Alright.. I will try this without the censor.. or need for one..
- You are on a CONTOUR enthusiast group.. Bashing these cars is not something smart to do on this site.
- If you JUST bought it because it was cheap, and late model, then the old saying: "you get what you pay for" comes to mind... just because something is cheap doesn't mean that it will be of any use, or reliable in the least... however, just because YOURS isn't great, doesn't mean that anyone else's can't be.. You are knocking the "granny car" choice, yet you bought one?
- If it makes noises, you might try asking what to do to FIX those noises... maybe there MIGHT be one or two members on here who have devoted a little time to learning these cars, and could help you to alleviate these problems..
- For future reference, the humor on this site is what you would refer to as "out there" and it can offend many people easily, but if you do so choose to stay around long enough to get used to us, I am sure that you would catch on, and learn the ins and outs of your car while you are at it. Maybe you could leave here knowing a little more than you know now... that is always a good thing to do, as a person.
- Try to refrain from taking such an aggresive attitude, much like the two posters after you did. That was uncalled for, and I am sure that they can see that, too.. (I am on THAT team, and I am calling it like I see it, still.. much like anyone else here will..)
- Ease up on the mindset that this isn't a good car.. this is a WORLD CLASS car, built from handling heritage, and it is hard, even by TODAY'S standards to find a car that will handle as well as these cars. Safety ratings are top notch, and reliability is a phrase that is hand in hand with maintenance.. as with any car.
We love to help... just get offended when our time to help is thwarted so absently as to say "I could care less".. if you cared less, you wouldn't be asking for help, now would you?
So.. let's start over.. and say.. Welcome to CEG.. I hope that you learn alot while you are here... Search most of your questions, before posting, and I am sure that you will get whatever answers you are wanting without having to wait for someone to answer them again.
Again... enjoy your car!
