I hate Ford, but when the Contour was released I was in LOVE!

I wasn't even as excited about the Focus as I was when I first saw a Contour. I was lucky enough to be working at a car lot when a couple came in and traded this beautiful black V6 Sport for a new '01 Maxima. The next day I tradedmy old Maxima in for- of course- the Contour!
There are lots of people who look at my car and say, "man that car is bad ass looking", even though it's essentially stock aesthetically.
