Re: just for fun :)

I just got a cup holder free with my Leather Seat Restore kit. It fits in the arm rest thing. I dislike the way all the heat blows on your feet in the winter, and I dislike how friggin' heavy the truck lid is.

Re: just for fun :)

The heat thing annoys me as well, along with the auto transmission. I also dont like how expensive parts are, and how hard parts are to get.

For what I like... everything else

That's the best feature! Every other car I'm in during the winter leaves me with cold feet

You know, my SVX seems to be adjustable in that regard. Whatever setting I leave the climate control at is the temp that comes out from the footwell when I don't have the air blowing, it's pretty cool in that way, I turn it all the way down so I get coldair on my feet in the summer and vice versa.

so basically, just change the temp on ur defroster/climate control and turn it off and then you should get it from the footwell.

I would think it would be the same for all of you, or maybe I just got a nice quirk.

$60 even? Surely your not quite driving it below the special E mark much then?

Re: just for fun :)

love
eryting
exhaust sound
a car that likes to be driven any way: fast, slow, passive, aggresssive, on/off road, sunny or snowy, backroads to freeway, racing or grannying, dangerously safely,
it a car of all trades. i have seen my svx go places my friends ford truck would not go.
how rare it is


hate: expensive parts
mpg
having to explain to everyone what it is
driving it in the city....
dealing with
broken power steering
****ty struts.
wheelbearing
how heavy it is (tires and brakes and struts wear out so fast with the way i drive)

Re: just for fun :)

I love the way it handles and rides real smooth
I don't like the fact that I need to put in new exhaust gaskets for the intake side of the 2nd cat or that I need new ball joints and I think I have a cracked flex plate and some other issues but I still love it
