I guess it becomes harder to appreciate your car when NO ONE else does. It seems like when I tell someone about my car its like "A Contour???" I mean the other night some punk asked me if it was a real SVT and then he told me it had the same engine as his mom's Taurus (and no it wasn't an SHO either). I mean WTF? Let me tell you something...Telling somebody you have a Contour and nobody knows what your talking about it not bad. It's bad when you are talking to somebody who pretends to know something about cars and you say 1970 BUICK GSX....dead silence...what is that? Exactly. I know how you feel, but that what is so cool about it...you can come behind their well known car and rip the wheels off with... Be enthusiastic, it's the only way to go!!!

I'll always be able to spot a Contour or SVT from hundreds or feet away. I'll still appreciate Contours and SVT's. The only reason I'm selling mine is cuz I was able to get a car that I've been wanting for a few years now and the payments are easier on my wallet. I will miss my SVT when it's gone. A.

It will stay on the road until it dies or I get an SVT, whichever comes last. There's just no other car that has quite the right styling, agility and price.

I have never been more excited about my car and plan to keep it much much longer. I have done quite well for myself financially and was looking at buying a mustang gt, but now, seeing that with decent maintenance and care and a few mods I can really get a lot more performance out of this car for a lot less money has me excited. so far, no mods have been done to my car and everyone who drives it loves the performance I can wait to start going to work on it and really turn some heads. Everyone on this site has been incredibly helpful and it really is a valuable resource.
