Heh Heh.
Brings back memories of when I first got my SVX in'92.
Took it on vacation in May '93. May is not always great weather up here. We looked at the weather map on TV & decided to head for "A Sunny Spot" We had 2 weeks. By the time we got to a suitable spot we were in West Virginia!
Lots of great curves & windy roads there. It was an absolute blast. No real need for too much braking in manual mode. One particular memory is of pulling into a roadside take out for lunch and upon stepping out of the car smelling the rubber of hot tires.
Thats when I really came to know that this car just fit me like a well worn leather jacket.
It was a great driving holiday. Unfortunately it WAS '93 and my car had not been recalled for the tranny filter. The transmission failed just as the 5 year warranty came up, which Subaru handled nicely. Perhaps it wasn't the tires I smelled after all.
