But I needed the storage room, so I borrowed it. Ain't our 95 SE's sweet! Dana 95 Electric Red SE V6 ATX 90 Olds Custom Cruiser 90 Ford Festiva

Its great! www.webcentrix.org/contour_se.html "The whole purpose of a car is not to go fast it's to get from point A to B, and if you can afford it, to get from point A to B with some sense of style." As seen on the Ricecop.com boards

Over the years, I have completely dumped prety much all of my money, time, and everything else into that car making it an absolute beast (see sig. for details). Back in 95... one of my buddies got a Contour SE V6 5-Speed (before I had the Stang) and I absolutely fell in love with that car. I almost ended up with one instead of the Stang. Glad I didn't though, because now I have both! I have a 98' SE V6 5-Speed that I absolutely love! It is one of the only other cars that I truely enjoy to drive even compared to most other higher dollar sports cars. I am really glad that I got the Tour'... only problem is that I have a MAJOR bite from the performance bug, and I sometimes wish that I didn't have a car that I could play with so much :rolleyes: So far, I've had the car for a week and I have done ALL kinds of stuff from fixes, tricks, exhaust, shifter... all of the fun stuff... I don't need another car to sink my money into!! I love that car though... a true joy to drive, let me tell you. VERY underrated car. Don WA2FAST http://wa2fast.stangnet.com

I don't own one but have driven one and I couldn't tell the difference ... but now that I've upgraded the suspension on the SVT it's just moved up another notch on the fun factor scale. I've driven an '00 Nissan Maxima and a WRX and none of those gave me the OVERALL pleasure and sensation my car does. And you know what, with every mod I do, I like the car better ... I'm LOVIN' this car and keepin' it as long as I can. There may be quicker cars out there and on the way, but the whole package just makes me do this soo often.
