Re: So.....
A 401k is the reason my taxable income is DRASTICLY lower than my deducted income. But also why my paycheck it's self is so Fing low compared to the starting number... I made too much and bumped myself into the next tax bracket so I might change my settings and just drop my contribution % and spend money on the cars...

Re: So.....
.
From my research through SOA and Subaru itself, it seems that the very first SVX was sold and registered in Northern California between the middle and end of June of 1991. They can find no record of what the actual VIN was or the trim and color. The fact that the first VINs and build dates were in late 1990/ early 1991 should count for something. These indicate when the cars were born. We should have a 20 year anniversary celebrating the first SVX to hit the American Road. That would be sometime in June 2011 17 months away... NEXT YEAR!... . No matter what they called it (1992 SVX), I was contemplating celebrating 20 years of the first SVX on the American road. .

Re: So.....
It will be hard to pick a SINGLE location that will be accessible to everyone.
I thought about a two-location meet, held simultaneously. Here is an example. I did some calculations, starting at the geographic center of the US (Lebanon, Kansas) and went from there. I plugged in the following points of reference: Seattle, Washington Bangor, Maine San Diego, California Miami, Florida It seems that the two major cities that come up are Denver, Colorado and Indianapolis, Indiana Using these two cities as points of reference, no one in the country is more than about 1300 miles from either of these two locations. Distance between these two cities is also around 1000 miles. Those in the western states could go to Denver; those in the eastern states could go to St. Louis and those in the central states could go to either one. Just a thought. Guaranteed to have better attendance than a single location only. Or combine a Reading XII/ 20th Anniversary Meet and once again involve either SOA or SIA. That way you will experience the best of both. If you come to Morgantown, PA for the 20th, you wll have been to Reading. .

Re: So.....
This is another cool tool to use
http://www.geomidpoint.com/meet/ Comes in handy for a lot of reasons. Use two actual addresses in the same town or just two differnt cities in America. It will calculate the halfway point for each. .

Re: So.....
Mike,
If you had only one meet, and it was once again in Lafayette, how many do you think would show now? At the 10th Anniversary, we had just 76 SVXs show. For the 20th, that's 2300-2300 miles from the West Coast (in cars that have aged another 10 years) From the East Coast it could be as much as 1200 miles. It would be nice for the newer members to experience what we did at the Tenth, but the magic of that first major get-together to the wide-eyed newbies can never be repeated. I still think two locations are necessary. Maybe the west coast contingent can pick their site. Somehow, climbing 5300 ft. into the Rockies and aging head gaskets don't mix well. To prove a point, how many East Coast members don't come to Reading because it's too far? .

Re: So.....
I'm serious. It would be fun. I'll drive one of mine, god willing. I've made that drive before. Twice.
If you think about it it makes sense. We could organize it in such a way that there were things to do, shirts and etc and I am pretty sure one of the hotels would accomodate us. I've never been to one, as I am so far away from PA and such, but I hear it is mostly about the people. I think this is an idea worthy of consideration. But of course, an Idea. I'm in no matter what, Unless i'm dead. If I can drive to wherever, i'll consider that at the time. If I can't, I'll fly or drive a different vehicle. Hopefully I'll have my GS 450h by then.
