[rant] Never again do i have to drive through Philly, never again do i want to.
Today was torture for me... drivin through Philly with a stiff suspension is just ...HORRIBLE! I don't see how the M3 owners, Escalades, and AMG's with the low profiles even dare to drive there
anyway so after HELL...i finally find the street im lookin for off of Chestnut Street...(some club) i park in a garage, so i won't get keyed...broken into or whatnot.
so i find a nice parkin spot in the garage...an M3 is parked down a few cars... an hour later (club sucked)i go back to the garage...only to find hand prints all over my car and the trim piece of my window hanging loose... WTF?! there is an M3 down the way...and ur tryin to take a contour. Anyway i suppose the Viper alarm system saved me [/rant]

Wow, that sucks, dude. I've had whole cars stolen down there so it is rough at times. Hope everything gets fixed up! Jerks...

Sorry to hear about your misfortune gSto,
All SVT owners have to be careful. Since the introduction of the SVTF, SVT Contours are being stolen left and right because the SVTF owners are looking to duplicate Project Focus(SVTF stuffed with a Duratec).
Just be careful where you park and keep your alarm in working condition. They will go to great lengths to get their hands on a SVT Duratec engine. Expecially if it is a 3L engine!

Sorry to hear about that dude.
One time in Philly, a car had fallen into a hole on the right front side and was hanging with the back left tire in the air! It is a [censored] place to drive.

Bunch of babies.. I've been driving through Philly for over 10 years now, in cars with a MUCH more severe suspension setup. NYC, now THAT makes me squeemish.
Sucks about your car.. That's why if I'm going to a club or something, I make someone else drive. (Which club did you go to?)

Old City has old brick roads which can be bad. Eh, I drive in Philly all the time with no real issues. Except for the one time the road was missing on 20th St. That was rough.

Are you being serious? Saying that the SVTF owners are stealing SVTC's? Or that theives are doing it to sell to SVTF owners?

My SVT was keyed on 4th and Callowhill when I was in Tiki Bob's. I feel your pain.
For parking in Olde City ( I go tthere a lot), I try my best to park on the bridge for Penn's Landing.
