This site has been worth its weight in gold to me. Everytime I have a problem with my car whats the first thing that pops in my head? Let some of the guys in the problems forum help me. 99% of the time I have gotten the help I was looking for. I do understand where lance is coming from though. What about all of the businesses that sell/service contiques. I would think some of them would look at buying the site and keeping it running. So much business is brought their way through contour.org This really is sad though...how are we going to be able to keep with with developments in the new turbo kit? And things like that. Truly sad.

Hope you can streamline to a few critical forum areas...
1) Performance mods
2) Problems
3) General mods? If the forums ever do make it back, I'd like to see Group Buys return with it. It seems like CEG is responsible for at least half of the aftermarket products available. Other than that, Lance, thanks for making this site in the first place. I never would of got my car if I hadn't stumbled upon this site and did some research. Enjoy the time away from having to babysit everyone that made this site a headache. But I hope you put the site back up for those of us who use it as it was meant to be used.

I would have to say that I saw this wretched day coming. I use the site every single day as a resource and a friend. When I purchased my car I had no idea its potention and have since transformed her into a beautiful being. One thing is for certain... I love CEG and all of its members and I can not help but get emotional thinking of its departure. Terry, Chris H, Thank you for all you have done and the people you helped. There is many others I can not mention. Sway ...You are my bestest Pal on the furoms ..thank you =o) Oh man ... Thank you everybody and I wish you all good luck in the future and to your Ford Contours, Mercury Cougars, Escort zx2's and Mercury Mystiques. So long and God Bless Daniel Jay Tressler ContourConcepts, Ohio Chapter Caraudioconcepts@hotmail.com Ford Contour Online

just want to echo some thoughts: Lance, it certainly is a big, scratchy, uncomfortable pill to swallow but your position is definitely understandable, so thanks again, you've helped out a whole lot of people. It's tough to see it go. I can't imagine where I would be with this car if hadn't been for this site and its members...not to mention how much more $$$ (or less when it comes to mods  ) I would have spent. My last smiley:

Thanks a million Lance. Hope the sour taste in your mouth from contour.org goes away quickly. Look forward to whatever you decide to do with the site.
