Banned?
he let it slip...
I had this funny feeling from the start that he was just going to buy a prestine stock SVT and just drive that around.
THAT or sink WAY to much cash into a well built Turbo SVT... Stazi's per chance?

You might be a CEG'er if:
-----You spend $20 at the self-spray car wash, $30 at Wal-Mart to get supplies and 6+ hours polishing/waxing/cleaning the engine of an SVT you just bought for $800 that has severe hail damage and trim falling off just to go to a 35-minute dinner at Chartruse Caboose in Overland Park to meet the guys from www.fast4doors.com!

-If you tell your friends after buying the car that its a rare vehicle and because it's an E0 even rarer vehicle only to find out with in the next few weeks there are 2 other IDENTICAL E0's in town and 3 E1's.
(Yes I'm pointing fingers at you Grant and Ryan!! :laugh: LOL. We did have good times though. Mini meets at my mom's or Wal-Mart.)
-Realizing that because there were so many SVT's in town that you now had friends to compare problems with and to help you fix yours when it broke, which was maybe once a week.
-Selling your 98 E0 with 98,xxx on it because you wanted to get into something more practical only to buy a Saab 9-5 Aero and wish you still had your SVT.

You own more than one Ford CD.
You know how to replace rear drum brakes with discs.
You hunt the junk yards looking for little green lights.
You can tell the difference between a 96 and 98 by seeing just the corner of the tail light.
You know that a 95 was the only year to have a mechanical speedo.
You know the difference between return and returnless fuel pumps.
Your car runs out of gas with 1/2 tank.
Your SE has mostly SVT parts. The rest are aftermarket.
Your Tour has Stique under door lights, rear grab handles, coat hooks, and rear dome light.
You know Ford has a kit for dash warp, because you had to fix yours.
You are an expert at defogging headlights.
The game warden stopped you because he knew you were hiding a moose in your car.
YOU ACTUALLY OWN more than ONE of these!
