Make sure you pull me over if you see my silver SE towing a silver Triumph Sprint. That is providing you can even keep up. It sounds like you drive it like it's a garage queen?

2 cents... and Im not saying dont put a hitch on your car.

My car is driven the way it should be, taken to the strip, often taken to redline, and rips through the corners... But I would still NEVER put a hitch on my SVT. I'd definetely figure out another route.

But like I said, i'm not saying not to. They dont look thatttttttttttt bad.


I understand fully Burt. What gets me is the "it's a damn SVT, treat it like gold!" dimwits. It's not a Lambo for gods sake, it's a six year old (minimum) front wheel drive, four door sedan. Hell I might buy an SVT to cut up for the V8 project instead of using my precious, undinged, not repainted, I bought it new with 37 miles, SE Sport. I understand the purist attitude, but I just don't care! In 20 years do you honestly think there will be a resto shop that specializes in Contours? Not a flippin' chance. Unlike some of the guys here,
(not all) I'm older and I've seen many cars and trends come and go. With the exception of a devout few of us with the money, knowledge, and time, these cars for the most part, WILL die off. So save them if you can, but don't tell me how to save mine!
