OK, I attend the salvage auctions frequently and every once in a while there is a car that makes you take a step back and say HOLY S**T! This one is a 97 Contour Sport so I thought some of you would be interested. It's a 4 cylinder so you know it wasn't going 120MPH! I started going to the auctions 10 years ago and its really made we think twice about horsing around in a car. Real life isn't like the movies! When my son is old enough to drive he'll be going to the auctions with me to see the cars that never make it to the dismantlers because they're only good for scrap. This isn't the worse car I've seen by any means, but it's a Contour and this is a Contour forum.
