I bought one in February last year... and then sold it in September to buy my '04 Forester turbo. They are magic on the road, but god forbid anything ever breaks. Parts are impossible to find unless you want to spend an arm & a leg, and finding one in good shape is hard. They will chew up transmissions if you have a…

I usually call it what most people in the military and shipyards call it - CVN 72

Okay, okay, it's the USS Abraham Lincoln, but most people just call it the "Lincoln" for short

Am I the only one who thinks this guy sounds like Mutank from the game Tiny Tank?

I think the SVX you guys posted awhile back looked great with gold wheels

Carrier landings are almost always hairy - the sandstorm just adds to the effect of how good the pilots are. In case it hasn't been posted yet, here's some footage of attempted pitching deck landings (go ahead and mute it, the music sucks and there's no other sound)

Seriously? What the hell does this have to do with Jalopnik? The only automotive related theme here is that George Zimmerman was in a truck, and got out to follow Travon Martin. The events that followed are highly contested, and again, have zero to do with anything Jalopnik-like.

And after the incident... (Edit: go to 57 seconds)

Like you, the SVX was a bit of a curiosity for me too... so I bought one back in February for $500. The transmission only had 3rd gear and the car looked like it had seen better days - the paint was messed up, the interior was worse, no radio, multiple electronic parts were only half working, and mismatched tires (a…

Gotcha! I just finished swapping a Legacy 4.11 trans & rear diff into a '92 SVX with 117,000 miles. The one I pulled out was a remanufactured SVX unit that couldn't have had more than 30,000 miles on it (too clean).

No transmission problems? Impressive...

I think I heard $kay's joygasm from here...

I agree totally, and not just for kids! My ex girlfriend could never fall asleep in a car, no matter how tired she was. We took a road trip in my Nova, which has a loud exhaust and poor sound insulation by today's standards, and within 2 hours she was out like a light. It's had the same effect on others in the…

Probably not, but they were probably the lowest bidder.

I didn't think it was possible for a Youtube video to make so little sense, and be so epic at the same time....

No, just... no

Interesting to know that I'm not the only one with this problem... While not the ultimate cause, it was one of the many factors that caused my last relationship to end. Every special occasion (holiday, birthday, stars aligning, etc) I always felt the "need" to get something nice for my girlfriend, namely everything…
