I intend to hit 40k. I want to fix the ABS, revamp the stereo system, get cams, do a little dent fixing, repaint, tint the rear, new struts, and a few other little custom things. Good thing I'm not married.

It's in the first post. -- I just looked at it and the formatting is screwed up. Too bad you can't upoad RTF attachemnts... *hint*

Two tone wheels, a high-pressure PS line, an ABS sensor, and front wheel bearing replacement cost about what I paid for my silver SVX, so now I drive it twice as often to get my money's worth.
Thirty grand on one... Geez; I like the SVX, but that's out there. I doubt I'm one-third of the way to that number with two, and that's purchase price, tires, oil, even gas. dcb |

If you take care of your trans, windows, and don't get in an accident you'll be ok. I've replaced two windsheilds, I'm on my 3rd tranny, and I had some sweet body work done.
