Re: Idiots and the SVX.

Ive got one. I came out to my car one day after work and noticed that my front driver fender was dented in a full inch, right at the top of the tire. I am a loss prevention manager at work, so I pulled the video the next day. Some yahoo pulled in the parkinglot and was weaving through cars, hit a shopping cart and it plowed into my fender... he then promptly left the scene and didnt pass through any of my liscence plate shots I still hate that guy....

Re: Idiots and the SVX.

I would do it all again in a heartbeat. I love it and without it may very well have never developed any skills as a mechanic. That being said, I should get my lifters sometime next week. hop skip and a stones throw away from turning her over.

Re: Idiots and the SVX.

some kid just messaged me on facebook telling me he almost parked next to my white eclipse today, then decided to park somewhere else and parked next to another white eclipse just like mine...

1. somebody does not know what a car is.

2. i am the only one on the campus, and probably in the county with an svx.

3. there is no eclipse in my parking lot, and i have not seen one around here.

4. seriously?

I've had a few people compliment me on my nice Ford Probe.
Dorks. But, some of us just aint into cars enough to identify them correctly.

I get hit for SlugBugs, when they're really PT's. Figure that one.

Re: Idiots and the SVX.

My car's been referred as:

- eclipse
- ford probe
- eagle talon (older one)
- MR2 on 2 accounts!
- Celica
- Dodge Stealth

I can understand for some people who mix up the svx with the eclipse and talon especially with the black on white color setup cause they look at the color and not the full shape of the car. there are not many cars that have the black on color setup in that year range.

Before i bought the car i was talking with my brother and he told me about this car in the parking lot when he went to college and how it had this window in a window thing and it looked weird. and i said thats the car i'm buying lol.

I've had people ask:
- if its only the lower part that moves
- Are the windows aftermarket? (i loved that one)
- THATS A SUBARU!?

not exactly related to the svx but related to hit and run
someone hit my dad's old 85 Cadillac Fleetwood(BOAT :P) in the drivers door
my mom gets it back from the body shop and goes to walmart and parks at the end of the parkinglot away from everyone else so not to get hit.
Someone backed into the door and ran.

One of the regulars at our autocross events occasionally announces me on the PA "...with his... Eagle Talon!" It's good times.

Re: Idiots and the SVX.

I go to a nationally known tech school, and most of my friends didn't have a clue what kind of car I had until I told them. The general consensus seems to be that it's a Talon or Probe.

Kids these days



On another note, this smarta** with an S4 likes to park so close that I can't get in every single day. Gets annoying after a while.
