Sad But True...?

In browsing some posts, a lot of people are saying that the SVX is without a doubt the nicest car they've ever owned, even though it was in a long list of nice cars. I feel incredibly privileged to own such a fantastic car. It's not every 20 year-old who can buy himself (that's right, mommy and daddy don't buy my cars. I do) such an incredible machine.. leather, woodgrain, a great stereo, HEATED SIDE MIRRORS, and of course let's not forget about the 230 hp flat-6

However, I'm a little concerned.. this could very possibly be the single best car i'll ever own, and in that case.......what's left to look forward to?? can anyong give me some reassurance in some way, shape or form?

I'm 22 and bought my SVX myself without Daddy's help also. It's funny. You don't see alot of people our age driving such a nice car.
What to look forward to? How about people's comments. What kind of car is that? Is it Fast? Nice car
I love that part of it, despite some small maintenance that's got me a little on edge this week.
Good luck and continue to enjoy. I know I will.
Dave

For me, the best part of this car is telling people how much money I make after they see my car.

I don't have anything to hide at this point--I probably make no more than $7000 a year. I work only three or four hours a night on weeknights and live in a dorm. I'll be paying off loans up the wazoo in about 10 months but right now I'm actually able to make things work.

Having a "contingency fund" set up in the event of any semi-catastrophic failures (eg. no more AWD) has helped me stay on top of the game and if you ask me, the SVX is a real bargian of a car. I mean $5000 for a 230hp car in GREAT shape with allllllll the trimmings?? you can't beat a deal like that!

Unfortunately the day always comes when the car, for one reason or another, is completely undriveable. If I can delay that moment as long as possible by taking care of her as best I can and not doing anything too stupid, I will feel satisfied.

I'm 16, and I, too, bought my car without my parents' help. While I very much appreciate all the things my parents have done for me, there is something to be said for being able to make such a large purchase on my own.

It is quite likely that it will be a couple decades before I can afford such a nice car again, as soon I will be paying for university, rent, a family, etc.

I don't know about that. I am making about 70 and I still think SVX is not reliable enough for me. I just started earning money so I am still trying to make things right. I believe SVX is safe, fast and all that but that does not mean wonderful in my book. It is a nice car -- hell yeah!

Luckily for me, I have no loans to give back but and although my dad does not ask me back for money for college, I am giving back some anyways. That much I can do right? He supported me for the last 20 odd years and college was around 12k a year after the UN grants.

I would like to thank my dad and all the parents in the world at this time. I would also like to thank and say hi and what's up to god (both actual god and tranny god for SVX), and I would like to thank all my friends both on and offline for their help. Now, I feel drunk. Time to go to bed I think.
