All good things...
It was a tough call folks, but I'm pulling out of the SVX universe. A 1 year old and the need for more space have shifted my priorities I'm afraid.
Tomorrow the ebony and the silver will both be traded on a black fj cruiser. Thanks for everything everybody, my skills as a car nut really developed and matured along with the trials and tribulations my svxii have thrown my way. Special thanks to Chris, Chris, and Earle for maintaining such a great site. Tom, lan, b3lha, silverspear, Harvey, trevor, and many others. Thanks for your advice, and your commitment to the car. You guys are pushing the envelope and keeping SVXs interesting and relevant. Way to be. I'll still float around as an officer, but my status as an owner is no more. Keep the faith guys!

Man that is sad to hear Patrick. The best of luck to you and your family. I wish I could take the black one off your hands for you... She was a keeper. Be sure to keep in touch! -Dennis

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_FJ_Cruiser Too bad or your loss, but the FJ is a decent replacement.

Hey, April 1st was last month
You can always keep one around (Ebony). But we all make sacrifices for family, been there myself. Oh, and whatever you do, dont offroad the FJ. I've heard some bad stuff about the stock suspension. |

So next time I go back to Eugene, I'll look out for the black FJ, hah?
Have fun with FJ, you'll need that kinda car if you go to Mt. Hood or somewhere like that!

You are trading your SVXs in on a WHAT?
Well, better than a Sienna I guess. I'd hold onto one if I were you only for the possibility that you will probably regret it later. I almost traded in my first SVX for an SUV. Glad I kept it and restored it. Best of Luck Patrick, whatever you decide. Seller's remorse is a *****.
