What do you drive? (A poll)

Just curious... is anyone here a pure troll - that is, someone who has never owned a Contiquondeougar? How many people don't currently have a Contiquondeoougar?

I'd have to say my primary vehcle right now is my '99 Explorer - mainly used for camping trips & to take kayaks places, and commute to work when it's bad/cold weather. Otherwise I cycle to work.

Fianc�?©'s primary is the 'stique.
The SVT is to replace the Mystique later this year after we get married.

Past vehicle was a '95 Contour - First car so before that I drove my parents '94 Caravan

SVT is my only car right now till I get a beater.

Previous car was a 93 Honda Civic EX coupe, until it was stolen and stripped of all mods. Before that I used to own a 98 Kia Sephia, and before that a Mustang 5.0.

So I guess I've had a little of every world.

74 Capri, 69 Beetle, 71 Super Beetle, Yamaha Riva 180, 89 CRX Si, 96 Contour SE.

That engine is awesome. If I needed a small SUV I'd buy the Jeep just for the CRD.

I like it alot more than I thought I would.

An '89 Aerostar...that car was something else!

88 Cavalier z24, 86 Taurus (rolled cavalier), 93 Taurus, 93 Lumina z34 (fast lemon), 2k CSVT

Would still LOVE a 95 SHO, but I imagine finding parts is becoming quite difficult.

My first car was a 1981 Ford Fairmont with an inline 6. My parents sold it for $100 when i bought my Contour after hs graduation in 2002. I paid off my SE last month and will retain it as my DD, but I will be picking up a 98 CSVT for a summer ride shortly.

Had a 1999 Integra and a 1989 Integra before that.

When I first got my license I drove all kinds of new fords(dad worked for Ford so he got demos)and I drove my moms mustang.Then I started buying my own cars

My third car under my name is a 2000 Maxima SE, Nov 2005 - present. (see sig for pics). Bank holds the title currently.

I've owned three different cars while in college

1995 ford ranger splash, bought it brand spanking new. After 9 years and 180,000 miles sold it and bought the csvt.

98 Cadillac Deville, and the 98 tour. The cadillac is sexy but and its getting about 22 mpg now, but gas cost too much so the Tour is coming off the bench

I've fallen madly in love with the CSVT, and I'm looking for one.
However...

I currently own a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500
and the 1994 Shadow in my sig

My first and only car is my SVT Contour. It's racking up the miles and the trans is starting to mess up and now I'm thinking about selling it or something. Most likely I'll keep it but its always at the back of my mind.

My past DD's from from first to current (1988-2006):
1968 Mustang fastback (390), 1978 Ford Fairmont Futura Sport Coupe(302), 1971 Torino Cobra (351), 1983 Mustang GLX (3.8V6), 1994 Chrysler Concorde (3.3V6), 1995 Dodge Intrepid (3.5V6), 2000 Ford Contour (2.5V6).

Current DD: 1998 CSVT
Wife's DD: 2000 Mystique LS v6 ATX

My prior car: 1992 Lumina Z34 5-sp (black, and yes, very rare)

Before that: 1988 Mustang LX 5.0 5-sp (medium blue)

Before that: 1982 Dodge Charger 2.2 4-sp (black with gold decals)

Before that: 1977 Mercury Comet w/inline 6 cyl & ATX (first car, full "Grabber" package including grabber orange paint, black racing stripe down the side with that cool reflecting tape, and a hood scoop... sharp looking car)

Tour is my first car

I voted svt as it will eventually be my primary car. Right now I'm driving my escort.

I have a 99 Cougar which is a show car and my daily is a 98 SVT..

You sorta threw me for a loop there as both cars were listed on your poll LOL

I voted the SVT Contour as its my daily and the other car gets about 1000 miles or less a year.

I like ur 2003 version i believe page 3.

According to the poll, I seem to be out of the ordinary in that my SVT is not my primary car. I used to drive it to and from work, but now she's been promoted to weekend only use, or special occasions. It makes it easier to keep it clean, and less mechanical headaches as well. The DD is a 92 exploder. Damn thing is bulletproof.

dd contour 00 svt, girlfriend 97 zetec contour and midly modded 96 neon

previous cars before the tour was 96 ls powered integra,before that was 98 eclipse gst middly modded,97 eagle talon tsi,94 honda civic w/b16,93 ford probe and lastly 89 probe yes all these cars in the past 5 years.

I think you should get a special prize for using "Chevy Lumina" and "pride and joy" in the same sentence (extraneous punctuation notwithstanding.)

Thanks...not that there's nothing wrong with the Contour
She was a great car, never had any issues, & was always outstanding at the track ( 11.78 in 1/4 Mile was my best time )

& At meets, we always use to blow those weak honda civics off the road.( our meets were in Indy, where there's a big civic club, )those were great times.

only car is my girlfriends car 99 se sport. as my sig states.. witha few mods done that are not on the list.
