SVXstacy
I'm back from Ottawa; got in about 6am after 13 hours on the road. I have some pictures (the lighting sucks by the way) of the car for those of you that may be curious...
It's not perfect but what do you want for a '92 that was stolen and recovered?
The niggles: CD player is busted, trunk release lever is broken off, needs all four wheels balanced and a full alignment job, interior dome light is burnt out, clear coat on the paint on the front end is cracked in places, transmission occasionally misses 2nd gear, and there is some paint overspray on the headlight assembly and hood ornament.
The good parts: Leather and suede interior, 6 speaker stereo (tape deck and radio still work great), cool half-windows (only found on this car, the DeLorean, and the McLaren F1), All Wheel Drive, more power (and more weight unfortunately) than the Mustang I wrote about previously, the 4 cam, 24 valve, 3.3 Litre horizontally opposed 6 cylinder engine sounds just like a Porsche, power everything, sunroof, climate control, high beams are like "god's eyes in my headlights," and it looks sexy as hell.

After hearing nothing but rave reviews about Subarus, I too would like/dream to own one. One of my buddy's mom owns a 1987 AWD wagon, and there is not a speck of rust eventhough it has close to 400,000km....Amazing. Your SVX has some pretty funky windows, I never seen anything like it. Cool car.

On my way to the garage this morning to have it checked by my mechanic, some punk in a beat up Acura was gawking at my car so bad I thought his head would pop off... it was priceless.
