Have you guys seen the concept car that will become the new NSX? Looks great.

I bought my SVX 3 years ago as my main car for work and travel. My other car is my weekend car. After I bought it, I put a couple of grand into it. New tires, new sunvisors, a tranny cooler, tinted windows, new muffler, new antenna, changed all the fluids, etc. It's now 27,000 miles later. I have all the regular maintenance performed by a competent mechanic. Besides a $30 coolant sensor, I haven't had to do any repairs since I first got it. People talk about the amount of money they spend on the car, but most of it goes into wear and tear items (brakes, struts, etc). That's stuff that needs to be replaced with any car at a certain mileage (with the exception of the transmission, but with a good tranny cooler and regular checking of the trans fluid, the life expectancy goes way up). That's not to say that I'm not expecting things to go wrong, but I do trust my SVX to get me to work and to the ski slopes every time.
