You can probably get a lot from my sig. I'm 35 in about a week, have a beautiful wife and two wonderful children. When they are not hitting me up for money they let me play with my cars and my computer. My previous job I described as talking and drinking coffee, often in different cities throughout the USA, I was a trainer for educational partners associated with Sun Microsystems. Basically, I got tired of getting worked up talking about computers all day long, but having to watch as the students did all of the work {not unlike talking about sex, then watching without a chance to participate } So, I left technical education, to work directly for Sun as a System Support Engineer. I traded my travel (1-3 weeks/month) for a week on call out of every three. The stock options are really nice, as Sun is one of the few participating in the "dotcom" revolution that actually makes money. The stock doubles and splits at least once a year! My options made almost $5K today, not to mention the stock in the stock purchase program This allows me to let my wife be a professional mom, and we still have the cash for toys (for both the parents and the kids) Ok, I'm not bragging, just proud of my employer, they really know how to treat employees. Sun get's it in this age of tight labor. They understand that it is the talent of people who got them where they are in the market today. And with technology that I find superior to MicroSoft, I hope the market place learns even more about Sun. I know that I maintain some serious mission critical systems for MasterCard, AT&T, SBC, Lucent, AGEdwards, Edward Jones and the USAF. They aint (technical term) running these systems on PC's with NT.

My name is Dave Lychak, and I reside in Sherwood Park, Alberta. I just got married a year ago, and have recently purchased a home and am in the process of switching jobs to become a marketing manager for a high-tech firm. I own 2228 of 2760 - 99 SVT which is an absolute blast to drive where I live (open highways, and mountain roads are only a couple hours away). Also have the misfortune of living in the FIRST area in North America to get #$%@ photo radar capable red-light cameras installed (they are now doing trial runs to see how much more money they can squeeze out of us). Limited mods to my 'tour consist of full synthetics used throughout as well as a K&N air filter. But, I do have those turbos kicking around......

Hey everyone! My name is Matt Holl, I am 32 years old and I live in Royal Oak Mi. home of the Woodward dream cruise, the biggest car show in the world! I work for Ford Motor Company as a product design engineer on automatic transmissions. Right now I am on the Lincoln LS 5-speed automatic program. I am married and have a one year old daughter. I have a 99 se sport with a few mods. I love my Contour, kinda wish I had an SVT, but decided on the se due to monetary constraints! I also have a 1953 Ford mild kustom that has been in my family since it was new, and was my Fathers first car! Most of my extra cash goes into mods for that, but it does make a nice (albeit slow) ride!

Name is Jon Oldham. I'm 27 years old and I'm from Long Beach, NY (South Shore of Long Island), but I'm getting my MBA full time at The University of Arizona in Tucson, AZ (yes, my car has made 2 cross country trips so far, soon to be 3). I'm focusing my MBA studies on Finance and Management Information Systems. I got my bachelors degree in Business Administration from The University at Albany in '94, and worked for 5 years as a loan officer for 3 different commercial finance companies before going back to school full time to get my MBA. I specialized in mid to large sized asset based loans, typically used for leverage buy-outs, mergers, and bankruptcy financing.
When I finish my MBA, I would like to work in corporate finance as a senior financial analyst for a major airline or aerospace company.
On my free time, I love to work on and drive my 1970 Corvette with a modified 454, downhill snow skiing, and go boating and water skiing on my '98 Glastron GS180 bowrider. Occassionally play some golf too.

Brad Noon, 28, owner of Silvie, a '99 SE MTX with to many mods to list. After graduating college in '93 with an AAS in Telecommunications and an AAS in computer networking, I've been in the lucrative telecom/computer field ever since. Now working for Lighthouse communications ( http://www.lh.net), I have a lot more responsibility being a Facilities Manager/Operations Tech, leaving me with precious little spare time. In my spare time, I enjoy snowmobile racing (drag racing since I was 9 or 10)), hot rods/street machines, and I am in the final stages of opening my business, http://www.bnmotorsports.com I enjoy modifying my own car as well as helping others understand how to mod their own car. I hope to see all of you at a CEG meet this year as last year's national was a blast. Later, Brad Noon [This message has been edited by bnoon (edited June 20, 2000).]

