Re: The SVX and you

My SVX has obscenely high mileage (260K+) Even at that, it's still bulletproof. Yeah I put a trans in it, but I'd expected that. I'd also expected a motor by now, but that shows no signs of trouble. I'm currently running a 2nd O2 sensor code, but that's my only trouble. The car uses 1.5qt of oil between changes. Those aren't complaints, just observations. I'm pretty sure my car was well cared for before I got it. It still gets regular care, but I likely drive it harder than the original owner.

I have a 33mi one way commute. No interstate, all 2-lane blacktop. Crooked 2-lane blacktop. *grin* I'd hop in & drive to California (2k+ mi) no worries.

If it breaks, it'll be hard on me financially, but I'll fix it. I love driving it too much. That, and it's one of my "dream machines".
