Was your next response "Nice $0 tip"

Would've been mine, but I'm just a mean, rude, kid.

Re: Comments you hear

A couple recent ones for me both at Ski areas.

At Roundtop - Hey I like your SVX, don't see too many of those that aren't beat to sh*t.

At Whitetail - Nice Subie! Did you see they are coming out with a new model, gonna be like a mini SVX. -Me: " Uh, not really"!

Re: Comments you hear

Me: yeah so this (my MY04 Legacy R30) is my daily driver. My toy car only comes out on nice days..
Co-worker: Really? So what's your toy car?
Me: A 92 SVX
Him: A what?
Me: 1992 Subaru SVX
Him: Oh right, that was one of those special edition WRX's wasn't it?
Me: No, it's an SVX. Completely different car. Flat six for a start not a turbo four.
Him: Yeah just like the one Possum Bourne used to rally!!
Me: You're an idiot!!

Re: Comments you hear

And one from the last time I got a WOF (Warrent of Fitness)

Me: So all passed OK?
Inspector: Yeah it's in pretty good condition for the mileage.
Me: What?
Him: Well the odometer only says 60Klms... so either it's broken or it's been round the clock right??

WTF!!

I'm 18. My '94 is the same age as me. I guess he was close enough

Re: Comments you hear

Last week I was at a local tire and suspension shop to see if they could get struts for me. Of course they couldn't.
The 3 guys in the front room were pretty excited to see an SVX in their parking lot, so they all came out and looked it over. One of them said: "These things were stupid fast back in the day."

Re: Comments you hear

As I pulled into the parking garage at a hospital the other day a security guard waves at me to stop. I roll down the window and he says, "you're fine, I just wanted to see how the window opens."

Re: Comments you hear

After a spirited drive, my car tends to smoke from ATF(from pwr steering) on the exhaust, thus making it smoke.


I pull up into a gas station, and I get this "Hey Man...is your SVX gonna blow up!? If so...Lemmie know, I don't want that Rice junk all over mah truck"

Re: Comments you hear

A co-worker coming up from behind to see what I was looking at:

"$160 for an alternator? Holy sh*t, what do you drive? A Ferrari?"


I guess these parts are expensive after all?

Re: Comments you hear

I volunteered to pick up my two grandchildren (4 and 6) to save my daughter an 80 mile round trip to drop them off, so she could go to a funeral of a close friends grandmother. Once settled in the back, with a car seat for the 4 year old, the comments started. "This is a space ship, I can see everywhere. It has magic seat belts, I wouldn't have to tell Mommy to buckle up." The whole way back, they constantly commented about the sky and how they can see the road, and cows and horses. When they were picked up, I realized what a bathtub with minimal windows they were riding in (her late model VW Jetta). Twenty years later and no better on quiet, stable highway cruising, and more.
