Uhhmm.. no. This site is made & populated by people interested in one particular model of Ford. Most of us don't really care about the F-150 or Crown Vic, and for those who do, there are plenty of forums for those and pretty much every other model.
However it would be nice if there were a general Ford site that was any good.. GM has two very nice forums (gminsidenews.com, cheersandgears.com), it would be nice if there was a Ford equivalent.

I drove my Pacific Green 1995 GL off of the lot a little over 10 years ago as well. Two years and a half years later, I traded it in on a 96 SE in Cabernet Red. I had well over 130K miles on it.
How do you guys manage to drive so little? I have had my 2000 SE Sport since Sept 11th, 2002 and I have 123K now. It had 47K when I bought it.

I'm assuming you have another one besides the 98 Black SVT  otherwise your calculator needs new batteries. 
And Lance, thank you very much to the contributions you've made and helped make to the world of the Ford Contour. This site and it's members have helped me immensely through the past 2 years. Props to you, man, and to us.

i think goonz is going by his build date which for one of the first 98's,late 96 sounds about right for his build date...

I thought you could only call it a 1998 model if it was built after Jan 1, 1997.

Now Goonz has to scan in his SVT certificate to prove it to you guys.  His SVT is #9 (yes, one of the first ones built), and was indeed built on Nov. 11, 1996.
