So, the first & only V-8, rear wheel drive Contour, no matter how good it looks, should not be in the callender if it 'appears' to be relatively stock? A car like that is un-worthy??
I'm taking my marbles & going home.

By the way, I'm not upset about your point of view or voicing it, just throwing out a opposing point of view for consideration.
My view is that the pictures should look cool - not just the cars. Who wants to see another average picture of a modded SVT next to a blank wall on the side of a 7-11 building? Get some artistic inspiration & snap a different angle, include some facinating lighting, or eye-catching color. Be creative.
