My best friend had a 99' Contour SVT from new, it was a lot of fun. At the time it was known as a 'M2.5' which admittedly was a stretch, his dad had an E36 M3 at the same time and the Contour was definitely less of a car. Still lots of fun, glad to see them still be appreciated.
That RS America shows how ridiculous collectors are. There is nothing special about that car. Take a 964, add M030 Sports Suspension, delete some stuff, and that's it. Very enjoyable show, guys. Particularly loved the Aspen (a car I have never seen before... unlike the Mondeo because I'm in Europe).
That Lucid. I believe no current EV will be viewed as special in 10 years’ time. Because what is special about them is how fast they are, and nothing more. And in 10 years’ time, they won’t be as fast as the latest EVs.
I bought another "European Ford" called the Lincoln LS. It was fun for a bit until CEL came on and it would not shift out of third gear. I'm done with Ford and their transmissions.
I will say that often, when watching "certain" car reviewers, testing low weight versions of some cars, that when they weigh way over 200 lbs, I wonder about the veracity of their opinions on the feel of the stripped out specials. Because weighing 300 lbs obliterates any gains the light weight specials could offer. I know it's not nice to say, but we were all thinkin it. Plus handling with that much weight on one side of the car. But God bless.
Kennan really seems to think he is a better and more car guy because he cant envision anything other than an M5. Yellow is lesser? Yea if only we could be as enlightened and have a 30 year old sedan as a benchmark for everything. Quit thinking your tastes are better and more objective than everyone good lordt lol!
And TBF Kennan is a treasure and I like him as a host and his thoughts, as shallow as they may be outside of E39's. Just dont be in a race to thumb down anything and everything, the world is too big for that! White wheels and preventive work, even if its something the next owner would do is not a detriment. Factory isnt infallible, I know engineers for OEM's and (shock) they are tunnel headed and also cant broaden scope well, some are truly foolish people too. Gasp even from the engineering diagrams on up, its just people and not divinity at the end of the day!
I have a salvage '98 SVT Contour I bought at Copart at least 5-6 years ago and it was just too far gone to bring back from the dead and get rebuilt. That being said, I was considering throwing a bid on the SVT Contour but it's already at 10K . . . that's wild, a little out of my price range on what I think these cars are worth, even though they are rare now and pretty nice for the time period. That being said, if the winner is on here and needs a parts car , let me know! ;)
Only the real ones will remember when this was called "2024 12 CB Live Now Episode V1"
This is a terrible way for me to find out that I'm not a real one. 🥲
They have been doing this for WEEKS and apparently nobody does anything 😂
"...the deserve that they respect." That's about right.
"They're purposely built for that purpose."
I think Filipo thinks faster than he can actually talk, like damn dude BREATHE
Kennan has done wonderfully with his speaking skills.
Time to make Filipo understandable too...
A/S/L?
Kennan:"E39/M/Five"
15:42 cars that don't get the deserve that they respect 😂
Holy freak that’s amazing
he's acoustic, give him a break
Since the vehicle we are talking about here is a Chrysler aspen. Filipos error actually makes him correct.
Kennans the type of guy to name this episode like a Chirey car.
Kennan not even acknowledging that corvette is ridiculous.
I love the fact that Filipo loves cars like the Contour SVT and the Saab Viggen

“Sweater Talk with Kennan and Filippo.”

You don't think the Cybertruck will be viewed as special?
Drink each time you hear - legitimately.
Gotta love Filippo and his enthusiasm for Corvettes.
Fillipo the type of guy to name his car "2024 12 CB Live Now Episode V1"
I believe the race car’s Cyclone(?) 3.7 is the final evolution of the 2.5 dohc motor in the SVT Contour. All part of the old duratech line.
I bought another "European Ford" called the Lincoln LS. It was fun for a bit until CEL came on and it would not shift out of third gear. I'm done with Ford and their transmissions.
I had a 2000 SVT contour ,modded of course😊,amazing car ,one of the best I've ever owned,it can definitely punch above its weight class.
First car was a 98 contour. The svt seemed so cool back in 2001
The sold cars are actually sold, right? Or are they bid on and then backed out of?
You can't ridicule pedantic Potsche owners while also celebrating that RS America, a truly stupid car only valuable because it's limited.
The fact that you dont cover the Top Secret Supra is criminal
Filippo is the type of guy to put a dot on his personalized plates
1998 is not the malaise era, come on Kennan
My first car was a hand me down Contour SE. It was fun for what it was.
I know it's Schtick but c'mon Kennen don't always be so dismissive of cars
Whoever paid $200k for that Lucid…….Good luck pal 🤣🤣🤣🤣
.. i prefer kennan and filippo than doug... now that doug is a richest dude, he doesnt sound the same anymore
Nothing on earth makes a Corvette special. It can’t rehabilitate the image earned in the 80s.
Super cool cars in this vid
What first world problem do you have .Kennan I got altitude sickness skiing
8:40 HAHAHAHA
Fast Wagon is the best vehicle
I have to know, is Kennan gay? No hate but you don’t see gay car guys much.
He is not

Gonna find that white Rossa outside a steakhouse reeeeal soon 😏 IYKYK #dangerousnights
Am I the only one who thinks all BMWs in general aren’t special?
Kennan the type of sophisticated gentleman to work @ Marshall Goldman

I'll still look forward to more of him! Kennan keep on!
He is just really passionate about them. He likes other cars too. He is right yellow is terrible. I have never seen a car I liked in yellow.

Never knew that Porsche gave us a ... constellation... prize.
How cool.
Hi!
Where's the HAM?
Kennan comes across as such a douce most of the time
Filippo, this isnt a rap battle! Talk slower, I can hardly understand you.
dude slow down please :/Cant understand what you are saying
UA-cam has a playback speed option, try 0.5x
Bro a Ford Contour is this guys highlight LOL
im unbelievably early
