That is weird! I'd like to check that out. I figure by the time they got to #639 they had it pretty much figured out. Did you get a build plaque? The dealer I bought my SVT from had sold #40 something a few days before mine and it was in the "first fifty club" or something. It came with a plaque and some other stuff supposedly from SVT. Just curious.
The SVT you're talking about parked by AIMD often wasn't me. That was a '99 some other guy had who I never met, only waved to a few times. I was mostly parked over at PSD and IRM, since I'm an NMCI contractor (booo, hiss, I know). The silver frost car belongs to an EOD officer. He traded in his BMW 318 for it! Nice guy. The guy with the silver decals hasn't been around in a while. He's a younger guy. Actually I haven't seen an SVT Contour on the base in months!
Let me know if you're going to the next meet. The drive will be well worth it, believe me! I plan to tag along with Beowulf since my SVT is in, well, storage. Long story. I should get it back this year sometime. I'd like to roll a few miles in yours to check out that sound system. Maybe a little Pink Floyd? Radiohead? Let me know.
