I have yet to take one, but I can't wait too. My mother took my car to Richmond VA and back and loved it, almost got her to buy a 92 Pearlie but she didn't have the money.

I live in Holyoke Ma, and make regular trips to boston, providence RI, albany NY... and the car is great.
My fiancee, SVXAPEAL, does bi-weekly trips to va... the car is great on roadtrips, especially in foul weather.

A set off 4.44 gears do not make the SVX a highway cruiser though. Drove to Englishtown, NJ last week and the engine was humming pretty strong. Felt weird to be in the high 3700-4000rpm range for most of the trip on the NJ Turnpike.

I run around 3,000 at 70ish.
I was raised with old school hot rods... 4.11 gears and no overdrive.
This thing is still loafing