Joe, I've got a SPARC 5, 70MHz, I'd let go for $75 + shipping. It has a CG6 graphics, but no memory and no hard drive, no CD nor floppy. You really don't want the 2X CD's that come with the SPARC 5's anyway. I just took a 411 Tape case and put a Plexstor UltraPlex 40X SCSI CD in that case and it loads software much faster than the 2X drives that came as options for the SPARC 5. I can get a keyboard/mouse as they are consumable parts. Pretty much any SCA scsi hard drive would work. I ordered a 9GB SCA drive from Megahaus over a year ago for less than $350. I do have a 535MB SCA drive I'd probably throw in, basically so you could use the bracket to mount a larger drive. Can't go very far with 535MB these days. You got my e-mail in my profile, so you know what to do.

Brian Orlando Salazar, 22. Hailing from Haverhill, MA. I graduated in 1999 with a B.A.S. from Dartmouth College in Studio Art and Engineering. I am currently employed at a *small* internet start-up in North Andover, MA as their Lead Designer / Consultant. I love this new job...better pay than Architecture (which is where I was before this). When I'm not with my fiance, web designing, or playing with my car, I can be found drawing or painting in my studio. Getting married in October! I'm trying to buy a '72 VW Karmann-Ghia before October (for obvious reasons). ; ) If the Ghia purchase doesn't work out, I will be finishing a '69 Mustang resto. Anyone in MA wanna help?

I'm Joey Chestnut, 28 yrs old with a wife and 2 kids. I bought the Contour because I needed a car that could fit baby seats...and was lucky enough to get the SVT model because my wife had no clue I miss the car I traded in (a modified 95 Saturn SC2) but even that is nowhere near as fun to drive as this. Too bad I couldn't have traded in the wife's Explorer. ------------------ Joey 2000 SVT Black It takes a big man to cry...but it takes a bigger man to laugh at him.

Guess I'll join in as well.. My name's Sujeet Patel, I'm 25 years old, live in South Jersey. I work as a Systems Integration Specialist for Management Systems Integrators - We develop enterprise systems for large cable and telecommunication companies, pretty cool stuff. I graduated from Rutgers University in '96, ran my own dotcom company for awhile, cashed out, and now do this stuff now from home (when I'm not traveling) while I daytrade on the side I've got an addiction problem.. with cars. Currently driving a 98.5 SVT, 99 Boxster, and 99 MB-SLK Sport, and yet I found myself at the Lexus dealership yesterday looking at the IS300! The SVT is seriously modded, the other two go plenty fast on their own.

I am 33 years old and am a lecturer at the Howard University Department of Physics and Astronomy in Washington, DC. I will begin a postdoc next week at another university. My area of research is the general circulation and dynamics of planetary atmospheres utilizing numerical models which employ isentropic coordinates (a novel approach to this problem). I will utilize a Beowulf cluster which rivals Crays and other mainframes in terms of computational speed. The NASA Cray J-90 I used during my dissertation work (2 years ago) is now comparable to a 286 in pc terms. So goes the pace of technology.
I own a '98 Contour SVT and an '86 Buick Grand National.

Like the username sez, my name's Steve Bassen. I'm 19 yrs old and live outside of Frederick, MD. I'm a computer specialist for the National Cancer Institute at Fort Detrick, and currently attending Frederick Community College where I'm working on a BS in computer science. I'm about a year from transferring to Hood College. I got my 98 Mystique LS w/ 5speed last September, and traded it in on my current car, a 2000 Black w/ blue SVT at the end of May. She's got about 2600 miles on her right now, and I just changed to Mobile1 syth last saturday (changed the oil w/ Valvoline dino oil at 600 miles before vacation). Mods are starting very slowly while I get my $$ in order again, but it'll come around. I live about 15 minutes away from 75-80 dragway (that's the one they use in Motorweek), although I'm not going to take my baby there for quite awhile yet. Err, this is going on too long, I'm cutting off here....

Hey folks, my name is Stephen Mack. I live in Plattsburgh, NY. At the ripe age of 19, I'm a network operator at the local hospital, and I'm in negotiations with Cellular One for a job as an installer. I picked up my 98' Mystique LS in april, and have since put close to 9k on it. In my free time I write software, take long walks on the beach, and watch the sun set (hehe).

I'm Tim, i'm a late 20's sort of guy that works in the high-end Networking field and plays with a lot of switches and big routing iron (Cisco 75xx and 12xxx, Juniper Mxx, you name it). Been doing this Internet thing since '94 and it's turned into a fun and profitable living in the last few years. Got my SVT when I was frustrated trying to find an affordable yet fast Euro sedan (yeah right). I love it! I just took it on some desolate country roads tonight (out of the city) and listened to that perfect exhaust and engine tone... Glad to see Contique owners are so varied in their backgrounds!

