I also noticed that there were no poll-takers that were over 60. Then it hit me... The stats are probably skewed a little because this poll is on the Internet. The older a person gets, the less likely they are to be on the Internet. Also this forum is an "enthusiasts" forum, which probably explains all of the SVTs. Although the stats are probably within reason (the car is sporty, therefore it tends to have younger buyers), I'll bet that there is a difference between taking the poll on the Internet and out there in the "real world" . 1996 Contour SE Sedan 4D (Royal Blue) Duratec V6 2.5L 24-valve DOHC Automatic 75,000 miles No Mods (unless you call the DMD a mod) Replaced EGR valve (gunked up), EVR (EGR VR), PCV valve, and evaporative emissions hose (cracked).
