You know you’re an idiot when
After owning your SVX for 9 months you finally decide it is time to replace the broken trunk cable/ broken trunk release only to find out the switch on the trunk lid has been in the “disable” mode and there is nothing wrong with the cable or lever. . .
Life is ever so much tougher when one is stupid.

Gotcha beat. Right after I bought mine, I picked-up an overhead switch console from eBay because my dome light didn't work, and I got it in my head that the problem must have been the overhead switch. Duh... it was just a blown bulb.

Last month my son calls me in a panic on his cell phone [I'm in a meeting right] and says " dad I'm driving in the rain on 66 and I have the wipers on but I can't see! Because the Windows are all fogged up"! Then I said "do you have the blower set on defrost to blow warm air on the windows?" My son says "yes". Then a few seconds later he says "never mind dad I had the a/c on." And this is from a 26 year old former U.S. Marine with a BS degree in biology... Last edited by SVXtra; 08-16-2005 at 08:13 PM. |

Hahaha!
Too bad for me my trunk release cable really is broken. I checked that lock switch idunno how many times. Was in denial for a while. Now I have come to terms with needing a key to pop the trunk.

Another Trick Feature Foul-up
I once passed a dealership in Houston with an SVX on prominent display. As a fan of the car, I stopped to have a look. It was pristine and the price on the windshield was reasonable. The car was unlocked so I peeked inside, and it was as nice as the exterior. About that time a salesman came up to show me the car and answer my questions. I asked about the mileage accuracy and whether or not the car had a clear title. Then I asked if he minded if I sat in the car and started it. "No," he says, "help yourself. But be aware that the steering column adjustment lever is broken and the wheel is down pretty low. Its a tight squeeze. We haven't been able to find the parts to replace the lever, so that's why we've knocked the price down." TA-DA!!!
