Met an older owner today,

She didn't have an SVX anymore, and hadn't for a while, but she was so excited to see one on the road. She talked to me for a while about how she got it to 155 once, and how she cried when she had to sell it, and how much she missed it and would love to buy one again, if she could find one. I told her about this network, so if a lady in her 40's or 50's is on here looking for an SVX near Indiana, PA, that's her. I enjoy older car enthusiasts stopping me to talk about my car, rather than the *cool* kids asking, "What is that thing? Is it fast?" Who only know what a Civic or a Neon is. It separates the definite line between a car enthusiast and a know-it-all kid . Makes me as a 20 year old kid really appreciate this rare machine. I hope she never dies. Just thought i'd share.

Were you hoping "she", the "old lady in her 40's or 50's" never dies, or your car? You "kids" crack me up!! "Old" lady indeed! She's just broken in!

Re: Met an older owner today,

She probably looked great 20 years ago, when she was just shy of thirty and driving around in that beautiful and expensive new SVX.
