Something I've taken for granted on an SVX...
So my SVX has been driven only occasionally lately as it awaits the upcoming bodywork. I took it out yesterday to make sure it still runs fine, and rest assured she did.
It was a cold fall evening and the thing I took notice of is how toasty the heater vents make my feet. It's a feeling that none of the others I've driven/had really have done, so it put a big smile on my face for the ride home, until I then took some twisties only to have an even bigger grin. Still can't part ways with her . Just sayin'

If you let them they can literally toast your feet.

Re: Something I've taken for granted on an SVX...
that's what i hated about the SVX - i don't like sweaty feet.
i usually put on the defroster to get the heat off my feet.

What was that old saying? Warm feet - big penis?

Re: Something I've taken for granted on an SVX...
The one advantage of having a burnt out vent control motor, I can set it where I want it and it will never change unless I reach down and move it. I always hated the whole blowing on the feet thing. It just made my feet sweat.

Re: Something I've taken for granted on an SVX...
Woah! My vent control hasnt worked since I got it, it is somewhere in the middle, because air comes out of everywhere. How are you moving this around? When I try to set the unit to defrost, there is an audible clicking noise in the dash that repeats over and over, so my motor isnt burnt out, I had been guessing stripped gears of some sort. Where do I move this???

Re: Something I've taken for granted on an SVX...
reminds me of the little red wagon. The heat from the dash vents would almost burn my fingers. It was painfully good. I miss that car.

I love how quick the car heats up inside...unlike my silverado where I freeze to death on the way to work even after warming up the truck for 15 mins.
