Ricers Making Fun of Me!

i forgot what ceg'r said this but he says " the contour svt, the best sleeper car" no one knows what that egg is pullin up next to them
 
I have gotten asked if my car was a buick?? The worst part.. he was a car salesman.... At kirkland, ponitac, BUICK!, GMC... HAHA.. I hate stupid people! I just laughed and told him to learn the product that he was selling! (My mom used to work at this dealership so i walk around there like I own it.. haha.. I had been there way before most of the people who work there had..):crazy:

Same.

I either get people who go.. "what car is it? That's STOCK?! :cool:" and other people who just give me the thumbs up :laugh:

I've had people mistake it for civics :rolleyes:

Too bad it didn't come with a supercharger and RWD!

I had someone tell me i was wrong and i had a escort one time i was kinda pissed about it. I do however like the fact that nobody knows what it is. That way i get to brag about what a great car they are missing out on with the civics they just keep waisting money on. Last guy that wanted to race me in his stock del sol saying it was just a contour. I just laughed and walked away.

I also have 2 1984 lincolns with a BMW 2.4L turbo diesle from factory. A lot of people are really confused when they see me fill up when they thing i've got the 5.0. Most gas stations ask if i'm sure i want to put diesle in it before they turn the pumps on.
 
I'll bet if you badged your car as a Contour M-SVT STi Type-R SS Turbo V-Spec II TRD Edition, they would give you the respect you deserve :laugh:

on the other hand... i'll bet the M badge... and the SS... and maybe even the TRD would go right over most ricer's heads. (and i love ripping on any toyota badged with TRD... just pronounce it as its spelled... "turd"). "Yep, that was tuned by toyota's turd department. whats that? its got turd suspension and a turd exhaust? well i guess you got the exhaust sound right then." oh my...

note to self... when its 3:30 am and you have the urge to post, dont. go to bed.
 
My daughter gets the Escort thing too. Took her car to a shop and a bit later the service guy comes to the waiting room and says "the Escort is done". She sits there talking to her friend and the guy repeats himself, again she ignores him. He finally says "hey, your car is done". She says, "I didn't know you were talking to me, I don't drive an Escort". Service guy: "your car is green right? You have the Escort." She says "it's a Contour, didn't you see the COntour.org stickers on the windows?" The guy decided to continue to argue with her.

Her car is de-badged.

As she was leaving she said would never come back since they don't know the difference between a Contour and an Escort.

Some people have no idea.
 
Don't Stress It...

Don't Stress It...

Those bums were probably high or just stuck on stupid! If they are not pulling up in a car that costs at least 4 times what your car costs (when new) with a super hot centerfold mag dame sitting in the passenger (or drivers <equal opportunity>) seat with something super sexy on [gasping on the inhale], then you ain't even gotta waste your oxygen on those alarm hopping, bumper needing painting, sub par cabin space having flat booty car sporting punks [exhale relaxing]!!!!!
 
everyone around here knows what my car is. its funny cause they know its me driving it. even the guys at the parts stores know what my car is. sometimes i get guys pulling up next to me and start reving the cars. then i do the same. light hits green and i just drive nice and slow as im laughing at them speeding down the street.
 
I lived abroad from 1997 to 2004 and hadn't heard of the Contour until I saw one in the dealer's lot. It was a basic Zetec model, and the first mile of the test drive sold me. The car continues to sell itself to me, especially after learning on this forum that Ford thought the car was worthy of an SVT model. I've been thinking a lot lately about replacing my '99 Zetec in the next few months with a late model SVT.

I had these kids i know standing next to my car, one using my spoiler as an are rest. I said "hey dont lean on that, I like my, It's 1 of 2XX!" Like looked at me all shocked and stuff. Seconds later "What is this anyway, a Ford? With a confused look on there face. I told them what it was...still confused look on there face. I got in the car, flashed the leather interior closed the door and drove off. I think they are still standing there. :laugh:
 
I had a kid at Pep Boys on Friday standing in the parking lot staring at my car. I was picking up a fuel filter. He had a Sundance with a huge metal wing on it with some performance parts stickers all over the back window. I passed him as I was walking out. I got in and looked over my shoulder and he was still looking at the car. LOL! I guess he really liked it. Maybe a man crush?
 
People are pretty ignorant out there. They're not worth giving the time of day.

I had a bunch of ricers heckle me at the grocery store as I was approaching the truck last week. I pretended like I didn't hear them.
Too bad those sissies didn't stick around long enough to hear me start up the V10 beast. They hopped in their cars and sped off with fart pipe haste instead.

Honestly, I think rice boys take a bunch of flack from everyone, so any chance they get for some backlash, they'll take, regardless of how stupid they sound.
 
Haha I get this too.

Haha I get this too.

Some a-hole I used to work with thought my car was a 4 cylinder Taurus, and I had some kid that drives nothing but beaters (I know the kid he is a a-hole too) said my car was a Topaz, I'm like it's a Mystique, in a not so friendly voice. And some kid in the passenger seat of a escort wagon, one night (saw my contour.org stickers) said thats not a contour, I just kept looking striaght ahead, and the rest I can't say. ;)
 
You are all wrong you just added an SVT badge to a contour! :laugh:


Just playing man! I knew from the start that there was an SVT Contour. I couldn't afford it but still got the 4 banger LX. Dont sweat it man, CSVT are pure s3xy cars. :drool:
 
The first time i saw a contour SVT was my jr. year in high school. I thought that it was just a contour, and tried to 'play around' with it. from then on out, i knew not to mess with them, and now i know why i wasn't able to 'play around' as long as the other guy did.

I get people asking me all of the time whats an SVT? is that an escort?

I shake my head in total disbelife (sp?)

It's alright though, when im at a red light and a ricer pulls up, I look at him and say (with a smirk on my face)......."its just a contour..."
