    Default EBAY Troll? Is it one of us? I hope not...

    So my car is on ebay again and I get this public message...

    "DUDE why the he-- did you do all of that work on a LOW mileage SVT? I hate to be the one to tell you so but, you should have just done a few mods and left everything else alone. You actually lowered the value of your ONE OWNER SVT by doing all that work to it! You KIDS will never learn to leave well enough alone! Sorry for the slam session, I just think you are a dumm a-- for what you did to your LOW MILEAGE SVT. later hater."

    I respond publicly as follows:

    Holy Crap! Im sorry for everything. It started out slow, just a suspension mod here and there. Then the 2.5 liter engine blew while rounding a right hand bend. I read up on the internet that others had the same problem with their 2.5 so I decided I didnt want to get a junkyard engine and have the same thing. So I decided to upgrade to the 3.0 liter. Then everyone said, hey, if you put in a 3 liter than you better upgrade the tranny. Its a disease. Im sorry for having it.

    I thought I was being as polite as possible given that the guy was insulting me and even a little humorous. So I get a private email from him...

    "BUT it is a 50,000 mile car... did you get a lemon or something? One day you will look back and say " what the hell was I thinking about by wasting so much money on a car that I will not have for more than just a few years"?! You must be under the age of 20, and/or still live with mom and dad. If you like to throw money away so much, mail me some and I'll use it for my NEW HOME I just got! halla!! "


    His email address is Jaw74@aol.com. His ebay id is ktw98. Does anyone know who this is???

    His ramblings deserved zero responses from you.

    The guy has no idea what the hell he is saying.

    The only SVTs that are going to hold any 'value' are the ones that have under 10k miles on it.