I am Mike, and I no longer have my 95/V6/MTX, just got my new Taurus 00 TecV6. Could not find a good SVT. Sorry, but the T does handle well and it is fast with 200hp. I work for a BIG computer manufacture in Austin Tx., as a Computer Tech. Miss my 95, but life goes on, and will still come to this site....

I'm 26, and currently living in England. I have a flat in Barrie, Canada, but I don't see it too often. I currently work for Skyservice Airlines, Sporthawk Int'l, and Rootsair. I am a Stores Co-ordinator for all three airlines.
I travel most of the year, spending a few months here, a few there. Generally my summers are spent in Europe, mostly northern England. This winter I will be in Toronto again (g/f made me stay home!)
As far as interests go, I was a pool player, and car-nut until I was forced into the whole rat-race thing. I enjoy just about everything, including my girlfriend (duh!) photography, aviation, touring cars, web-design, and travel.
Cheers,
Ghosst

I drive a stereo modded 96 GL ATX with a KKM intake. Not worth putting performance mods on my car but I love driving it. Sure it is pretty slow but I have had the car for 1/5 years and still love to drive it

hi my name is matthew ryan, just turned 25 years old and im a radiology major here in south carolina. previously enjoyed mostly v8 rwd cars but have really come to love my 98 svt contour. so far ive added 17" wheels, springs, kkm, short-throw shifter, and a few stereo mods. i have 40 weekly hours of clinicals for two more years @ zero pay left to complete, so this car has been real blessing considering fuel economy and upkeep. hope to add a few more mods over time but for the most part i am very pleased with the performance of the car. in my spare time, i work part-time in sports televison production to help pay for school, enjoy boxing (amateur cruiser wt), working on friends cars (mostly fords), and working out. have really enjoyed the CEG fourm and all the information provided here

Hello Everyone,
My name is Andreas Keller, I am 27 and live in Westland, Michigan. I went to school at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. I work for TRW as a Brake Design Engineer and am currently on a foreign assignment in Koblenz, Germany so I am getting my fill of high speed runs! I sold my 96 SVT Cobra right before moving over here and have a 98.5 SVT Contour (wife's car) sitting in the garage (along with 17" rims/tires and Eibach springs waiting to be installed). I plan on buying a 2001 Cobra Convertible upon our return in August. I wanted to thank everyone on this forum for the great info anytime I posted a question. It's nice to learn a little more about everyone! Thanks,
Andreas

My name is Coretta. I live in Oakland County, Michigan. I'm 29 years old and recently married to a handsome "Car Guy" who I met in calculus class many years ago back when we were both young optimistic mechanical engineering students. We currently have no children but we treat our '00 SVT Contour ("Beauty") and '98 Cobra ("Beast")like kids. I am a consultant so I do a lot of driving. My Contour has never let me down. I won't list my resume because you probably don't care, but I will say that I've worked for all of the big three. I enjoy driving around town in either car and will occasionally take a cruise down Woodward just for giggles. When I grow up (hee hee) I'd like to find a Jaguar XJ220 (vroooooom!!!) in good condition to take up and down the track a few times. But until then, the SVT's will have to make do! Finally, I'd just like to say that I love my life and have been blessed with wonderful family and friends to whom I owe my success. Happy motoring! ------------------ 2000 Black SVT / Tan K&N only NO engine mods until warranty expires

Hi, I'm Daniel Allen of Taylorsville, NC. I'm an insurance agent and I'm 25. I purchased my 1996 Ford Contour new on October 4, 1996. I've put 97,000 miles on good 'ol Darwin and he's still going strong. I almost traded him last month, but I changed my mind and convinced myself to keep him, glad I did. I just found the site last week and I love my car even more than I did. I've put a bra on it, new wheels, some nice looking chrome along the bottem of the trunk, splashguards, among other mods, I'm thinking of removing the ding guards next. I'm giving him a much needed waxing in the AM. Hope everyone has a great 4th.

Hello to everyone from Toledo,OH. I'm new to the group, just got my 2000 SVT(silver/blue). I'm 30, married w/four kids. I work for MSC Walbridge Coatings, a steel coating plant, as a QC inspector. My wife works for Owens Corning, as an Executive Administrative Assistant. So far I've added the following:
-K&N filter
-ASP UD pulley
-B&M Edge shifter
-Eibach springs
-Gorilla hex socket wheel lock system
-Matrix 80/100W blue ion headlamps
I'll be adding an SCA CAI very soon, and after the 2500 mile break-in I'll add the following:
-Full synthetics
-70HP NOS nitrous system
-Full exhaust(headers/y-pipe/cat-back)
I hope the first time I get it to the drag strip this thing kicks ass! My thanks to everyone that contributes to this sight, all the help and info is invaluable.

