Yay for vacation. Had Reesey up last week. We bebop’d around Boston and generally lounged about. It was good to take a break, and even better to see Reesey. Special thanks to my grandmother for lending me her Camry so I wouldn’t have to cart us around in my stinky yellow CRX all week.
In other news, I got another SVX. This one isn’t as “nice” as my last one in terms of physical condition. instead of feeling like a “new” car, it definitely feels “used”. BUT… it’s in great mechanical shape and has a couple things done to it I always wanted to do to the other one. Most important is the the hideously tall final drive ratio of all SVXs is 3.54. This one has been replaced with a ratio of 4.11. Car folks will note that as a significant change for a car as heavy as the SVX. For the non-car-folks, that basically means my car is quicker around town but will run at about 500 RPMs higher on the highway. She has a few electrical gremlins, but I’m already sorting them out. it should be a-ok in no time. which leaves the paint. she wicked needs a paint job. I’ll be calling the guys that did Sean’s rally car.
I’m on days this week. this means I get to operate on normal human hours, but also means I have to be up at the asscrack of dawn. demi-w00t.
eh i was wondering what happened to u and reesey…u guys just kinda disappeared. LOL good to know things are good on ur side of the country 🙂
congratulations on the SVX! I’ve always wanted one
