Hey John. Passed you on the way home from work Friday night. I was the guy in the little white Impreza that blinked his lights when he passed you. How do you manage to keep that thing so clean and still drive it this time of year?

Rufus - I've run into John (not literally), three times in three different shopping centers. Do you think he's found a way to clone these cars, & perhaps...himself?
Ron.

if you were on I70 westbound, it was me. CLEAN??? I live on a farm with a 300' DIRT driveway, NINE cats who like to sit on the hood of a warm car on a cold evening and NO garage. Thank you for the compliment. When I look at her every morning and think of how I would like her to be all the time I wince just a little. The car hasn't been washed in over a month and I must admit that she looks a lot cleaner when its dark out and going 80mph.

It was definitely you (the license plate is hard to miss). I am surprised that is the first time I've seen you out there, because at least 50% of my commute home is probably the same as yours. I normally exit 70 on to 97 north because I love that set of twisties just before the railroad tracks. There are also two SVXs to be seen, a white one on the right just north of the exit (normally in the garage I think, but I've seen it out a few times in the summer) and a red on the left that is always there.

Rufus - I put the club card under the wiper of the red one a few weeks back. I drove south on 97 this Sunday, and the car was actually MISSING! Any connection, I wonder? (Could have signed on, read a few posts, & decided only maniacs drive these things; better hide it).
Ron.

It doesn't seem to get driven very often. I always hope to drive by and see a For Sale sign on it, because it looks like it deserves to be parked in the garage next my white one

Question

Rufus - Where'd your avatar go? Lug nuts fell out & it rolled off the screen, I'll bet!
Ron.

It was recalled. It was obviously defective due to numerous shortcuts taken in the development process.
