"Why don't you get rid of it? You complain about it and work on it all the time?"

Re: Comments you hear
I'm getting a lot of:
"It's the ugliest and most expensive Subaru ever - but DAM it's the most fun Subaru I've been in for a while". "You just cannot do things in any other stock Subaru that you can do with this car". Dam I do love my ugly duckling |

Re: Comments you hear
She should be on soon. She got so excited seeing it that she didn't realize mine was a 5 speed. There's a bunch of well cared for svx's on the network that she should be able to get her hands on.

Re: Comments you hear
So, Decided to road trip this past weekend & head to the beach (Ocean City, MD) for a day trip. As luck would have it, it just so happened to be a car show (H20 Meet) weekend. That said, I wasn't sure how the SVX would fair with the type of crowd that was there. I can say, I was pleasantly surprised with the level of recognition. From one guy shouting "SVX!" as I went by, to another guy telling his crew, "that's an SVX, that's a rare care, a really rare car!!" Definitely a wild crowd though. Signs for "Boobies for Burnouts!!" to tying up the bus lane selling stuff. A fun day, tho def not my type of crowd!

Re: Comments you hear
Pav625, don't tell me you didn't wish the SVX could do burnouts. Maybe a fleeting moment?

Pointing at the JDM BBS wheels on my SVX, an auto enthusiast said to me "Hey, I have those exact same wheels on my M-Edition Miata"

Re: Comments you hear
Overheard the clerk at Autozone talking to his co working.
Clerk 1: "Wow that's a Subaru SVX!" Clerk 2: "Oh I thought it was a Dodge Stratus." Clerk 1: "What?!?" Me: "It's mine, your right it is a SVX." Clerk 1: "Cool, they were awesome cars, is yours the twin turbo model? I had a friend who had one with the manual transmission and the twin turbo." Me: Laughing to myself, "no just the normal one." while thinking ...I gotta stop coming here.
