Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General Death of CEG?????????????

People are going to come and go. I've only been on here 7 months, but I luv it. Everyone has different schedules and time and money constraints which prevents us from having the meets we'd of course love to have, with everyone there. But CEG is still strong, here's what we did in SE Michigan today:

I just purchased a 98 contour (love it) and discovered CEG.
My comment is LONG LIVE CEG!!!! We all share an interest in the Contour family autos and should all stick together!!

CEG die? What kind of talk is that? Been around 5 years. Many more to come.

NAT MEET IS NOT DEAD!!! It will be smaller in scale...and still a BLAST!!!

talking about redneck backyards..... i think my contour's goal is to be in one asap. the front as of now consists of my 96 contour (with blankets shut in the doors to keep the rain out, can't roll up windows due to short), and my mom's 85 olds 88 royale that i'm currently driving (hey, this big ugly olds 307 with the 7004r tranny chirps the tires). i even got it to powerbrake for about 1 second in front of a store...lol...

that reminds me of a trip i took to florida with my dad in february, my dad and uncle (he lives in florida) were drunk, and my dad rented a 2003 towncar for us, so i was designated driver, they wanted to know if the car had balls, so i checked by trying to powerbrake it, and the backend moved, so i switched off the traction control and it really lit up those tires at a car show we checked out in kissimmee, we were outside a family restaurant, i could just picture that: a brand new lincoln burnin up the tires....... oh man.... that was fun.....

oh and another thing i notice, i know that i know more than the average person about cars, not saying i'm a genious, far from it, but i notice that cars like hondas... most of the poeple that want them don't know much about cars.

plus another thing, i can pick up a lot more chicks in my stock teal contour than any stock (non si... like maybe a dx or so....) civic. chicks dig my tour, maybe it's the color, maybe the styling, but they dig it, they all want one. it goes to show that this was at least car that has style to it, it's not all plain jane rental car like maybe a malibu. contours will remain, especially the svt ones. my next car (depending on how the air force treats me) is a black or red svt. no doubt about it. i love how the svt looks. contours are (fairly) cheap cars that handle great, everyone that has driven my car loves how the steering immediatly centers itself after a turn.

little things (not counting svts) like that will keep contiques alive....

I think people are just getting frustrated in certain sections because they cant get anything together and when they try, everyone bails. Things change and people get busy, but in no way do I think this place will ever die. After the summer is over, things will calm down a bit.. my two .02.

1BADTOUR: Remember this pic: we had a good turnout this summer and that is not even half of our chapter. I think we are growin strong!

I've noticed a down swing, but compare this site to some other vehicle enthusiast sites. This site is still bigger than most and I think it's got life left. I still come here even though I don't have the svt anymore, albeit to argue most of the time, lol.
