I don't think I have ever seen a Contour version of the "you might be a redneck if..." etc... but I just thought I'd throw a few out there. Feel free to add as you please! :)


You might be a CEG'er (Contique owner) if....


- if your oil never goes BELOW the TOP of the "normal" zone on the dipstick!

- if you know what the heck "hightowering" is

- if you hate alternators

- if you know how to "fix an IMRC box" or even if you know what it is and does!

- if you did the foglight mod the first day you bought your car

- if 11 mods of your car are "optimizing" this and that!

- if you have polluted the streets with chunks of the diff and trans fluid

- if you shift from 2nd to 4th

- if it takes you an entire day to install headers!

- if you kept the peices from your shattered waterpump impellar! :D

- if you have those 1000 dolla circle things that you put in your headlights, thats crazy!

- if you drive 10 hours for a 1 hour EGL CEG meet for lunch at Tony Packos!

- if your have parts from 15+ other members on your car

- if your wheels have been on at least 5 other CEG'ers cars!

- if you part out your car for more than you bought if for 2 years earlier!

- if you have bought something from stazi

- if you have seen too much of elky

- if you hate and love steeda

- if you think tourige overstayed his welcome

- if you know who the mexican is

- if you get compliments on your taurus! "i've never seen one like that before"

- if your coolant light is on because your coolant IS NOT OVERFILLED ENOUGH! Needs more coolant!

- if you keep your rpms low on sweeping right hand turns

- if you have spun a bearing doing the opposite of the above!

- if you have a taurus motor in your duratech contour with an escape oil pan, a focus shift tower, a zetec final drive ratio, and a cougar shift knob! :D Gotta mix the cars to get the perfect combo!

- if you have really bad gear roll over noise!



That is all for now... I just pulled those off the top of my head and I would love to hear yours! Hope this isn't a repost!

hahahaha, its funny because I can identify with like 95% of the stuff up there.
 
Brapple had the Year 2000 version of "You might be a Contour Enthusiast" in his AIM profile, several years back. I might have it saved on my other PC..
 
Found it ... I saved this ~2002 so some are quite dated...


You know you're a CEG'er if ....

1. You can't fill up with gas without opening your trunk.
2. When thirsty, you drive around trying to find a place that still sells 12 oz. cans that actually fit in you're cupholder.
3. You take the offramps at excessive speeds hoping that some idiot in a Pontiac will follow you trying to do the same.
4. After blowing up an engine or two, you learn to take only the left hand offramps at excessive speeds.
5. You can't help but snicker whenever someone mentions that his/her SUV is "fun to drive".
6. You would consider paying 30K for a new Jag BECAUSE of its Mondeo/Contour heritage.
7. You spend more time on the internet than you do working
8. You look forward to your next Check Engine Light so you can whip out your scan tool again...
9. You've wallpapered an entire room of your house with Owner Notification letters from Ford...
10. You've been known to drive with the radio OFF!
11. You drive with minmal amounts of items in the dash cubby hole because you know that wheelhop will throw whatever it is under the driver's seat.
12. You shudder every time you start the car past 30,000 miles and you know the water pump hasn't been changed.
13. You learn to fear stock appearing silver '98+ SE's, because you know there's one out there hiding a 3 liter under it's hood...
13.5 ...or stock-ish looking GL's with a turbo
14. You know what the letters E0 and E1 mean, and that there's a difference.
15. Chris Hightower's name comes up in daily conversation.
16. You have an endless supply of pipe plugs with various size holes drilled in them in your garage.
17. You petitioned for the "dash pad recall" notice date from ford to be declared an official holiday
18. The scariest race you're involved in lately is between your sagging waistline, and your svt's sagging rear bumper
19. You glance at the temp guage more than the speedo because you fear impending water-pump failure.
20. For some odd reason, you have a desire to meet with other people that own a similar sedan so you can 'cruise'.
21. You spend more money on detailing items than people that drive more exotic and expensive vehicles.
22. Your regular passengers know how to shut the doors w/out leaving greasy fingerprints

... if you truly can tell the difference between a Contour and a Mystique, and a 1996 and 1997 model.
... you know how to change a cabin air filter.

... you know that Ford makes cars in Europe.
 
its actually pretty funny when you see how many things do apply to you:laugh:
 
its uncanny to think of these things as not really being normal for other people, but they aren't! too weird!
