1. Some idiot gas pumper thought it was a Subaru. 2. A po-dunk LEO wrote down on a ticket, 99 ford 4-door siv,lol 3. A car full of girls were rubbernecking at a light,rolled the window down and asked what kind of car i have.I said svt contour,one girl replied,thats a BUICK right. IDIOTS! Well to there defense i have no badges, other than the sail pannels that say contour,and svt badge on trunklid.And of course the large black svt vinyls on the rear doors.
 
When I lived on the south side in Sheboygan, Frosty had parked the SVT in my driveway and my next-door neighbor's boyfriend was working on his vehicle at the time. Once Kyle got out of his car, the boyfriend next door strolled on over and asked if it was a beefed up Taurus...lol!!
 
driving my buddies svt one time years ago and a city cop rolled up next to me at the light and asked me to roll the window down..he said "thats a sharp looking taurus...bet its fast?!":nonono:
 
You know, I've never had this problem with my stock SVT, however my 3L SVT has been called an escort many times in the short period I've owned it. :nonono:
 
mostly.. "whyd you put a bodykit on a taurus???"

then i'll have friends that see it for the first time and go.. "wow svt contour! those are pretty sick!"

and i'm like.. "no way! someone knows what it is :laugh:"
 
taurus, focus, neon, escort... it never ends. i was delivering subs in the black svt once and a customer was telling me how he did a 3L swap in a cougar. he knew a ton about the svt contour
 
my kitted black pre98 se was called a skyline by some pimple faced 12 year old at a local car show once....the shear dumbness of that comment makes baby jesus cry:nonono:
 
i've gotten the typical escort part, but since it's been all blacked out and emblems all removed, i've had a few people ask if it's an audi
 
i love all the people that tell me that their friend has a turbocharged svt contour, or one guy told me he used to have a whippled svt contour. riiiiiiiiiiiight

Yeah, somehow everyone I've talked to about my car seems to know someone with a supercharged or turbocharged SVT. :rolleyes:

Contours attract cars full of girls? I'm glad I have 2! :laugh:

and I drive my 96 SE that's been called an Escort on too many ocassions. :shrug:

Nobody has ever mistaken my car for anything else, but why do people always think it's AWD? I feel bad disapointing them and saying, "no, it's FWD":nonono:

Same here, most people I associate with (or at least care that they know what it is) know of it, but I get asked all the time if it is RWD!

I then roll deep into the gas in first with the wheel turned and subsequently head towards the opposite ditch to ensure they never make that mistake again. :laugh:
 
and a 3L...:drool::drool::drool::drool:

back on toopic... some one once asked me how i got a 4 door RX7


i just turned around and walked away:nonono::nonono:
