...offered to buy my SVX today.

I pulled up to the drive-thru window and the 1st words out of his mouth: "how much you want for that car?"

I was like... "10 grand..." then I started laughing and told the guy "but it's only worth like 3". What surprised me was before I could finish my sentence, he got excited and was asking for my phone number so he could set up a deal after he got off work. I think he figured out I was kidding 'cause he didn't press me on it... but $10k for a '94 SVX? Realistically, I think my car would go for around $6k, and I'd still be out like $2000 when you factor in all the work I've put into it.

So, I wonder what kind of car he thought it was? I think 'cause of the wedge design and red paint people must think it's an 80's Ferrari, or a Lotus or something?

I guess I should have stripped the subaru badges and sold it!
