I have also asked Subaru of America (SOA) of the whereabouts of the SVX PPG Pace Car they created back in 1991. There had been some discussion of how neat it would be to have it at the meet. Wouldn't it be REALLY COOL if it lead us around the track at Indy!!!????

That would be SUPERCOOL!

Yes - please pursue this, John!

To All,

I have the following on good authority. The PPG Pace has been sitting in the back of a garage in the Cherry Hill, NJ area near SOA headquarters. It has not been run regularly. In fact, it usually has no battery. A battery is put in to turn the engine over at semi-regular intervals. That's about all I do know for sure about it. It probably needs all its fluids changed and new tires. The present tires are probably flat spotted.

IMHO it's a damn shame.

I'll trade my SVX for that pace car.... do you think SOA would mind?

The purple PPG SVX Pace Car is scheduled to be retired, and parked in the museum.

What museum and where is it ?

Well, tell 'em that next June would be the perfect time to schedule a formal retirement ceremony --- AFTER it takes a lap around the Brick Yard. It would make for some great publicity, especially if it's "pacing" some 100+ SVXes instead of a bunch of crappy indy cars.

Randy,

The Meet is next July so how can they retire it next June.
Go easy on the Makers' Mark, It's beginning to deaden those brain cells.

Shhhhh...anyone that read the AWS thread knows that already. (kick, kick, damn dead dog)

Eddy,

Have you been spiking Aredub's Makers' Mark again with that dang Synthetic Alkyhol.

Larry, have you discussed this with the SOA rep? He may be the man who can make it happen.

Hi Gang,

As of this morning we have 111 SVXers signed-up to attend this meet. More & more SVXers send me e-mails everyday inquiring about it. I have updated the sign-up sheet in my locker.
On the Yahoo SVX Club site I tried to post the updated list to my briefcase, but Yahoo wouldn't allow me to get into my briefcase. I just love the quirkiness of that site. It kind of reminds me of a certain automobile that we all go "GA GA" over.

Just keep those cards, letters and e-mails coming gang.

Larry III
PS: I sent a couple of SVXers with tech. problems over to this site and told them to check out Eddycat's Garage. I hope they joined.

PPS: I think Aredub has been licking the shipping grease off the wheel bearings again. Either that or he has his plug wires crossed.

Pat, have you talked to Don about it? Maybe he could be of some assistance in this area. (Sorry if I got your name wrong, but if you've read of my keyboard episode, I lost everything I had on the hard drive (including e-mail addresses) when my wife spilled a "tiny" bit of tea on the thing). AT any rate, he's got a little clout there I think, even though he won't admit it.

NO! He doesn't need that stuff, he has that famous KY (Ken-tuck-ee) jelly to lick up!

As for his plug wires getting crossed, the thought popped into my mind of Aredub as the trustee in "The Green Mile" when I read that, "walkin' the mile, walkin' the mile, walkin' the green mile."

Don??? Pye?

Well, yes, but I'm a little hesitant to use you guys names on the internet, I don't want' you bothered.
