Just wanted to say thanks to all in a final post here. This is a wonderful site and the ardent support for the Contour and the SVT should make Ford take notice.
I traded the Tour today for a 20th Aniversiary Special Maxima. I was seriously close to a deal on an IS-300 but I figured if that's what I'm looking at I may as well keep the 'Tour. I guess the prospect of impending doom in my transmission or loss of oil pressure was a bit much. Also, I guess I'm a little tired of shifting for myself.
Anyway, thanks for the wonderful experience of sharing information about a serious sports sedan.
