Well, Im proud of myself. I got a friend at work to get him a 98 'tour Sport with the moonroof, but the only drawback...its an AUTOMATIC!!! Ugh...oh well, at least he got a tour though. He decided he liked mine so much that he wanted to get one so he could get started fixin it up. His previous car was a 99 Taurus..but it ran like crap cause the owner before him didnt have any cares about fixing it. He had to have the transmission replaced 3 times already, and hes owned it a year. But now, hes one of us. I test drove it for him to make sure all ran well, and let me tell you...it purred so sweet. No problems that we could see whatsoever, and trust me, i can tell if theres a problem, lol. I hope i can get him to start joining in on the posts.

Too bad no other teenagers are into contours. Actually I have one friend that has offered to buy my car. I think just because he likes cars over his truck and mine is somewhat fun to drive.

The contour wasn't featured in either F&F movie,,, I think that's the deciding factor in many teenagers first car choice.
