I get more people thinking it's a Taurus or an Escort than a Contour.
The best is driving by all the ricers in my town while they just stare and have no clue what it is.

I've gotten 4 cylinder Taurus once, and Tracer and Escort a few times here and there. And while driving down the road some passenger (kid probably 16-17) in a escort wagon, saw my contour.org stickers and yelled it's not a Contour. I ignored it and just went on my way if you know what I mean.

I feel your pain, a lot of my friends and random people don't realize that the mystique and the contour are the same freakin thing.

The largest cruise scene around here with hundreds of cars every weekend is called "The Pike" or Berline Turnpike. I pull into a parking lot lined with cars and everyone hanging out and as I pass by I hear everything about my car. Either talking to me directly or talking to someone next to them.
"Whoa, that's hot, what is it?"
"Is that turbo?"
"Wow, I've never actually seen one of these on the road"
"So this a V8 right?"
"Rear wheel drive right?"
Last time someone asked me if my car was turbo, I said "nope, don't need it" and drove away doing a LSD burnout.

I agree. It's like you can almost hear their "brain" saying, "What the h3ll was that?" I love the vacant look on their faces.

What I love is the fact that a lot of people underestimate the Contour. granted, I drive a zetec, but I still shock a few people with it.
