THe guy actually lives in state college, he now has a 2002 GV, green with gold colored cladding. Nice ride, nice alloys.  He traded his Vitara for it.  Says he wanted v-6 pep and power.  We decided to meet at a place easy to find, there are lots of little burgs on 422 none of which I was familiar with so we picked altoona.  Lowes was busy that day!  

I was really lucky on my yahoo group that he responded to my post.  He was a fixin' to get rid of them, says they were sitting in his garage all this time.  
Bottom line, I can now run winter tires with a lot less BS than breaking down the tire each spring and fall.  I don't like doing that, its hard on the tire bead after a while. 

I bet with these winter tires I can run rings around Mike Hagen!  ha ha ha..........
