Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

Took the SVX out of hibernation today! And then made a complete tool of myself. The car started perfectly with a boost, let it idle for a few minutes and then drove to the gas station. As soon as I walked around to the pump I realized I'd forgotten my wallet. Then when I hopped back in the car I discovered the battery hadn't charged enough to start the car. ****.

Walked home (10 mins), got the Elantra and booster cables, boosted SVX and drove it home, walked back to gas station, drove Elantra home. I'll take it for a longer drive tomorrow and see if things charge up properly. If not the battery is under warranty.

It's so much fun driving the SVX again though. And quite tricky. I'm used to the Legacy now and the SVX drives extremely differently. Way more touchy throttle pedal compared to the Legacy, and also much more low end torque. All together it's a much different driving experience.
