it was GREAT fun :cool: !!

Sorry for the excitement , but I don't often get the SVT out of the garage anymore , so each time I get the chance to drive it , it's like driving it fresh & new . It's been better than a month since I last drove it , so I figured since I had to move it to work on the wife's Jetta , I might as well take 'er out for a spin .Today was a brisk day , the air was good , clear /cool so it ran especially great , which made the experience even better . I was so happy with it , I changed the serpentine belt (been meaning to do that for a while) .
Now it's going back into the garage till the next local meet ...

That is all :) .
 
thats why an svt has 2 tail pipes, one for exhaust, and one for you to put your pride in :D, as long as it drives well you should have no problems.
 
:mad::mad: I don't have my car back yet to drive ... this sucks ... i will get to drive it for about an hour then it will be garaged until spring ... :cry:

I know I miss the Contour since I have been driving the Mystique alittle harder then normal ...
 
I saw the title and thought... oh no, what happened.
I'm glad she ran great for you and that you had fun. :cool:
The next time it will be out of the garage is 5 Nov. See ya then.

Good things come to those who wait Brian. ;) Your car is looking fantastic, we don't want to rush perfection. I do know how you feel though.

at least you have a contour/mystique you can drive. Let alone a car with a stickshift. Every time I get into my corolla I groan because I know when I get out of it I will be disapointed.

I like that ... pretty good one :) .

Sorry I scared you , Christine :o . It would be my darn luck though :rolleyes: . Believe me , I think about that all the time . I take good care of it , wash it all the time , keep it ultra-clean , low miles ... then some tool yacking on a cellphone isn't paying attention & BLAM - SVT all gone :cry: . I spend most of my time worrying about watching the other guy & trying to read his mind . I almost wish I would've just beat on the thing from day one , but that's not me .

Don't worry , Brian - you'll drive it more than an hour before you put it away . You'll HAVE to drive it a bit after all this recent action . Gotta show it off , ya know :cool: .

Alias - at least I have our Jettas to drive while the 'Tour sits sleeping - and they're 5-speeds too :cool: . I think they're actually pretty fun little cars to tool around in , day-in day-out . I don't really mind not driving my CSVT (did I just say that ?) , especially on a daily basis . Plus , it keeps the experience fresh for me . Most times I'll go weeks without even seeing my SVT , and it's only down at the bottom of my yard in the garage , LOL :D !
