Back in the S-S.V.X
 

After ten days and hundreds of miles in the 95 Caravan, I can hardly contain the joy of being able to warm the leather, once again, on my SVX.

The rush of cranking over that sweet 6 . . . the low rumble of the KC exhaust . . . the feel of the leather-wrapped wheel as I lower it into its "memory" position . . . grabbing the shifter and sliding it into reverse . . . It's a pseudoerotic experience.

As I back out of the driveway and slide the shifter forward, I think to myself, "I don't care if I'm nuts. I LOVE THIS CAR!"

I slowly press the gas, just to get the feel once again. Two toots on the horn (It's a morning ritual) . . . I drive away, and I am transformed once again from mild-mannered father and husband into "Aredubjay" President of the SVX World Network and hopeless SVX fanatic. Life is good.

Though it pi$$ed and poured rain, all the way to work (40 miles), I was a happy, happy man. Gliding along . . . though the road was busy, there was no one else there, but me and my faithful white stallion with its horizontal hooves charging toward the battle of the day. I arrive at my destination and, as I dismount, (grabbing my laptop from the passenger's seat), I whisper, "God bless FHI."

Thoughts now, turn toward the drive home and another joust with windmills. I can hardly imagine that the SVX was once an "Impossible Dream." :D

I hope you never encounter a muffler. :( or a wonder bar nail puller :( or another anything to cause damage.

So you sort of forget how the SVX "feels" when you don't drive it everyday? Makes it sort of worthwhile to drive a Caravan once in awhile? I appreciate the SVX more after dring something (anything) else. :)

Randy, at the risk of insulting myself... I think I have to agree, you're nuts.

Since I don't get an opportunity to see snow, I get an inordinate amount of delight in the smooth, effortless execution of the SVX in rainy, slippery driving.

on the lighter side, if you don't disappear again, you should soon hit the five figure mark in posts. :)

That's better than SOME things you could do to yourself. :eek: :D


Can you tell I'm in "one of those moods" today?:D

Master, Master Aredub,

The SUVs are massing behind the windmills planning to attack.
May you and your trusty steed fight the unbeatable foe and survive to make it back to the homestead to that maiden of such comeliness, the beautiful Dulcinea (Shari ?).

Heh. I fell in love with my car all over again on my trip to FL and back. MAN! It sure is designed GREAT! On the highway, it is INCREDIBLE! :D

:eek: Aredub - I love it when you talk like that! :o

That is true poetry El Prez.

Whew!!! It's a Subygasm for Randy.

I gotta take a real cold shower now.

Egg-zack-lee!! :D

Dub, you are a bastard... truly. Here I am trying to scrounge up the moolah for a new SVX and you're just rubbing salt in the wound.

I reiterate... you're a bastard. :)

Why, thank you, Gavin. That's the nicest thing I've been called in years. :D
