Aww well that sucks. No more Blue SVT. Leave a note in it somewhere about CEG that maybe the next buyer will find Have fun with the truck. At least you won't have to worry about it breaking. Sounds like it might fit your needs a little better anyways. Fillin up won't be fun though -Jason

Chris: I'll call you tomorrow sometime (tues). I'm not sure what your saying about the sway bar.
I love my tour but I have driven it a total of 3 months since January. That doesn't make you feel good about the car no matter how much fun it was to drive.
Jason: gas won't be to bad because I don't have to buy that expensive premium stuff anymore. Its works out to be about $10 more a week but I'm sure I'll save more than that on insurance.
Saturn: Ford trucks are miles ahead of their cars. They have been #1 in truck sales forever with F-150 being the best sellling truck since it was introduced. I think its pretty safe to say it is way better than the tour in terms of build quality and reliability. 6 year 75,000 mile warranty doesn't hurt either!

Josh, Well it's good to hear that a definitive decision has been made about your SVT. It's good that you got rid of your money-pit, maybe you can show up to a meet in your truck wearin cowboy boots and a hat . In actuality I really like ford trucks, and they are a lot better than their cars!! Good luck with it, I am jealous of your factory warranty!! If I liked mooses, then I'd want the filter James
SVT with CE light mod and a camera mount. Naughty Pictures Why yes it is true, I am on my third engine.

James, I wont be in a cowboy hat and boots thank you very much. You must not know anything about the dirtbike world. Crazy guys and lots of hot chicks in short shorts and shirts. Perhaps you should come to a race and watch all the eye candy that walks by.
Something you might also like about he F-150 is that you can drive for 50 miles with absolutely no coolant in the engine!!! I know you could have used that.
Christopher: You are welcome to the filter as it tested better on the dyno than the KKM did. And only James' car moosed, mine didn't.

Josh your a big PIMP!
Thanks for the support. I'll hook you up fo sur!
You are so right about the honeys at the track, I have worked two outdoor National MX track events and the girls are so juicy. Lots of young guys in trucks with loud systems and pressure washers!

Josh, I know, I have always loved Ford trucks, in fact that is the only kind of truck I would ever own. Excellent choice! How well of a trade-in did you get?

Well considering it has been repainted, had tranny rebuilt, on 2nd engine and 2 rear ending accidents I got 7500 for it. I took a loss of course but I am happy.
