Shockingly enough, we don't have one for WI yet... (I checked...)

So.. I'll start it off...

Black on Pearl w/spoiler heading W. on Dayton at about 4:27 a.m. Spotted at 1210 W. Dayton as I was outside for a smoke break.

It was really rather Twilight-zonish.. I was taking my time... Was out there for about 15 minutes and only one car drove past...

You know, when I was in Madison last spring to pick my friend up to go home, I saw an SVX. Black and Bordeaux though. Never did find out who that is.

Then, during two different times, I saw another Bordeaux just like mine around Dodgeville on HWY 151. I saw it twice and always going in the opposite direction (he was going south/west). The first time, I flipped out. The second time, I had enough time to waive and so did he. And that was it.

It's like a chance encounter with a gorgeous woman that never materializes (the SVX, of course).

Milwaukee Sightings

I see a 92 Black over Claret with IL plates on it parked at the Garage across from the McDonald's on North Ave just west of Oakland Ave.

I also occasionally see a 92 black over pearl parked in front of Bean Coffee Shop on MLK Drive and Reservoir Ave.

There is a 92 Black over Pearl parked at the downtown Post Office employee lot on St. Paul Ave every day.

I have left network cards on all three but have had no response from them.

And I've seen three in my hometown and I've never herad from any of those people either....

What we have here is a lot of people in Wisconsin who own the car but who don't seem to care as much as us.... or just don't know about this site.

Unknown year, Burgundy (I think) with a rear wing at the Soobie dealership I took Kitten to for an oil change and tire rotation.

I wrote a small note about this site and asked the guys there to put it in the car.

What I did NOT take her there for was the shattering of one of my undercarriage lights.. It's not like it was something I installed myself, or ever would, but it was kind of cool to have them. ...and of course, "We're not responsible for any aftermarket modifications, sorry..."

Ah well.

WI sighting

I see this brilliant red SVX down in Milwaukee by WE Energies and BCBS of WI buildings. (Michigan and 4th street) Tinted windows and rims. I just was woundering if this person is on this site. I saw them at the stop lights on 7/5/05.

That is Naim. He is on the site occasionally (not as much as he should be!). I work in the same building (WE Energies) and I park my SVX in the Grand Ave parking lot (Black over Claret).

There is also a White SVX in the USPS employee lot on 2nd and St. Paul. I have left cards on it over the last few years but never received a response.

Naim & I just happen to have the correct spare window (94, bronze tint) out at our shop. If you insurance doesn't pick up the tab, let us know and we can make some sort of deal.

I'm in Milwaukee, and I've only seen 2 SVX's since I moved here a year ago. A white one and a purple one. For awhile I thought I was the only SVX in this city,lol. And, if any of you guys from Milwaukee are around the General Mitchell airport area. Come by my work, AJ's Cafe, its on Layton Ave, maybe 5 mins away. It'd be cool to see our parking lot full of SVX's,lol.
