I was riding on 376 toward Pittsburgh tonight and saw a black(I think) SVT right before the squirrel hill tunnels. Just wondering if he was a member. Just wanted to say hi if you are.

Wasn't me this time...but if I ever see you in your car, I'll wave (by the list you have, you shouldn't be too hard to recognize).  ------------------ Joey 2000 SVT Black #710 of 2150 MODERATOR www.svtperformance.com If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.

Yeah, tunnels still suck. Any time of day, busy or not, 60-65 then into the tunnel I have to slam on brakes to slow to 40-45. It was warm yesterday, I think like 50. It was nice for a second. Cold again today though.

Hey Toadster... you from Da 'Burgh??? So you moved to the Natural Disaster Theme Park. eh? The Sqirrel Hill wasn't bad the last couple time I went thru (last week), cruised 65-70. Now the Fort Pitt was another story...  If you really wanna see a bad tunnel, try the Holland Tunnel in NYC! Now that sux! Maybe a Western PA 'Tour get together come springtime?  ------------------ Zilla 2K SVT Contour #1441 of 2150 D.O.B. 1/11/2000 green/tan -= everything on it =-

Ha! I'm from Portage... and my brother lives in J-town (Westmont). As for old, I worked on the cleanup crew in the aftermath of the '77 flood (I was 17). Portage got it pretty bad, too, but not as bad as Johnstown. I still remember (and probably always will) sitting on our front porch watching cars float down the street!  Used to go to some pretty good college parties at UPJ, too! There used to be a wild frat/party house in an old farmhouse behind the Richland Mall, about a half mile toward Elton. They used to have some MAJOR blowouts there! Next time you come back to see the folks, drop me a line! We can go out for a run thru some twisties, which is one thing this area is definately good for... Don't ya feel sorry for folks who own an SVT, but live in Kansas?!?
