Ohhhhh this car is amazing!!!
 
I just went for a nice spirited drive out in the country. It was simply fantastic.

A lesson, though:

I had some CD's tucked in the strap in my sunvisor. When I rounded a tight turn, they flew out the window. Oh well. :(

It seems like whenever I drive mine, I am still impressed with it. It is even better when I have a sunny day and going for a drive where there are some nice curves on the road. Let me know when and where you are going for a drive! I need some new CDs. ;) :D

Mike, you have some new springs though right? I like the way it handles...but man... in turns you sure can feel it's heft.... kinda scary. Do your springs help with that, making it feel more nimble?

OMG they helped so much. The cornering is much more flat now.

Here is a pic of the K&B springs compared to the stock springs. This is the rear. Be advised the K&B springs didnt lower the rear very much if any at all.

Saturday, I was driving SUBYDOO and Rosie was following me in PEARLY. I went over some back roads (twisties) in a very spirited manner. She stayed right on my tail (Don't go there anyone). When we got out of the cars she said that she really, really enjoyed driving again like she used to before her car accident in Nov. of '97. I guess buying the '94 was worth it, just to see the sparkle in her eyes.

Last night, she made me explain every step as I changed Pearly's air filter.
I think she is coming down with a bad case of SVX fever.

Oh, Larry...you are a truly blessed man! I took Jackie's wagon to get it inspected (no comments on that one!) and she had to come pick me up at the shop in the SVX. When she got there I started to head for the passenger side of the batmobile and she started gesturing wildly that she was not about to drive the SVX any further. When I asked her why not she went on about how she can't see out the back, it's too cramped, not enough room, blah, blah blah... making it very clear that she tolerates the car only because she can drive it in a pinch since it has an automatic tranny.

<sigh>

Yes, Larry. you are truly blessed! :)

When the SVX was new, and shiny, Sharon just raved about it. She just loved the stares, and the way it handled, and the power, and etc., and etc. Now that the seats are a little worn, and the paint's a little dull, she just can't stand it. "Oh it's such a pain to get in and out of." "I like my heated leather seats ." "Your car is waaaay toooo loooow." "My car is turbo-charged ." (Maybe so, but it still has sixty less horsepower, and is no match for the SVX.) That's all fine with me, you understand. The further she stays from my SVX, the better! :D :cool: :D
