Re: Comments you hear

This car is not drive thru window friendly. :/

The drive thru window is so tall at the local D&D that my roof is level with the bottom of the drive thru window. It is made for big trucks or something.

The chick at the dunkin doughnuts has repeatedly tried to hand my coffee through the fixed glass...

I love it when they stare at the fixed glass window with the bag in their hand with that confused look on their face, waiting for the fixed glass to some how roll out of their way...

When I am in my SVX I usually try not to go through the drive through, I park and go inside. I don't especially like rolling the windows down. I know they are being scratched everytime they go up and down so I try to avoid it. I will eat in the car and drink coffee, but always remove the trash right away.

Re: Comments you hear

Ditto. Took the words right out of my mouth. Worse was when my window froze shut at the drive through. I had to crack it open and try to stand up.

Re: Comments you hear

My new door neighbor suggested I "rally" my svx. I had to bite my tongue and simply said nah it's way too low for that sort of thing. Little does he know that I am OCD with keeping this car clean and in immaculate condition. I don't even like taking it out in the rain let alone a friggin rally course!! I was kinda offended to be honest.

Re: Comments you hear

"I like your car. It's awesome!" - drive thru as her head turned back a few times as she proceeded to get my order. Oh and subyjuan, you're just not tilting it hard enough to get that pizza box in the window ! Lol

With that said, I'm rather pissed now that both cars are actually doing the same buzzin noise when trying to roll the windows down. Was there never a recall on this issue? Meh

Re: Comments you hear

Went to the car wash the other day.

Attendent: wow, a SVX!!!
Me: Holy chit, he recognized this car???? You know SVXs?
Him: yeah, I saw another here yesterday. The owner said that these things come with McLaren suspension. Really?
Me: Umm, not really.

----------------------------------------------------

My wife: honey, can I take the zoom zoom into town? I like how the ricer boys tries to see through the dark tint and see who is driving it.
me: LOL

Re: Comments you hear

I sent a note to a local TV show . I asked how come you never show an S V X . Comment I get back. I have a hard time getting them together but you can bring one of your motorcycles to the show.

Actual answer:
John,

I agree that it would make a good episode. But I don't have the connections to get them together. I would consider having you at the Elite Dream Machines show at Mohegan Sun. Didn't I ask you about bringing one of your bikes to the show last year?
LMAO
