hi my name is matthew ryan, just turned 25 years old and im a radiology major here in south carolina. previously enjoyed mostly v8 rwd cars but have really come to love my 98 svt contour. so far ive added 17" wheels, springs, kkm, short-throw shifter, and a few stereo mods. i have 40 weekly hours of clinicals for two more years @ zero pay left to complete, so this car has been real blessing considering fuel economy and upkeep. hope to add a few more mods over time but for the most part i am very pleased with the performance of the car. in my spare time, i work part-time in sports televison production to help pay for school, enjoy boxing (amateur cruiser wt), working on friends cars (mostly fords), and working out. have really enjoyed the CEG fourm and all the information provided here
