just got home a while ago from my 2ce monthly 300+ round trip to see mom...and was thinking of a post before i found this one.. it would have said something like 'i have the best dark blue 95 se atx with stock exhaust and tired suspension and tires with filter of anyone on the site'....love this car...its not the fastest but it does what i need it to do and very capably' so i'd say thats a 'yes' to this poll

I love this car! Since I got it in 2000 my enthusiasm hasn't gone down a bit. I just wish I had more money for mods and that I would of got a MTX.

I'm still loving my tour!When me new exhuast goes in next week,and my eom svt kit is done not counting the other stuff i'll have some good money in fun in her. I truly believe that some look at the tour,as fun for now and when it wears off it's gone,some may beat on em a little,and some like me get on em,baby it,and guard it with my life.Truth is something ever happened(God forbid)I could only find a used one,they are gone.Not many view the contour as we do,so that makes us special.If you watch speed channel and dennis gage(my classic car)we are in that group!We have a love for a particular automoble,it may not be rare or worth thousand's(?)but thats what car clubs are.I love my tour,I love showing it,shinning it,and meeting all of you. The tour is gone but we keep it alive!Thats my thoughts,hope not to corny.

Well, this is refreshing. Thanks for all the 'yes' votes. Its not that I was losing enthusiasm, its just that I thought that the luster was diminishing on this site. If someone came up to me and offered me a boat load of money for my car, I would turn them down. I don't own this car for any kind of financial reason, its purely emotional. The idea of selling my car would be like selling a pet. I'm keeing her forever. If she's dies, I'll fix her. Keep the votes coming.

I have had her 4 years as of today. Drove her off the lot with 15 miles on her; now I have 58,600. I still feel the same way when I sit in the driver's seat as I did on that day.

There are alot of people who come and go on CEG, but the site and it's purpose is still here. I've only been on here a year and a half maybe.

My SVT is a hunk o' burning love, My SVT is a great car, My SVT is all I want in a car, My SVT gives meaning to my life. My SVT is the best car I ever have had, My SVT is the benchmark of low priced sport sedans My SVT ....... ADDED for the SNOT-NOSE boy comment below: Ahhh yeah, that's why my S&L gave me a 7% refinance on $13,000.00 for my 'worthless' SVT... just this Spring (to get cash to pay off some 20% store cards) And VALUE, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, or loan holder, whatever.

I hate my car because it has now ruined me for getting most cars that are under 25K new because I can not stand the way they handle(all over the place) or dont like the way they accellerate (not at all) or cant stand the way they look. I hate my car so much that when this one dies of high mileage I might have to get a lightly used SVT because that will be the only thing in my price range that I will be able to see myself driving.
