I watch this section quite often, and for the most part its dead. I'm in Tulsa, OK, and I know floating around this town is a SF SVT, and a Black SVT, Don't know the owners though. I'm part of Tulsa Street Scene, but would like to do something separate for Contour guys around the south central, maybe do like a monthly meet or bi-monthly meet. We can figure out how many people would be interested, then pick a central location to everyone that we could all agree on.

I'm checking to see if anyone would be interested in this? Please post here if you are.
 
Alright so far there is 3 of us.

1. Slow_Aero
2. SVT-R-US
3. tsSVT

Hopefully we can get some more interest going with people from surrounding areas. What would everyone be interested in doing as far as meeting up goes? Just a meet, or meet and cruise to some where? Lets get some ideas flowing.

On a side note, I notice that both of you are from Oklahoma City area, my Wife is from Choctaw, so we know the area quite well and are out in the MWC/Choctaw area every week or so.
 
I'm up just west of Wichita. Depending on work and weather I might be able to make it. I hope to get to Hallett sometime but I don't know if I'd run my Contour or my Cavalier. I'm thinking the 5 speed in the Cavalier might be more fun.
 
I am here in Tulsa (Jenks) with a SF 98 SVT and a white 98 SE Sport / SVT-clone. Neither get driven, and with this heat, I can't stand to be outside tinkering with them at all.

I see a sliver wingless SVT in Jenks from time to time, and during baseball season I've seen a bald guy in a TRed SVT headed to the Jenks fields.
Dealer in Claremore is spamming Craigslist with TRed with wheels and some funky winglets? on the front bumper corners.

I'll be down for a meet sometime, as soon as we start seeing 80 degree weather....
 
I'm in west Tulsa, and work over at Limco Airepair by the Pepsi plant. I've seen the one on craigslist and was tempted to go look at it, looks like the rear drivers door is a different color. Let me know if you need any help with them. And this heat is horrible, I was out at 4-8pm yesterday (113 degrees in BerryHill) Doing brakes on my bosses truck, and a radiator in his daughters car, I was pretty sure I was going to die.

If you don't ever have anything to do on a Saturday night our car club Tulsa Street Scene(www.tulsastreetscene.com) does a cruise in from 7-11pm then most of us head to the midnight drags at Tulsa Raceway Park.
 
I was just in Kansas City two weeks ago for a music festival and being there got me thinking. What about a large scale SC meet in KC? We could visit the plant where our cars were built. On top of that there is Kansas speedway and the Boulevard brewing company right there. It would be a bit of a drive for anyone from Tx but they could easily meet up with some of the OKC crowd to make the trip a little less tedious.

What do you guys think?
 
I'd be down for a tour of the "Claycomo" KC plant. We tried to do this years ago - in fact, they were still producing the '00 Contours at the time... but went on a Sunday, the only no-tour day of the week. I just read on Wikipedia that they stopped tours as a result of 9/11? Hopefully thats been reversed.

On our way to KC, me and another Tulsa guy were maybe speeding a little bit. We both got pulled over, at the same time, by the same cop. I thought for sure one of us was going to get away, but he nabbed both.
 
I'm car #2 in the slow lane. He pulls along side of me, I'm hoping he is just passing - instead, he motions me to pull over. I slow down and hug the shoulder. Sheriff passes me and pulls alongside SVT #1, now in the slow lane (probably laughing at me) and the gives him the same order. Sheriff then pulls in front of SVT #1 until he sees we are both stopping. I had an Escort, buddy had the V1, neither went off. He estimated 75/55 & wrote tickets. We didn't argue at all.

Around the same time, there was a (now urban legend) email going around that basically said, when you get a ticket, overpay it. The court would have to issue a refund check for the overpaid amount. Email went on to say DONT cash the refund, throw it away, because IF you cash it, the ticket "transaction" is completed in the ticket databases, and insurance and drivers license points "find out" about your speeding problems. Whatever the email said, it sounded logical enough, so I overpaid by check $2.00. A few weeks later, I get a receipt in the mail. The computer-printed fine was crossed out and replaced with a handwritten fine amount.... $2.00 higher, and a handwritten "Thank you!!" with a big smiley face.

:laugh:. That does sound logical. And i imagine that probably worked earlier on. But they caught on to it. Hence the smiley face.
