I think he might be talking about me too, possibly. But like one other guy said "consider yourself lucky". You may very well be in a significantly small percentage of svx owners. I will admit i drove my car fast... but isn't that the point of an all wheel drive sports car with a torquey, high revving H-6??? Just because i drove it fast, doesn't mean i abused it. I abused my first car (a 1990 honda accord 5spd) for real and it had almost 400,000 miles on the original tranny when it was totalled (thanks to someone else).
