Well guys, it's taken me a while to post this, but here goes. In november of '05 I was coming back from a club, and some s**t went down. While taking a turn on 83 South (here in baltimore, MD), my csvt began to fishtail... i corrected the turn and ended up doing 2 360's and bashing my car against the outer wall of this highway. I freaked out a lot that night... and, needless to say, was heartbroken (my csvt was my FIRST car!) Well, time has passed... and I have moved on. I learned alot about the contour through these forums, and got a lotta help with numerous things (tranny issues (god damn shift forks and broken bolt!!), ford honey fluid, Redline MTL, etc etc etc). My csvt will always be missed. Here are some pics of the old toy ...

sorry to hear... sounds like you're all right, though, which means he did his job.

yeah... it sure did. I got out with a slight bump on the head and a bruise from the seatbelt, my buddy got out with pretty much the same. It was a horrific night, but, it's weird hoe things work out sometimes... i've been wanting an SRT-4 since before they came out (saw it at an auto show and fell in love!)

.....I don't know how some of you guys do it, I can't count the number of 'fishtail' accidents that I've read about on this site in a FWD car....

Sounds like you got a rough life... crash your CSVT and get a SRT...

Yeah, it's even more fun than I expected! Done a few red light races here and there... this thing is INSANE! I guess all the sadness I felt when i lost the csvt is now being replaced by the sweet sound of a blow off valve

At 130mph entering a 25mph turn the ass end comes around trust me I know. Road America thanks for the sand run offs!
