Just checked out the classifieds Vehicles section for the first time in a while. I was surprised to see the number of die hard CEGers that are selling their SVTs. Have you guys run out of mods or something? What gives?

Actually it is kind of typical. Most folks keep thier cars from 3-5 years, and for many of the contour SVT owners, that time has elapsed, and they are ready for something new.
It's all about balance.

It's spring time, may people get new car fever instead of spring fever.

There are quite alot of "newbies", maybe more than the "exiting" SVT owners.

I pretty much ran out of mods and reasons for modding.  There is no way I am going to pay $1500 for a Quaife & install, $2000 for a 3.0 engine, another $1000 for installation, and then you got other 'bits' (as Terry calls them) that need to be purchased to go along with the mods. I can easily see by the time it's all said and done, I would have spent 30-40k just on mods!

You can do something for Love...
You can do something for Money...
But there is nothing quite so satisfying as doing something out of Spite.
