Okay... so.. there I was, washing my SVT, babying her, like I always am, and behind me pulls this HUGE (20' rims) vehicle. I turn to see what it is, and guess what I read..
"Eddie Bauer Edition"
"Expedition"
"SVT"
I don't know about you guys... but... I KNOW that there is NO SUCH THING as an Expedition SVT.. ESPECIALLY an EDDIE BAUER EDITION one. Called SVT team, they said they had a prototype of one, called the "Thunder", but was never sold (or made).
. I confronted the guy.. "ahem... excuse me... I don't mean to bother you or anything.. .but... I own an SVT.. I mean a real one... and I was wondering where you got those badges?" The guy starts telling me this fabricated story of how he knew the owner of a Fatory, and the owner made him a one of a kind car, etc, etc... whatever...
To each his own, on most things... but he needs to do MORE research, and LESS lying... (putting a Saleen badge on a Mustang works... but an SVT on an expedition?????? C'MON!!!)

He knows a guy at the factory. Yeah, and monkeys might fly out my butt. I think he's a crack dealer delving into the product line.

You should of asked to see what he had under the hood to see what kind of crap he threw on the engine to "try" and make it look authentic

OH.. TRUST ME.. I looked under the hood... I was "really" interested in seeing how "cool" his truck was...
He galdly showed me.. get this... "SVT" in silver sticky backed letters (from PepBoys, etc) stuck to the engine... LOL.. spraypainted RED, (complete with red run-off down the cams, and red speckled residue on the hoses..
LOLOL.. I asked what was so special about the SVT line of engine (looking for "extrude honed", etc, etc..) get this.. "oh.. its got a really big engine that most cars don't" (now THAT was technical... lol.) I am really GLAD that I don't know this "guy" from the factory... he may have duped me into buying the pinto-mobile, too..

The one good thing about this is it indicates people actually attach some value to the SVT name.