My name is Steve. I am 33 years old and work at a radio station in Rockville,MD (outside Washington,DC). It is a 35 mile commute each way from my home in Frederick County, MD. Thank goodness for the comfort and power of my 97 V6 GL.I don't worry too much about modifications, I just try to keep a protective coating of dirt on the surface. I could use advice on inexpensive tires that are good in rain and snow and if there are any brighter headlights available.

Hi, my name is...what? My name is...who? My name is (wickka, wickka, wickka)... Reggie Wallace. I just turned 35 yesterday [July 27 (but I don't feel "old")]. I graduated with a degree in mathematics from Radford University. I am currently in-between jobs (looking for a Network Engineer or a Systems Administrator position) and trying to learn Linux and Perl while at home. I live in Ashburn, VA (part of the new Silicon Valley). I have a '98.5 Silver Frost SVT 'Tour and an '89 Probe GT (original owner) that I use as my everyday car. On my SVT, I have a KKM, an Alpine in-dash 3CD changer, Pioneer three-way 6x8s in the front doors, Pioneer two-way 6x8s in the rear doors, a Rockford Fosgate 4-channel (25X4) amp, Pirelli P7000 SuperSport tires, and dark window tint. I use Mobil 1 oil (5W30) and Mobil 1 oil filters religiously. Future mods include the European Handling Kit from BAT, Taylor spark plug wires, and NGK Platinum spark plugs. Since I own the Probe, I do read and participate on Probe/MX-6 Bulletin board ( http://www.probetalk.com ). I find that both the Contour and Probe forums have been very helpful to me. Nevertheless, I love both of my cars. Gotta go. The labrador retriever is calling me. Peace out.

I'm Jeff from Novi, MI. I'm 23, single, and work for Robert Bosch Corp (yes, the auto supplier). I design databases, websites and the like for new financial systems. I graduated from Oakland University in 1998 with a BS in business administration, majoring in finance.
I worked for AlliedSignal (makers of Fram/Autolite/Prestone, among others) in finance for 2 years, and it sucked hard. Now I make a lot more money and love my job.
I just bought a 2000 Silver SVT, but still own my 97 SE MTX that I bought new 3 years ago. It's for sale and is immaculate if anyone is interested -- best offer takes it -- must sell! (jbennett123@yahoo.com if interested).

What up Cdogs,
I'm working out doors in Santa Barbara, CA as a nurseryman (37). Yea, that's right I sell plants to people. All kind of plants to all kinds of people. One of the more interesting people being Jeff Bridges. Sold him some Cacti for his estate in Monticito. Very nice spread complete with seven car garge and ocean view. He was driving a white BMW 740. But no, on closer inspection, yea, I was mistaken he has a 750. Two other cars that were out were a 95 Chrysler Town and Country minivan and black 97 Suburban. I came to SB in 81 to attend UCSB. Graduated in 85 with a BS in EE. Been selling plants ever since. Long story but, bottom line I love what I do. I drive a 98.5 Spruce Green SE Sport with a five speed. I needed a manual transmission with my V6 and the Contour is a value that can't be beat. I'm stoked on this car. My two favorite things in SB are running (seven miles a shot running along the ocean five times a week, 365 days a year) and my church, Santa Barbara Community. I've been a believer most of my life. I also enjoy working in my garden, Bougainvillea's, Giant Bird of Paradise ect...If anybody is ever in the area you can crash on my hida bed in the den.
Peace,
Scott

This pain in the butt's name is James Tompkins and I live in Tulsa, OK. I'm 26 and work for this little bitty company called IBM. I'm a Web Server IT Specialist (dealing in LINUX and AIX), and cover quite a few aerospace, telecom, ISP, retail, and many other types of large accounts. Although the job more than pays the bills, I'm heading back to school for an MBA in a few years. I REALLY want that Vette or M3, but will probably end up funding most of my fiance's exotic travel habits...
Otherwise than climbing, racquetball, and lifting, I mainly lust after Tim's SVT, due to the SHEER amount of awesome mods he's got on his ride...man, I'll never catch up!

OK, Dan Nixon
I'm a 39 y/o physician/virologist (I study viruses & treat patients with infections) @ the Medical College of Virginia, Richmond. I have a lovely wife and daughter and we are expecting a son in Dec. Was REALLY into cars in my younger days (Triumph, Z car, Scirroco) but kinda gave it up in Med School/Residency etc. Well, I got this 99SVT and picked up were I left off. Would like a Y2K 320HP M3 but would rather put money away for the kids college tuition.

