For those that are left from the once infamous New England chapter who still has a Contour or even checks the forums . It’s obvious I still have mine but hope to get some responses.

Hey NECEG peeps who still has a Contour ?
- Thread starter skunk
- Start date
Off hand I can think of eight - yours, hmouta, BrApple, cobra, aircougar (in storage), and three guys who hang out on the FB group (two in NH and one in MA). We also have a few long term CEGers in this thread, not sure if they still own?
I'm down to 1 car for the foreseeable future, and that's OK.

I still have my SVT but it is on deaths bed because of rust. My son drives it and absolutely loves it. I recently purchased a clean 99 Mystique with 29k miles. I was thinking of hacking it and cutting out the whole rocker section or swapping over the drivetrain and other parts from the contour but I don't think it is feasible. I really wish I could save mine but the rust is so bad. I swapped over some SVT wheels I have with snow tires to the Mystique and it looks so much better. I will probably be selling the Mystique soon and maybe the SVT as a parts car not sure yet on that one. I need more enclosed storage. I wish I could find another green one. So many people comment on it all the time.

I still drive a 1995 GL 2.0/ATX in Wisconsin with 181,000 miles. No rust because I regularly oil the under carriage. It ran perfectly until Monday when I blew the original water pump in town. Suddenly there was steam everywhere and it had been squealing on and off for some time but I assumed a serpentine belt pulley. I will attempt fixing it myself. Car shifts perfectly and doesn't burn oil. It's a nice comfortable car. First time it's broken down since I bought it in 2003.
Nice Mystique . Rare find these days .
