Due to some small misfortune with my F150 I actually had to take the contour out of winter storage and drive it,thankfully it didn't snow any more so I didn't bother to switch back to my winter rims.
Pics to follow tomorrow

Sorry to hear about that. I dread the thought of taking the SVT out in the winter.

I'm driving my svt right now, and as long as you take care of it, it should be no prob. I took the rims off and tires and put winter tires on and those ugly black rims, but I can't wait for spring to swap them back.

Well,I was sure the head gasket had gone on the F150 but it appears that thru some fluke the gas tank vent? which has an outlet behind the intake had froze up and that is were all my concern was coming from. The contour is happy and safe back in it's winter home now...resting+warm....waiting for a day when it's not -50C WITH THE FREAKING WIND CHILL RIGHT NOW....

NOPE-the contour is back safe and sound in the garage,waiting for early saturday morning for me to wash it again and then stick it back in until all the gravel is gone,I ate another stone chip in the F150 w/shield today practically destroying it by the time it finished cracking...
