This is one of my daily, or should I say, nightly reads. I didn't know what I was buying when I got the Contour, I was shopping for an Escort sedan and was sold up by the salesman, he said V6 and more standard stuff. That it had a V6 was enough for me to test drive a few. I didn't know about the trim levels, didn't know what an SVT was other than it was more than we wanted spend, and wound up with the SE Sport because my wife liked the color. It wasn't until I found this site while searching the web for tires, found the Tire Rack and a post about the bad Firestone Firehawk GTA's and a pitch for contour.org and "The best kept automotive secret from Detroit", or something to that effect, that I knew that I had purchased something different made here in the USA. That was almost two years after I got the car. This site made me a car enthusiast, cars had been all about getting from point A to point B, now I have fun doing that. I haven't done any mods other than wheels and tires, but now I know more them in two+years than I had before because of this site. I will do what I can to help this site live on.
BTW, I am having my second set of Firestone SZ 50 EP's mounted on my car today.
