Re: Building it up only to let it go - those who've jumped ship. *LONG*

I am not going anywhere either. I suppose that may have looked at me and thought I was crazy. Well, I guess I am. I have a love for the SVX and still do. I have had my share of problems with a couple of them, but for the most part, I have been lucky. I have saved a few from certain death, or in fact brought a couple back from death. Why do I have as many as I do? Because I can I guess. I have written my story about my experience with the SVX and will post it in the next couple of days. It is about 35 pages with pictures.

I know that having them is not an investment like others have asked if it was, because I don't think they will ever be "Classics". They are a collectors car, because people collect them! Like me I guess. It is a car that I love and don't want to be without. I may sell about half of them in the future just to get the herd number down a bit, and I can give the other more attention. I also feel that it is not only the SVX that I love, but it is the people and community of owners that I like as well. We tend to have may different backgrounds, but all have the same love for this amazing car (well, most of us do). I have seen amazing acts of kindness when it comes to checking on parts or cars for someone who is far away, a bed on a cross country trip, as well as many other things when the member has only been in communicaton with them on this site and never met face to face. It is a community which I have enjoyed no mater where I have gone, meets or just a stop and a hello. It is the package deal, not just owning a SVX. I keep hearing about love - that of course is Subaru's slogen now - Love.
