Don't forget, folks, that Spring Zing was originally conceived of back in ... hmm, was it '98?
...Regardless, it was a "Come one, come all, run what ya brung" event for car enthusiasts of all sorts, with all sorts of cars.
What originally brought the core group together was a group of mostly Contour owners, but the Contours at the time only served as a catalyst for the gathering.
In contrast, the Contour National Meet(s) were intended as a primarily Contour-centric meet.
While I wasn't the first member of the CEG, I do go back quite a ways. I haven't owned a Contour in years - I bought my '96 SE new in 1996, and sold it in 2002 - but I still have people in the Contour group that I am proud to call my friends, and I will definitely be there.
The Contours won't last forever, but I'd like to think that we could all get together, regardless, and 'run what we brung'.
Pinkyzxtuner, if you do get to the meet, swing by and say hi. I'll have the blue & gold STi.
Todd, you can swing by and say hi too, of course, but we already know each other.
