Randomness that you serious contour enthusiasts might like to know is that I was watching a television show the other night called "Hot Pursuit" or something like that about police chases, and part of it was the effect on the officer. They talked about "tunnel vision" that the officer gets when the adrenaline, etc. kicks in and how they blur out all other things and just focus on the fleeing car, and they showed a simulation of tunnel vision, and it was a "police car" and a "fleeing" contour that it focused on. Random fact, I know, but the 'tour was on getting some more press.

If any of you saw the jack ass movie they totaled a 98+ ford contour which was looking nice until they demolished it. It was sad and funny at the same time.

I was watching Horsepower on Spike TV last week on the Marathon Mondays. In one episode they were showing how to find leaks in the weather stripping of your doors and they were using a T-Red 'Tour. Sweet.

About two or so years ago I saw a commercial on the tube about how you shouldn't buy drugs because sometimes the money from drugs deals goes to terrorists. The voiceover was like: "drug money goes to help terrorists buy weapons.....supplies.....cars....." and right then they showed a gorgeous post-98 stique that looked exactly like mine!!!!

It sux that they totaled a Contour to make some stupid movie. I thought I saw one for a second in the trailers for Jackass. I hate Hollywood!!!!!!!!!!

I was off from work that day (Monday), because I was sick, when that was on and was able to see that too!

The CDW27 is alive and well people, we just have to give it the boost it needs. Just look at all the cars that have come after our platform, that have borrowed from it.

Chevy just thinks it has a revolution on its hands... All the while, Ford started one way back in 94 and didn't even know it!!

I saw that episode also.

Maybe Ford will see some of these and bring back the Contiques! Gone but not forgotten.

Never made fun of the car but Kramer crashed it into a poll while looking at a woman who was wearing a bra as a top.
