Talking It's about time!

Well, i'm the proud new (third) owner of a gorgeous '94 LSi Laguna!

the original owner had died and his daughter sold it off in the man's estate sale in texas. when it was sold to the guy I bought it from, it had around 40k miles, and when i bought it today, it had 52,480 not bad for a 13 year old car! it's in downright sweet condition too! i'll get some pics up when i find some free time technically speaking, this is my first car, i'm 18 years old and up until now i've simply driven the 3rd family vehicle, nobody else drove it, just me since i was 14, but now i have a car in my own name, and an SVX no less!

it's just one of those things on a list of stuff to do before you die, and definitely somewhere near the top of that list

anywho i'm really really glad to be a part of such an exclusive yet inclusive club!

-Gr8

haha yeah I do get rolling eyes and some occasional flak for my "GR8DANE" license plates, but since my name is dane, my parents thought they would be a nice bday present for my 15th bday to go on the blazer i drove. Cool thing about this state is that you get to keep the plates for whatever car you own, so there'll soon be a GR8DANE SVX rolling around haha i've already had somebody look at the plates, and then my car, and they tell me the car's styling is "Purebred Mutt"

i'll take that as a compliment!

You can tell them it's PEDIGREED, being drawn by the Italian Georgio Gugario, of ItalDesign. No Mutt to it.

I actually did explain that to one person, and they just sorta stared and said "But I thought Subaru was Japanese?"


oh well, you can't win'em all I guess.

god, I love this car.

GR8Dane is a great name! I play in a pool league and there is a men's team in another city named "The Well-Hungarians." You figure it out.

hahaha I take it that modesty is not one of their strongest traits?

oh and i just took some pictures of my car, terrible storm blowing thru here all of the sudden but i caught it in all its wet, sexy glory =]

i'll have those pictures up in just a little bit here, transferring them from a pc to my mac because kodak easyshare seems to refuse to play with anything that it's software won't run on haha lame.

picture time!

Yeah, there was a torrential downpour just before i went out to take some pics!









it was love at first sight, just need a good name for him/her (haven't decided)

because "Blue-baru" and "SmurVX" just sound goofy hahahaha

oh, and I love how the plates practically blend in perfectly (color-wise) with the body, especially on the rear, where the plate conveniently does a fade to red as it goes up toward the tail light bar and blue on the fade down toward the bumper, I dunno, In my mind it's one of the few times that license plates have actually looked good on a car, my state has great plates! woo!
