I love my car!

I left my car here when I went home for Christmas three weeks ago. Filled the gas tank, took the battery out and locked it up. Man I missed it, especially with snow falling all the time at home. I had my parents Foresters to drive, but they're not my SVX. Got back for school late last night, plugged the block heater in overnight, dropped the battery back in and turned the key. The engine turned over maybe 5 times before firing up. I let it idle while I cleaned off 3 weeks of snow and ice. I still have to shovel it out, but once that's done...Weeee!!!! Can't wait to hop in an go for a spin. It felt so good to sit in the car again after all this time.

I know the feeling. When my previous SVX was totaled I had to drive our little bmw 325, which was a fun car and I love that it's a 5sp, but everyday for about a month I longed for the feel and drive of the SVX. Then I got another, and all was good again!

Enjoy your car!

Woo! Took it out for a spin. It's so cold here that saltng the roads doesn't do anything, so most parking lots are skating rinks, meaning I get to go sideways everywhere.

Re: I love my car!

The only problem is that the ice is very rough, so I have this constant picture in my head of my tire going sideways through a divet of solid ice and getting destroyed.
