Congrats and welcome, this is the right place for ya!!
It's cool that your dad passed the SVX on to you, I kinda had same dream like you did, but didn't happen since I left my home country after high school... and it wasn't even SVX.. My parents once thought about buying the SVX when it came out but they decided not to. So after 10+ years later I bought one for myself.
BTW, I have a '96 Bordeaux. Well, was Bordeaux, since recently the car was repainted to Merlot. Subtle difference, but I do like this new color!!!
