I have two Contours..Both zetecs, a '95 & a '96..both mtx's..mine has 146,000 miles...the wife's 120,000..both still look great and are easily maintained...I figured with the money I saved over the years that I could afford a muscle car... so I just bought a 1999 gorgeous,low mileage mtx,'hugger'orange camaro SS convertible. Now all three of my favorite cars are no longer produced. I intend to get 'value' out of all of them.If I had the guts....I would add a stage 1 turbo to one of my contours but the high mileage may be too risky.

Don't get me wrong, I loved my car to death. Hell, I even shed a tear as she peeled off in the distance, but...... The chance for any real affordable aftermarket for our cars is next to zip. Thank God for Chris trying to get a turbo for us, but 4+ grand is not pocket change for most people! That is why I sold it. I know my new car does not have the boulevard pimp looks of the SVT, but slamming the gas down and hearing the turbo spool with 18lbs of boost is like a songbird in the morning! We all have to leave someting we love sometime in our lfe. I chose now

Lots of mods done.

Yeah..I go back and forth..but in the end you really can't the bang for buck in anything else for the same price.

Mine is staying, as long as we don't have another problem with it. (It's had a rough month and has lightened the family bank account a bit.) I've agreed with my parents: one more problem and it's outta here (as much as I don't want that to happen!)

I'm keepin' mine. Only had it for a few months anyway. I have a hard time getting rid of cars as you can see by my sig. The cuda was my first car. I bought it when it was a year and a half old. The only times I have ever lost a car were due to accidents (89 Escort GT & 70 Fiat 850), trade in ('69 Fiat 850 for '74 Fiat X1/9 & '82 Mercury LN2 for '86 Ranger GT) and ex-wives  ('74 X1/9 and '90 Escort GT). I need a bigger garage!  Karl
