Flying off tomorrow to pick up a RED 97 LSi w/20K mi!
Well folks, I'm flying off to Oregon tomorrow with my dad to pick up a red 97 LSi. I am still in shock that I found an SVX with less than 20,000 miles.
I am bringing a 35mm, a digital camera, a miniDV, and a Meade GO TO Refractor to stare at the stars at night. Oh yes, and lets not forget the iPod. I'll be driving down the Oregon coast, onward to Idaho, Utah, Colorado/Arizona corners, New Mexico...essentially through the Rockies and Grand Canyon... then traveling directly east to Georgia. I will be sure to take plenty of pics and video to document everything for an upcoming website: www.badsvx.com. I'll be sure to take several pics in different lighting conditions in high res. with different vistas in the background for next years Calendar. Porter, I'll be sure to swing by the shop so you can check it out! It will be after Thanksgiving. Talk to you guys soon. Arondale |

If you break down by Boulder, let me know. I'll steal your car when you're not looking and part it out to this board, nobody will ever catch on....

For the last year, we have been working on an Amgen project which is being built in Boulder. Alot of our company's people are out there. I'm hoping to get a trip out there myself. I will PM you when I do. Maybe we can meet up and discuss SVX things.

That sounds like just a fabulous way to enjoy a new SVX. I know that when I bought mine, all I wanted to do with it was just drive and drive...
Have a great trip.

Wow! Reminds me of when I bought my '94- off a 4 year lease w/ only 27,000 miles and pristine condition.
Now I've got 126,000 miles- at least it rides like new- I just installed new struts (OEM) at all corners. With my winter tires newly swapped, I'm already for the white stuff they're predicting this weekend. I'm envious- Enjoy!! -Mark |

as for my low number of posts, i can attribute that to being very fortunate with the svx. i haven't had any major problems with either one. i've learned a lot from other members, but i'm not very mechanically inclined so i doubt i'd be of any help to anyone. however, i love the opportunity to bring up the fact that i am lucky to have an svx with so few miles. just hope that others can appreciate my good fortune and not be too jealous.
