You know you own an SVX when...

1.5" hail stones start falling and the first thing you do is grab a heavy blanket, run outside, and cover your windshield.

Weeee thunderstorm!

Re: You know you own an SVX when...

Good save!

I told my mechanic the old classic the other day:

Q. What do driving an SVX and sailing into the Bermuda Triangle have in common?

A. Either way you're going to loose your bearings.

I know it's a oldie, but I don't think I've seen it posted here for a couple of years, so this one's for the kids.

Woah, glad we didn't get that up here. Mine were at home unprotected.
We did get about an inch of rain in 20-30 minutes though.

It was coming down pretty good. Lots of lightning/thunder. There was a strike across the river from my house (~1 KM), shortly followed by plumes of smoke and the fire brigade.

Re: You know you own an SVX when...

You know you own an SVX when you realise you know more about radiators, water pumps and automatic transmissions than your mechanic!

Lame, I know....

You're deeply jealous of the sunvisors in your wife's Justy.

Re: You know you own an SVX when...

You drive around with your head at weird angles so that you can avoid having to use your visor, and you cringe when your passenger pulls down theirs.

Re: You know you own an SVX when...

I don't mind the visor.

But you know you own an SVX when you're driving a different car and you stomp the gas pedal to get around people on the highway. (at no avail).

And you know... when you have to get something from the trunk and need a second person to hold it open for you so you don't loose an arm.

Re: You know you own an SVX when...

When a woman pulls-up beside you on the freeway and hollers over that she wants to see how your window works, you know you're driving an SVX.

Re: You know you own an SVX when...

I'll repost another oldie.

Written to the tune of "Ice Ice Baby" by Jamsvx.

4EAT Baby
4EAT, Baby!
Yo, SVX, lets kick it,
Alright stop - collaborate and listen,
Subaru is back with a brand new invention.
Mini little windows, no one's ever see em'
3.3 howls like a demon
Will it ever stop, yo,
I don't know,
hit the throttle and 'power light' will glow.

To tha extreme its looks like a supercar,
The EB110 stole the windows I tell ya!.

Music, I got a stereo with a boom,
Pity that no-one made another loom.
CD install,
absolute nightmare,
kickin the ground, foul language in the air.
Love it or leave it you can't gain ways,
Replacing the rears will take 6 days.
If there's a problem and you can't solve it, check out
the World Network and they'll resolve it.
SVX Baby, SVX Baby...
Now that my trannie's jumpin',
my heart hits tha ground, the tranny ain't pumpin'
Quick to tha point, to tha point no fakin',
Nissan parts ain't worth takin.
Screaming bearings and an o-ring failure
sitting on the kerb waiting for a trailer.


In your souped up Honda or junk
I'm on a roll,
I always ride solo.
Rollin', in my 2 point 0,
it runs low 15's, yo, that really ain't slow.
Tha girlies on stand by,
don't even want to say "Hi".
but "What the heck was that?" as I just flew by.
Kept on, pursuing to tha next block,
I warp the rotors and ain't gonna stop.

The block was dead, yo, so I continued to A-1-A,
Detroit Avenue!
Saw Randy wearing a yellow leopard bikini,
and saw a few chumps drivin' stock Lamborghinis.
Jealous, cause I'm out drivin' mine,
ready to race 'cuz my SVX lookin' fine.
If there was a problem, yo I'll solve it,
check out my car while my AWD resolves it,
SVX Baby, SVX Baby...
Take heed, 'cause I'm a Pleisides poet,
Guigaro's on tha scene just in case ya didn't know it.
Makin fake mockup's with twin turbo stickers
Mention of that really moves our tickers


Gettin the looks cruising down the street
Climate control air con keeping out the heat
'Cause my ride's style is so reeeeeeeeeeeeal, with
an exhaust tone that ya can feeeeeeeel.
Integrated windows, it's a helluva concept,
my ride is hype, with the grunt when you punch it
WITH THIS.
In my rearview you'll fade,
slice like a Ginsu -sounds like a Kitchen-Aid.
Keep my composure when the front tire breaks loose,
magnetized by the kick of over 200 horse juice.
Goin in the bend, the front tucks it
Get your RWD and throw it in the bin
See another one and I pull to a stop
Try to get the window down, I hear a pop
Window switch, clutched in my hand
No Nissan part ain't worth a damn
Ten years on and still get the glares
Subaru supercar? Damn millionaires
Green, red, black or yella
Don't really care since I ain't gonna sell ya

SVX Baby, SVX Baby....
