lmfao. Yea, probably but I can just put the dang front bumper on and eliminate enough of the drag to get somewhere. It'll be like driving an old chevy caprice minus the extra four cylinders and a ton of extra weight.

I beg to differ. I bet my car (right not) is the lightest of the bunch. My car is without the front bumper, the front fenders, headlights, turn signals, grille, radiator, a/c condensor, heatsheild (sp?), fans and hood. Oh yea, no airbags either. I wonder if I can break into the 17's now..... lmfao. Oh wait, you said contour. Dammit.
Ok, lightest legal to drive contique then if you want to be technical, and I'd like to see how long your car runs without a radiator. I have no a/c system at all, among other things.

You know, I was going to add: "but its not street legal"...
But knowing being street legal makes no difference due to street racing being illegal & all, & it would run long enough for a 1/4 mi. run, which is legal (I'm sure there is a class that would let him run bolting the bumper on, although he'd need fenders too  )...technically speaking, of course
Who cares...

i dont think he was talking about street racing
kremet probably has the lightest contour that he can drive on the road all the way to the track, and race it there, without breaking any laws

I'm sure he wasn't, my point was who cares if its "street legal"...? It can't be raced on the streets anyway...(this is all a joke, note the above smileys)
I also believe he has the lightest, he just seemed a little irritated or somewhat threatened w/ the lighthearted comments...I'm sure his comments were even "lighter", but due to the lack of smileys, I was inclined to think otherwise...its all good

You mean time for me to party while I'm at work till about 1am tonite. 
My comments are always probably lighter than you realize,, I was just saying I drive my car everyday... Somebody else could easily make their car lighter than mine (another zetec owner anyways) as the atx isn't as light as a mtx. Though some people like air conditioning, back seat, and all that other useless stuff.

I was trying to be lighthearted with my comment. It was just a joke and who says it has to have lights when it's daylight outside. I can just put some.... HEY!! I bet I'll have the coldest running engine once I get my radiator on! All that wind. I'll put like a big funnel in front of the air intake! Now thats air ram! lmfao! Least I'm taking one of the worst things to happen to me pretty light... I miss my car...

All reason I need heat in my car is for defrost when it's cold. Weather is just weather, I can deal with heat or cold without gettin my panties in a bunch. Obsidian, I'm sorry that happened to your car, atleast you're taking it well though and atleast it still runs. Russell, how come you don't get mad at me much anymore, I miss that, please be mean to me.  Just kidding, you're a good kid.  HAHAHA, When are we gonna have the riciest contour contest, I bet I could win.... Happy New Year.

Just a little too much info.
The scary part is they're probably yellow too
