All I was really looking for was a decent sedan that had a floor shifter (wasn't even considering standards at the time; I just didn't want a column shift!). Long story short .. found a 2000 T-red Contour SE at a Ford dealership but the salesman was treating my dad and I like dirt, so we left although I liked the car. Went to another nearby Ford dealership, and saw a 1998 T-red Contour SE. This one had the V6 engine, about half the miles, keyless entry (a BIG deal), alloys, and was about a grand cheaper than the other. My dad worked it down another thousand and we left with the car on March 3, 2001. Mom found a website called
www.contour.org ... I registered and made a post something about the fuel pump (was to be replaced under warranty) and how the headlights were crappy.

A few months down the road, I was looking at an old jounal I used to keep and noticed an entry I had made way back in eighth grade, expressing desire for a 1996 Ford Contour (namely because I liked the style of the taillights). Destiny, I suppose
