r u the friend of the guy with screenname "02darkRS" on ohiosubaru network?

anyway enjoy ur drives in SVX and install the cooler as soon as u can.

-Pavan.
Yeah he bought a 2.5 RS last winter. The ohiosubaru crowd told me you had one and I'm 1 of 2 svx owners on the site, but I guess I'm the only one now that you moved.

Bill, I don't think I have the cleanest SVX by a long-shot...

Cleanest SVX I've ever laid my eyes on belongs to John Hoffman (svxcess) who's '96 Polo Green LSi is spotless from top to bottom...seriously! John cleans & paints stuff on his car that only road-kill and and his mechanic will ever see! Here he is parked behind me at Harry's place last June:



Harry Newman's (newsvx) '97 LSi comes in a close second.

I don't think my SVX could ever be in their league but I do keep it looking nice-n-tidy inside and out!

Chike,
I was referring to Earl's comment about the SVX not being a drag racing car...

Welcome to the site Brian......That is indeed a clean looking car. Nice color too. So did you buy that car at Byer's Subaru in Dublin.....I drive by there every now and then when I come up from Cleveland.

Congrats!

Beautiful car! Thought I had one of the cleanest silver '92's (currently 39K mi), but yours looks just as nice!

The Liquid Silver cars may be the rareist, as it was a '92 color only (at least in the US)

Here are some sales numbers by color. This came from Brian DeLacey's newsletter from the old "SVX Motor Club" and the numbers came straight from SofA. As of 9/17/1993, US sales by color were:

Liquid Silver: 880
Claret: 1492
Black: 1507
Pearl White: 1943
Teal: 1944

When I bought my car in 6/93, it was the only silver SVX available in the LA area: Al the others I found were either Black or Pearlies
