The ole' saying isnt true.

All of my friends tell me the novelty of getting your license disappears after a week then you start hating driving. But its been two months and I love my SVX the more I drive it around. . I have come to the conclusion that people only say that because of the car they drive !

Talking I agree!!!

I completly agree.. It definatly depends on the car you drive. Anyone will get tried of driving if they are driving a Neon or a Metro...But I most certainly have not lost the interest of driving my SVX!!!!!

I can be in the worst mood and be able to drive it and feel like a million bucks.... except when I have to fill up for gas

I cant imagine ever hating driving. Granted its not "new and exciting" anymore but I still enjoy it after 9 yrs (really?). Hell sometimes I find myself looking forward to work just because it is a legitamate excuse to drive.
some people just dont have any gas in their veins.

Hmmm

I've been driving since 1969 (legally ) and I can truly say that I have never hated driving! I've driven up and down both coasts within the states and across more times than I care to remember. I have been known to do a lap around the state (currently Utah) just for fun! Even while sitting in a 0 mph traffic jam in Silicon Valley (back when traffic was a problem there ) I enjoyed driving. Now that I'm a year old SVX owner driver I love it even more!!



Your friends are wrong.... Driving should never be boring. If you hate something.... don't do it (it leaves more room on the road for me!!!! )

'67 (Beat you by two years.)

I've never owned a car I didn't like to drive. I've never owned a car I like to drive as much as my SVX.

I've never had a bad motorcycle ride either. Even when I've come back all beat up.

I've enjoyed everyone of my cars but the SVX is definitely my favorite to drive

I been driving for over 40 years and love it.
The only thing I hate is being stuck in traffic or inching along a super expressway like this past Tuesday. I was on I-476 N going to work. It took one and a half hours to go sixteen miles. There was an "overturned truck accident" just beyond my exit. It tied up the expressway for hours.

The SVX is the difference between "propelling ones self around in a vehicular conveyance" and "DRIVING."

After nearly ten years (!) I still find driving novel. I look forward to going home from work every night because I get to drive the Justy!

As I tell my wife, for me driving isn't a chore - it's a hobby!

And then she rolls her eyes at me...
