My parents gave my a 95 mystique zetec to get back and forth to work/school with. Drove it about a year (the zetec is bulletproof) and during my first summer with the car I started getting interested in mods. Searched for contour/mystique on google...and found contour.org. I watched more than I posted at first, but for a few weeks I kept asking myself, WTF is this "SVT" they keep talking about!?!? Finally I saw a pic of one, and at that moment I knew it was going to be mine one day. I lusted after oen for the rest of that year. I finally got a good paying job, and so after many 60+ hour weeks I put down enough money to go get my own car. I will admit I started looking at 94 ish camaro's, preferrably an SS. But practicality was an issue, as well as insurance. After a few days I was back after an SVT. I looked at 2 from private sellers, t-red (yummy!) but I could not get a loan from anywhere to take them off their hands...so I had just about given up when I saw a 2000 T-RED at a dealer (back in june) and he wanted 20k for it! I put up one last autotrader search, and found my baby in denville NJ. Silver/Blue w/50k miles. I took a ride, and right then and there I told the man I was going to buy this car. A week later I was heading home with a giant smile on my face. Still there....
