Happy 20th!

[Mr. Pockets]

So, I realized yesterday that my SVX is now 20 years old. It was built in March of 1993.

Of course, I don't actually have it here to give it a birthday pat on the roof. It's in a friend's barn for the winter, and I'll go get it next month some time.

I bought my SVX when it was newer than my 'new' car (my RX8) is now. I've had it for over 13 years. It was only six years old and had done a mere 95k miles when I bought it. Aside from the dealer, it had only one previous owner. And in two years, it'll be as old as I was when I bought it!

I struggle a lot with whether to keep the SVX or not. I have a tiny, one-car garage. I drive my RX8 on the track, which means I like to keep it in good shape, too. So parking it outside all the time is not a great idea.

I was pretty sure last summer that I was going to sell the SVX. Now? I dunno. Maybe I'll still be trying to decide what to do with it when the car hits 30.
