Left Oregon on monday, foggy, damp, rain around the corner...arrived in Palm Springs tuesday PM, 100 degrees... the wife's SVX has been sitting in the garage since the end of June, battery disconected, baking in the the high temps. Hooked up the battery, engine starts just like it was run yesterday....took it on a 20 mile errand,,,,smooth, no hicups, burps, stalls or check engine lites...sweet machine...no wonder we love these cars....
