Okay, I've been having a lot of trouble with people bagging on our cars lately. It's happened three times in the past month, and each time I have had to jump to the defense of the Contique!
1. Last month when my uncle, his friend and I were leaving Kansas Speedway after the IRL race we were trapped in an endless sea of cars and drunk people. While trying to merge into a line of cars a Contour pulled in front of us and just SAT there for like 20 mins! My uncle said "C'mon, make them FEAR that Ford!" His friend then said "Dude, it's a Contour! No one's going to fear that thing! HAHAHHAHH!"
2. While on this very site at my in-laws house, my father in-law walked by and said "Are all the Contour enthusiasts senior citizens? HAHAHAHHAH!"
3. And at work last week, when a customer brought a '98 GL Contour in for a detail the receptionist sent the car to an Acura/BMW/Jaguar dealer to be cleaned. One of my co-workers made the comment "I can't believe she sent that car to BMW to be detailed... it's just a freakin Contour!"
(This same person was very quiet after I smoked him in his modded Protege5.)
Anyway, I don't mind these comments. After all, part of the charm of this car is that it's a sleeper. No one expects the 4-door Ford to come through and impress like it does! Anyone else have similar stories?
