Contour & G35 I've enjoyed being a part of CEG since the American List-Serv days. Ray McNairy and Nick DiNatale found me lurking on the Car and Driver Contour chat board, and with their encouragement I've been here ever since. What a cast of characters that have been here. Before there was CBM, there was Marwan Accary (anyone remember him!!!). Anyway, it's been a pleasure. The 'tour has found a good home and has plenty of miles ahead of it. The G35 still has a ways to go on break in. However, the ghost of the SVT decided to stick around (the G threw a CEL within 2 weeks!). I'll still lurk around here. Think I'll buy my next car based on the web support that's out there - the G35 sites have a ways to go to catch up to CEG. Enjoy.

Cool Blue Mystique ... can you imagine that was two years ago now ... </reminisce> You certainly got a good portion on your life out of Contours. Glad to see you're entering troll status with a still appreciative stance on the Contour and congrats on the G35! Long live the CEL!

The dealer in Raleigh had to locate the car 400 miles away. The only option I wanted (and didn't get) was the Bose, but oh well - it's still a great car regardless... The '05's have been slightly restyled (and bumped up in price), and the 6MT's won't be produced again til December. The timing was right for the jump with the discount financing on the '04s. I'm happy. Jim H 95 Midnight Blue SE (Sold) 98.5 Silver Frost E1 (Sold) '04 G35 6MT Sedan (Sold) '01 Aurora 4.0

Perhaps the SVT was trying to tell us that the G35 is a worthy successor to the 'Tour? Erie though... Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
