Hello
Hello, just wanted to get my name out here, I am new to the site. I have had my SVX for a few months now and plan on keeping it a long time, my last car exploded shortly after I parked it one day (95 Mark VIII LSC) so now I am the proud owner of the SVX, I've always liked these cars and am glad the price has come down to something reasonable for a 23 year old still in school. I got mine a new coat of black paint, replaced the stock wheels (dented) with aftermarkets of the same size, and got new exaust tips (originals were painted black). I have recently driven a new 911 and must say that I was NOT disapointed to return to my car. . I thought perhaps the SVX would feel large and ungainly after my day with the 911 but it held its own nicely, definately an UNDERATED car! So that is my story, I will try to get in on threads I can relate to, and look forward to learning all there is about these cars.

Mat,
Welcome. You've just joined some of the nuttiest, yet most serious car owners in the world. It's a nice "blend." We love our cars, but, we also love to BS. However, we've tried to make places for everyone -- the BSers, the non-BSers, the "lurkers" y'know . . . We're happy to have you aboard. One note, though. You NEVER learn *everything* about these cars. That's the fun of it. Again, welcome.

You are very welcome Mat.
Nice to have some young blood on the forum. Some of these old geezers would wear you down with their constant search for power and puns and pink engines. Join in! Even the Moderator is non-confrontational. Or I'll rephrase that last one...... Joe

Larry, I never thought about that possibility! I have made some enemies in the past. . hmmm. .
Well hopefully it was just electrical, probly my Superchip or something, who knows, it was a good car, I got a great price on it (in American Dollars) and insurance gave me more than I thought it was worth after the fact. I have some pictures I'll stick on here, it was pretty insane. I also want to thank everyone for the warm welcome here, thanks to all. I also noticed there was another Mat here who spells his name sans the second T like myself. I think I am in good company, enjoy the pics! |

Wow...I guess all meltdowns are not nuclear!
Welcome aboard Mat, I also have an SVX of the ebony variety. By the way, don't let them scare you off....my humor is painful, but rarely lethal! (except to Aredub) Don (one of the old geezers)
