I really like this site. Recently while at a mall I was surrounded by at least eight contours of various years. Just wish I knew of a way to tell the owners of those cars about this site with like a sticker or something.
Moderators is there a way to access the mailing addresses of all of the contour owners out there for the purpose of sending them information about this website?
I am sure that this would increase membership to this site possibly increasing funds available needed to keep site running.
any ideas.

Most of the Contour owners I see are also eligible for AARP so they're probably not interested.

Sad to say, I've detemined that a lot of people view the Tour as just a car and that's it. A way to get from one point to another. They don't appreciate the marvelous piece of engineering machinery that it is. Especially my CSVT  Okay, so I'm a little biased?

Excuse me, little youngster, but I have an AARP card and an SCCA membership card in my wallet. We can still see over the steering wheel and find the clutch and brake pedals, you know (well, some of us, anyway).

Many reasons. My elderly neighbors recently got a '99 SE Sport because (a) they liked their old Topaz, and this was the next step up; (b) it's responsive, has a decent ride and easy to use controls (Hello BMW, listen up to that last one!); and (c) it's not a huge floatmobile. It can be parked into a parking space accidently crooked, and still won't scrape cars on both sides.

Yeah, and some of you can run over people at markets while confusing those pedals.
