I know it's random but I thought i'd share it with everyone since I'm so happy  :lol:

Couple of hiccups to take care of but I drove it today.
"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

Congrats.  This is almost as monumental as when Larry Flynt ran for the governor of California or when Fred Durst made a quality movie or two.

So how does it drive and what do the 'rents think that they're not going to have the chance to represent the motherland and buy you a Kia?

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

Congrats!  The Contour SVT is cooler than a penguin inside a freezer.  It's the perfect Q-car stealthmobile.

About damn time you got it running!  :lol:

Next up needs to be a straight-pipe dual exhaust with the stock resonator in place. That setup makes the little 2.5L motor sound like an old school Mustang

Good job. :clap:

Bringing a dead car to life is a momentous occasion.  I should buy you a drink.  I will.  Go to the Scotland Yard in downtown Toronto and tell them you're drinking on me.
