For me, the best part of this car is telling people how much money I make after they see my car.

I don't have anything to hide at this point--I probably make no more than $7000 a year. I work only three or four hours a night on weeknights and live in a dorm. I'll be paying off loans up the wazoo in about 10 months but right now I'm actually able to make things work.

Having a "contingency fund" set up in the event of any semi-catastrophic failures (eg. no more AWD) has helped me stay on top of the game and if you ask me, the SVX is a real bargian of a car. I mean $5000 for a 230hp car in GREAT shape with allllllll the trimmings?? you can't beat a deal like that!

Unfortunately the day always comes when the car, for one reason or another, is completely undriveable. If I can delay that moment as long as possible by taking care of her as best I can and not doing anything too stupid, I will feel satisfied.
