About 7 years ago I saw a CAR for sale in my home town. My parents and I were out to go something to eat and we passed this silver car for sale on the side of the road. I demanded that we turn around and go look at it, so we did. When I got out, I was unaware of what exactly it was but was in total awe! It was a 99 SVT Contour with tint, 17" rims, lowered and with an exhaust. I immediately fell in love with these cars. Now at this time I knew there was absolutely no way I'd afford that car being very young and still in high school. So I walked away from it and said to my father, "I will own an SVT contour one day, mark my words." 5 or so years later I graduate high school and land a pretty decent job. I realized that my 1990 Camaro RS just wouldn't cut it anymore for the 50+ mile round trip to work everyday. So I began shopping and immediately looking for SVT's. Despite the hard road picking one out, I finally found the right one. I met my Dad at work and the salesmen drove it out for the test drive. After the test drive we came back agreed on a price and I picked it up later that week.
I remember seeing another SVT at a local shop and upon checking it out it had a big bubbly www . contour . org in blue on the back bumper. I didnt really think much of it becuase I was totally unaware of the whole forum/ online carr communities. Later, I randomly see a CEG'er named (aliasjerk) as I'm passing through his home town. We talk very breifly and he says, "hey, get on contour.org." I've been a fuggin addict ever since!!!
