the reason i believe our cars dont get respect. they're called contour. not a very masculine name. sounds like ur talking about a bra, not a car. when i told my friends (back in highschool) i was getting a ford contour they all laughed and thought it was gonna be gay and girly. since driving in it. they all love it. and mine's not even an svt. even now, people stare at my car all the time. because its so rare im assuming. i also keep my cars in very good conditon and because they r so rare, people are always asking me if its brand new. i like that, but i have to agree that the zetec autos are pretty gay... especially in the 98+ body style. they look chunky and cheap and they always seem to be missing a wheel cover dont they? either way, contours dont make the best first impression, they gain respect very easily
