There must be something extra special about this car, something that keeps an old man dreaming of one.

I think the allure, for most of us, was/is, not only the car, but the great people we've met through the "ether." Remembering the banter from the ol' Yahoo club and the crazies with whom I've had the great honor of maintaining some semblance of friendship (as much as one can over the internet), has certainly fortified my love for the car.
As one of the first to respond to me, when I joined, "way back when," you, Preston will always have a special place in my SVX heart. It's very good to hear from you.
As for "ex SVXers," there's simply no such thing.
Pete, my condolences. Now, can I stop feeling guilty about not sending the club stickers I promised (I've really meant to do it, honest).
To all who have owned, do own, and will own an SVX, the warning is clear: this car (and the camaraderie) is addictive.
