Upsetting Sighting
I saw a 92 outside of Ross Park Mall in Pittsburgh today. It was in HORRIBLE shape... probably the worst ive ever seen. I wish I hadnt seen it.

I guess you had to be there....
Your picture must flatter it greatly, 'cause if that looks horrible...
.....well, I'll be driving something else to Reading! Don (at least my wheels are on right!)

The paint was all faded, it had scrapes and dents everywhere and it looked like it hadnt been washed in years. I guess the pic doesnt do it justice..

From the pic it doesn't look that bad. Although photos hide a lot.
I know what you mean though. A while back I pulled up to a burgundy SVX at a stop light here in Arvada. It had scrapes and dents all along the side and a trashy looking woman was driving it. In fact, the car looked like it had been rolled. It's kind of sad to see these cars like that, as to me such neglect projects a general image of them being old beaters that aren't important anymore.

That looks like the first SVX I saw when shopping for mine. It was in Gnaw Bone, IN., about 40 minutes past Big Bone Lick. These Hoosiers, what comedians...

Unfortunately, my SVX isn't in much better shape. I've got scrapes down both sides from drunk or inconsiderate drivers as well as several small dings in both bumpers and paint fading over most of the rear spoiler. There's basically no intermediate fix other than a complete repaint, which is much too costly to do anything about right now, so don't be too harsh on us.

<walks in from installing a stereo and sub in a vain attempt at ignoring the current rather distressful problems...> Mine looks much worse than that... <sigh>

With my front fender dent, and a few other scrapes and dents here and there (all holding out for complete repaint but who knows due to $$$$), if my car hasn't been washed for a few days in WA weather it looks worse than that)
We don't all have great hook ups for inexpensive high quality paint jobs, and we aren't all Earl and others that can hand pick their SVXes from the best in the country. Some of us have had our SVXes for years and bought them before we really knew what we were doing. All we can do is try to give them the best detail job we can, etc.
