Best SVX quote I've heard in a longtime

Went to pull a windshield today for Greenmarine (he got a stellar deal for a measly $60) and also to an auto auction at the yard which had a 92 Pearlie with 161k on the clock. It was in nice shape body wise (had bad paint on the rear lid where it is black but it was dent free). Needed a new exhaust as it seemed to leak from everywhere, interior was solid but a bit dirty. Anyway, I kind of hung around to see who else was interested and a guy with 2 kids were gooing over it. The kid goes "Dad it looks like a probe only cooler" .

The car sold for a fairly high $2000. Considering what it needed I probably would've paid $1200 at most for it w/o being able to drive it to see if it had all the gears but then again I'm waiting for that sub $1000 SVX to fall into my lap to build myself a monster SVX racer .

I just hope that kid didn't get it with the probe comment.
