haha,my car is slow. I'm not knocking the duct's fucntional ability,because it works,especially with having a TMIC,it just isn't pleasing to the eye. But in most cases: Function over form.
But Gilroy is just stupid. "Let's put ram air on a stock Contour and make it as fast as a plane!"

NO...I know I am giving you a hard time. I know everyone has their own opinions, but I do like the look of mine and the fact that it had/has function was cool too.
I *think* and I may be wrong, but many things that ricers "do" are labeled ugly only because they have no function.
Ex. wings on accords, civics etc...but you don't hear nearly the complaints about wings on say a an MKIV Supra, or Evo or STi (although you do still get some)

I said that?
Trying to make lemonade with the only lemon I have.
But I was deeply discouraged on doing it because so many people have animosity towards doing such things.
Oh well...
Is my car for sale? PM me if you're in South FL.

That's be just about enough of this...
I don't car if you don't LIKE Gilroy.. don't AGREE with him, or wish he would leave.
Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. If you don't want to do that, then just.. IGNORE HIM.. This is the same "advice" I would give to someone that doesn't like you..
that's just common sense, and COURTESY. this goes for EVERYONE. There's been about enough of the belittling and ribbing on him.

dude, if youre a private citizen and a pilot (ie non-military) AND youre planning on building a kit plane, youve obviously got some money. why on earth are you driving a contour and then complaining about it??  why dont you go buy a nice 3 series or something? hell, if i was a pilot, i wouldnt want to be seen rolling up to airport in a contour.  no offense meant, but obviously you dont care for the car so why not get something else?
btw, when you finally do get your kit plane going, dont let the rich boys with "real airplanes" hassle you too much

Steve, I agree with your theory 100%.
But THIS Gilroy guy is a damn assclown......another run-of-the-mill, internet BS-artist. My thoughts - he probably is making all this "pilot" crap up. I should know, I looked into becoming a pilot about 12 years ago and the thing stopping me was the cost of licensing and the cost of the "hours" themselves. People that had money to do it weren't driving POS cars that had all this problems he dscribes, poor mileage, bad shifting, barely running, etc. - like his Contour sounds like it's doing.
Once Chad's (Stryped) cousing, Gilroy decides to stop spouting off BS about being a pilot, and especially on how he is this higher being, superior to the rest of us then we may cut him some slack, but sorry moderators, till then I will ride him like the assclown he is!

Hmmm. I drive a Contour, I fly planes, It's all about priorities. I drive a five year old car, A. because I like the damn thing. B. Because it allows me to do things like buy a new Triumph Sprint and go flying whenever I please. And C. I own it, it owes me nothing. And no I dont live in a trailer  I just bought a $317,000 (damn) house so I do spend it! You could have become a pilot for the price of the mods on your SVT Stazi. Like I said, priorities. Sure Gilroy is annoying about flying, but he's passionate about it and not a lot of people can say that about anything in their life.
Jim T.
Heck I like the damn car so much your going to get to do the 3.0 on it soon Staz!
Hey. I'm close enough to take him up and see if he's half the pilot he claims.
