LMAO!

...your mechanic asks you to order your own parts because he knows you know what to get and where to get it

...you joke with your mechanic about putting his kids through college

...your mechanic brings you Christmas gifts

...you have done so much research you could play the market with used subarus

... you have gotten a buzz from driving

...that buzz lasted more than 5 hours

... you have made a 1 hour trip in 20mins** *

That is the best one so far!

... You have entries in you cell's phone book of other SVX people so they can look up error codes and torque specs for you.

... You try and talk your friends into buying an SVX.

... You don't see anything wrong with having two or more identical cars, even down to the color.

... You observe a moment of silence when you hear of an SVX being parted out.

In love? Go to Nevada, where for a small fee you can marry your car, or is it San Francisco...

That's funny - I've replaced my tires once and I'm just replacing my transmission for the 2nd time (2nd time under my watch that is). In total I think my car has had 4 (maybe only 3) sets of tires and will soon have her 4th tranny.




.....you sit around and mope every day you cant drive your car while its being repaired (@*#^% tranny)

.....you have tons of photos of your car (car at home, car at the beach, car near the mountains, car in the parking lot, car in a field, car at a stop sign, car's first waxing, car's first oil change, car in the snow, car in the sun, car in the rain, car under the clouds ....basically the car from every possible angle...)

..... a sighting makes your day (Yay i saw another SVX! Wonder if I can chase it down?)

.....your car has more friends than you do

.....other people will refer to your car by its name (ok so this only applies to a few of us )


Didnt someone have a list like this somewhere? I remember it included the "demonstrating the H-6 layout with your hands" or something to that effect.

You actually do in-depth research as to the whereto's and whyfor's of the name "Alcyone".

You know how to pronounce "Alcyone".

You wake up in a cold sweat after having a nightmare about your tranny failing.

...and run outside in your sleepwear to make sure it wasn't real...

What do you mean joke??? I DID put my mechanic's kids through college!

... mustangs seem magnetically attracted to your rear bumper on the freeway

... parking your car in front of restaraunts has caused loud arguments over weather it was a mitsubishi or not (those crazy ricers)

... ricers look at your car in puzzlement or envy, muscle cars try to race you