My name is Mister Mann. I'm 25, married 2 years, 2 cats, and work for Dellio! here in Austin, TEXAS. I am a sys admin/network admin/fix-and-know-everything admin. I've been doing computer crap for about 6 years. I have been told that I'm really a motorhead that knows a lot about computers If anybody has any spare cash laying around, you can put it in my PayPal account, too. I'm trying to build a house... (heheehehe) I drive my wife crazy with this "Contour stuff." She was sick of the car before we even picked it up from the dealership. We love our Contour so much that we might be getting an Escape soon. And, before you post something bad about the Escape, I say to you "WAAAAA" ------------------ Chris Hightower http://crush7.dyndns.org/

Hello all,
I am Tristen Fletcher, 32, married, father of twins. I manage a team of training consultants for Boston Universities Corporate Education Center. BUCEC Specializes in Information Technology training for both the IT pro as well as the career changer. I love antique boats, vintage Hot Rods, as well as the modern day Hot Rod(domestic or import). My E1 is just one of my toys. I am taking a different approach with my SVT, I have only really personalized it aesthetically. I am more into the do it yourself mods like carbon fiber components, custom emblems, custom fabricated short THROW shifter, etc. I am happy to share such an interest with so many other people. I admire those that are constantly looking to personalize their ride and make it a little different from the next. Please keep sharing any efforts to pioneer your own mods.
Thanks,
------------------

Hey! Mike Ballard here, I'm 25, single, and I only stay at home all the time and play Playstation (Gran Turismo, Colin McRae Rally, etc...) because I know chicks find that incredibly sexy...I work for NYCE Corporation (those of you in the Midwest may have seen the commercial with the two ladies driving around in a GTO saying... "nice!nice!nice!nice!nice!" and buying a whole bunch of crap with their ATM cards.) I am a systems analyst, essentially what I do is program ATMs(automated teller machines). Ask me how to get around those pesky surcharge fees!!! Um, there isn't one them. don't you think the midget inside the machine deserves the $1.50 tip? He works hard! I also excel writing painfully long posts on the CEG forum... I drive a 2000 Contour SVT, Silver Frost w/Midnight Blue interior. It's my baby; my reason for living, really. It makes me so incredibly happy. Anyway, I'm glad to be part of such a great group of people, it makes me proud to be a Contour owner!

My name is Martin Dix. I'm 27 (soon to be 28), single, and have a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology. I currently work for H&R Block as a District Tech Support Specialist and as a Tax School Instructor (what this has to do with Sociology is anyone's guess). I'm pretty much broke now but I'm glad I bought my '00 SE. It has been a great car! I live in Pelham, NC but was born and raised in Danville, VA (a scant five miles away).
My previous cars have been a 1968 Mustang 390 Fastback, a 1971 Ford Torino Cobra, 1983 Mustang GLX convertible, and a 1995 Dodge Intrepid (still don't know why I bought that one).

More than you wanted to know about me: I am 27, I recently relocated from Salem MA (my hometown) to Cranston, RI...I work for Citizens Bank as a Senior eCommerce Engineer. (For fellow geeks: I work on NT using all the MS back end stuff, doing a lot of data security, analysis/development, project mgmt, etc.) I must give credit due to Tristen Fletcher (fellow SVT owner/CEG guy) and his training program at Boston Univ. for making me such a nerd. When I am not working, sleeping, or washing my SVT I enjoy working out, running, hiking, etc. and fishing in my '86 Grady-White (25' Sailfish w/Twin Yamaha 200s) - and you think cars are a money-pit! I am single because I own a nice car and a boat and I have no plans to part with them. My 1 to 2 year car plan: I'm fixin' for an S4 or possibly a 'pre-owned' 540i. I'm also thinking of upgrading in the boat department, so I'll have to choose boat vs. car. As you can see I will be single for a long time. I did hear that there will be a turbo'd PT Cruiser soon...maybe that is the ticket for me, provided I can get the boost up so it will run 13's Note that there is no mention of Ford in my future because my SVT tells me that Quality is job #0. If I own another Ford it will most likely be older than I am and wearing an antique plate. Let me end my rant by saying that the best thing of being an SVT owner is being able to talk to fellow gearheads like you all. Well that and running through 4th gear to redline Andrew ------- 99 SVT black/tan - 15.4@91 k/n filter + mutilated factory air box removed resonator A6 side markers painted calipers shaved trunk lock + filled 1/4 panel seams tinted windows red under-dash light bulbs (sets the mood when trying to get some ass) ding in door (the 1st one, hurts the most) (ok I'll shut up now)
