noob: Just bought my second SVX
Hey guys&gals, I just bought my 2nd SVX. I had one when I was 17 but sold it b/c I did my undergrad studies oversea. I came back to the States for my masters, and just picked up my 2nd SVX.
my first one was a green 92 LS-L, LOVED IT. I knew I wanted it since I was a kid. It had motorsportwarehouse (I think that was the shops name) exhaust, intake, and subs (gotta have subs in high school!). I took it to the drag strip regularly (lol) and thought I was sooooo cool running 16s haha. well, I just bought a maroon 92 LS-L. I have to move next summer so it'll probably up for sale this spring....but I'm afraid I might get too attached to it again The blue FC in the background is my roommates and is for sale if anyone is interested. parked with my toyota I think I was on this site back in like 2000-2001 but the site wasnt nearly as informative as it is now!! Anywho, just wanted to say hi. Oh, I also speak perfect Japanese and Engrish so if you guys need any simple translations done, lemme know. I could probably translate almost anything but I don't have the time being a grad student... Last edited by coco-puff; 12-14-2008 at 04:02 PM. |

Hi "coco", Glad to see you made it back home in one piece. And of course you now have the BEST color for the SVX. Have a nice year end. Take care, BOBB

Re: noob: Just bought my second SVX
Why not? Practically every other country does (including Toyota/Lexus' country).

Edit: What do you have against Toyota? They even own 16% of Fuji Heavy Industries.

Yeah I knew about the Acura and the Honda being the same due to the infamous NSX. Nissan and Infinity kinda look similar and I really didn't care for either anyway.. As for what I have against Toyota, nothing really.. I just don't like them as much as Lexus.. Hence my disapointment.. I don't like the same thing I liked.. How confusing..

Re: noob: Just bought my second SVX
Does Toyota sell 600# torque diesels in the USA yet? Don't feel the need for another gas truck...
I'm glad to hear someone calls the Lexus what it really is, Lexus is just a name for dumb Americans it helps sell more cars, no one wants a fancy Toyota, but a Lexus...now you are important
