I enjoyed this years Open House...one question, what was up with the old SPV 2000s? I noticed they were close to the shop...and one wasnt totally gutted. I also stopped to check out the MTA police and their equipment, being my major in John Jay is police science. My friend was amazed they actually had the unit that checks the percentages of tinted glass in cars. I took about 40 somethin pictures...I'll try to post some soon

I was talking to the two gentlemen who were responsible for acquiring the 6 SPV 2000 cars from Metro-North for the historical society. I hear they paid $22,000 for the set. Quite a steal. I want myself an FL9 now!
