I am so sorry to hear that - believe me I can relate. I have had so many mishaps happen to my Cougar...but be thankful that you are alright. It could have been worse. Have fun finding an SUV

I feel your pain. I just recently got another cougar. If you really loved the car just get another one. It may not be the same but its still a good car that you liked. Anyways my car didn't even give me a last ride i hit a pine tree head on and it totalled it. Is your contour a SVT or regulara i have a friend looking for an SVT engin and he can't have mine. Well good luck whatever you decide. As i say to myself and my friends all the time i guess were just going to have to start driving more carefully. Good luck and be well. Thank god that your alive to drive another day

rikki: I am so sorry to hear that!!! I know you loved that car, and put alot of work into it to get it as nice as it was. I think you should try to find an SVT, personally. After driving the 'tour I dont think anything else would drive the same. Here is a picture I took of you while you were in the sound comp at the show in mccomb. I might still have the high-res version if you want it.
May she rest in peace *moment of silence* |

get an SVT! trust me. no other car will drive like these do for the money, guaranteed. After driving the 'tour an SUV would just be blasphemous. Try and get whatever mods you can back, the intake would fit nicely on your shiny new SVT...

i already got my intake off my car along with all my stereo i have not been able to get back to the car to get my underdrive pulleys and my indiglos are superglued in all my neon tubes got busted and i guess the superchip will have to stay in it-----so the only things i will be able to reuse are the intake and the pulleys but the svt i am currently looking at already has all the mods mine had except the vinyl strip on the windshield and the trunk reflector covered body color but i already have the tools to complete both of those mods my goal is to get one that i don't have to do much to
