As JFolker sat on the toilet looking at Auto Trader and he found what he thought to be my old SVT, so we called and sure enough it was my old SVT with the same Flowmaster exhaust and everything. The ad doesnt say anything about it being a salvage title, but when we asked him, he confirmed it. It was so odd, I want to go test drive it and see how it drives compared to before it was totalled and restored. Here is the ad below.

Twice the crap in half the time. It was awesome; i couldn't poop fast enough to show him. LOL, we talked to someone named Norbert who seemed to know nothing of the car and said that it was probably totalled due to vandalism. If I hadn't flushed that last bit of TP i would have thrown it at his lying a$$....LOL

Do you have that topic handy? I don't remember.
At any rate, it's still very amusing that many salesmen BS their way into a sale... if he didn't know anything about the car he should have gotten somebody who did!
