[NiftySVX]

Sweet 16-split window style

The First time I saw a SVX was in the game Gran Turismo. I remember seeing it on the game and falling in love with it even on those crappy graphics. I remember thinking it was just another one of those cars that never was brought over to the US. When I was riding with my family to my sister's wedding in Texas, we drove by a subaru dealership (the closest one was about 45 mins away) and I was shocked to see two blue SVXs sitting in the front of the lot (this was in 1999). I made my dad promise to come back with me when we got back into town so we could look at the car. When we came back, we went to the dealership and test drove it and of course i was crazy about it. I told my dad i thought it was awesome, and that i thought the blue color was sweet, but we went home without it. The next week, I was home alone and about to jump in the shower when the doorbell rang. I almost didn't answer, but when I did, there was the salesman holding out the keys, and simply said "it's yours". I was so surprised that day, and i sat in it all afternoon ( I was only 15, so I couldn't drive it). I later found out that the owner of the dealership really liked SVXs and bought them at every chance. I guess that is why there were FIVE of them on the lot, which is pretty impressive considering it is a small dealer in oklahoma that also sold chrysler, and plymoth. They were all 94s. I Remember each of them. One was a bordeaux LS, and was a local trade. It was really nice but was close to 15,000. There was also a blue LS, and I remember wanting that one because it had a sunroof and ABS. (I've never seen another LS with a sunroof) but it was 13, and it had been smoked in so I couldn't get that one either. One was a Black LS, and the salesman who sold me mine had already claimed it for himself. The Last one was the blue L, and it's the one I found in my driveway that next week. I remember being surprised that none of them were AWD.
