fan club
I have developed a fun club in my local area. I have gained the admiration of serveral racers in the area. As I pass them through a gas station with my sunroof open, I hear a couple of them say "Dude!...thats an SVX, dont race that thing, its a fast motherf#$ker". Now if only it were true I am now in a love-hate relationship with my car. To be quite honest, it has kinda lost its spark in one sense of its not new anymore, and things are going wrong with it. It still holds my interest in the fact that its rare, and people admire it, but even that is soon to fade cause about 5 more svx's just showed up in town....and my town is not very big, I see one once a day. Sure, the SVX has great top-end speed, but that is utterly worthless. What I want is something with good accerlation. If someone were to offer me 6000$ for my car, I would sell it in a heartbeat to go buy (and this is gonna make you guys cry like little girls) something in this line of choices: 300zx, 3000gt, 240sx, eclipse, integra, prelude, 318i, etc......all lesser cars in most areas. If someone hates me for this, wants to buy, or even better, cheer me up into keeping the car, then by all means do

And what sort of fan club do you anticipate forming around your 240SX?

6k for a 92 is way too high regardless of modifications done to the car.

Also, all of those cars, while considered the same class as the SVX, have retained more of their value and are much more expensive. The cars he listed are more in the same price bracket with the SVX now, unfortunately.
