remember it, but it's funny to experience it again.

Your SVX looks great! Congratulations on getting it out on the road again.
My second car is also an RX-8. Great minds!

Re: Aaaand, it's free!

The SVX is a funny thing. As I said, I think in another thread, I forgot how much attention this car gets. I've been driving it for all of three days and I've already received an offer to buy it. Somebody left a note on my windshield with their phone number saying, 'My wife wants to buy your car!!!'

The Red and RX8 combo really looks nice. I used to never be a fan of red.
