Old guy in Pittsburgh
Another Rock Auto joiner. I have way too many cars but my (early) 85 SVO is my favorite. I'm mostly a Ford guy
(89 Taurus SHO, 01 Ranger, 96 Taurus wagon with SHO drivetrain), '90 Festiva, but I also enjoy my 07 Impala SS and a 1953
Packard Caribbean convertible that I've owned for 48 years, and a 1973 VW Karmann Ghia Sport Edition. My SVO
is 9L (oxford white); no mods other than a big valve head and dual exhaust. I've owned it since 1993.
I taught Mathematics at Duquesne University here in Pittsburgh for 30 years. My wife Pat and I raised 5 children
none of whom is a car person! I'm glad to be a member of this forum. Only 2 weeks til Carlisle!!!
