My first new car was a ‘00 Contour SVT. Very cool car at the time. The interior was a special midnight blue a lot like am blue. New it looked cool, but on a bright day with the doors open it turned purple and kinda looked… un-masculine.
I also owned a '96 Contour SE (technically the wife's car). From back in the days when Ford made cars, and with a manual transmission no less (the most rubbery-feeling shifter I've ever used, but still)! Really fun car overall. First car I owned with ABS, traction control, etc. as well. It was fun to drive that car up north and let the electronic systems fight each other. Hit "resume" on cruise control, see what happened as the car accelerated needed to engage traction control. It was also governed at something like 115 mph, though.Learned to drive manual on a '96 contour. Loved that V6. Sweet little sport sedan hardly anyone knew about.
