Unhappy Goodbye SVX

It is with mixed emotions that I tell you this may be my last day with my SVX. Mixed emotions because what will be replacing it will be a whole new kind of fun driving experience.

The bottom line though is my wife and I are looking to start a family soon and we need to get our stuff together. We have a house now, the next step was to get out of our sporty coupes and get at least one kid friendly car. (yeah most of you are either too young to think about this or too old and already past this point) I definitely pushed for the MX-6 to go first, and we tried that trade in scenario with the dealer, but it didn't work near as good as the SVX scenario. My wife still owes too much on her car, more than we could even sell it for on the street, so the SVX offered a lot more trade in value.

The new car definitely does not compromise on the fun factor though, we'll be carting the kids around in a high performance ride! I will admit it wasn't my first choice until I drove it (wheee!!!), and I still am not a big fan of the style, but my wife loves it and chances are it will be "her car" anyway. I will be downgraded to the MX-6 until it is paid off enough to trade in on a full cab pickup. (need one of those too) But I'll still take this little beast out for a spin on weekends I'm sure! Maybe the NW gang will even let me show up. I'm ready for a race (in no rain) now!!!

New car, but ours will be black

I will definitely keep in touch here though, I have made many friends even though I have not met most of you. I do not plan on getting involved with any web sites or clubs regarding this new car because I know I would just be disappointed in the caliber of the members. This is the place to be. Even if I no longer have my favorite car. Once an SVXer, always an SVXer...

Yeah, right. This is about as believable as ME selling BOTH SVXes.

he he he Too bad I can only do this once a year!

The fact that it was pretty believable up until the punchline stems from the fact that most of the scenario could be true very soon. We are looking to get a bigger car in the very near future, and the MX-6 is in a economic position right now. But we'll make it work, because I have vowed to keep my SVX if at all possible. I won't go that easy!

And if there was no other choice, it would definitely not be a Neon! I have no doubt the SRT is probably a fun ride, but the overall car - blech! Corrina thinks so too. (not to mention, I don't think I could even fit inside one of those things! )

Smart thinking! I actually thought about that factor and was going to add in a part about how I was going to be selling those seperate from the car, but then I forgot.

Sorry I made you burn your lunch Earl, just pretend it's Cajun Tuesday!
