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 .
538 views and 4 replies . Is Brapple still around and Cobra ? I think they still have theirs .

I thought I saw Brapple post on the FB CEG page not too long ago and still has his.
Hi all. Yes I still have mine. Don't get driven as much as they use to. Pretty much stopped using Facebook as well.
I think most know I moved on from the Focus in 2023 with a new 2023 Mazda 3 Premium. I just recently picked up a 2025 Miata GT.
Been take care of my mother-in-laws 199 Miata 10AE as well. Planning to install a new timing belt (its original still) and it needs a radiator before it fails as well.

Hey Brian good to hear from you. Glad you still have the 'tours . They are looking good . Did you ever fix the dash warp ? I think the black svt had it . Mazda is a nice way to go if you cannot get Fords . The miata is slick looking . I cannot believe it's been on 25 headed to 26 yrs with my contour . I wish the site would pick up again but I don't think many 'tours survived .
