Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Pics and Videos What was your first car???

when i was 16 my dad taught me to drive on a 91 taurus wagon, had the 3.0 vulcan

well the sensor that turns the fans on failed, while in HORRIBLE traffic, car overheats, ran like crap after that, probably warped the heads



then i drove my moms 99 escort for a while, till she traded it in for her 99 blazer fullsize

so then my dad bought me a 91 buick skylark(i was 17 then) , 4 cyl, was SOOOO SLOW

i drove that for a while, beat the hell out of it, needed like 1K of work to get it to pass inspection! this is about a week after i graduated HS. my dad refuses to get the car fixed, we go and buy my contour, i spent alot of my grad money and the parents helped with the rest.

drove the tour for over a year, then garaged it to do a 3L swap, drove the blazer for 3 months.

tour is reborn with a 3L, and just last week i got my beater, 87 bronco 2 with a blown head gasket, for free!

im working on the bronco now
