Whew! That's almost a years worth of truck payments! 23, married, baby on the way...$612 a year. Sorry bud.

Welcome to the club!

Sorry about the quality, I took a picture of the original 35mm photos with my digital. :( Like I say...I have seen them fix worse, so...

I think my car is totaled. My wife and I were in an accident at 1:15PM today. We were rear ended while waiting for a woman to turn left by a man driving a Ford van doing at least 40-50MPH++(maybe more) who wasn't paying attention...I had a disposable camera in the glovebox(for just such an occasion) so pictures are coming soon. At this point I think we are going to be OK, but who knows...my wife is 16 weeks pregnant but the hospital says the baby is fine. We were both wearing seat belts(my wife said hers "popped off". Here is what happened: Cooke Road between Indianola and High St. has a series of hills that are very steep(there is even a sign with a truck on on incline, not sure of the actual angle and all). You can pick up a lot of speed going down those hills! I was at the bottom waiting for a woman in a 99 Taurus to turn left onto a side street. All the sudden I hear the car being hit, my glasses flew off my face. Next thing I know I'm looking at the roof. We never jerked forward at all, our seats went all the way back and broke!. Even though we were plowed into the Taurus the airbags didn't go off. I put the car in park and my wife and I jumped out. The car was smoking in the front, there was fluid near the back of the car so I got some on my finger and smelled it...it was coolant. We had been pushed about 10-15 feet forward. I looked into the car to check the damage...both front seats broke, my Pioneer faceplate had came off and landed in the console under the armrest !!!!! The faceplate case that was sitting next to the e-brake was now laying on the dash against the windshield! The brackets on the 60/40 split were bent(prolly because of my box, which was pushed forward and wedged between the child belt metal in the trunk. I pulled all the audio stuff out except for the box. As for the exterior...front plate bent, front bumper messed up a little, headlights and hood are fine, car was drivable enough to pull it off of main road but the coolant light was on . Trunk lid came up and will not shut(arms and lid bent), spoiler came detached on one side and is laying in the middle of the backglass, rear reflector broken, taillights broken, rear bumper is dented in and scratched(I can now see my muffler). I am still in shock!!! The guy vomited on himself after being hit with the airbag in his van. There isn't a lot of damage to his vehicle though(steel bumper). He works for a dry cleaning company and it was the company van. The cleaners insurance said they faxed the info to an adjuster and they will contact me withing 24-48 hours, or even Monday... I am not paying out of pocket for a rental(chasing reimbursement) so I am driving my Mom's car until I speak to the adjuster. The damamge is bad IMO, but I have seen them fix a lot worse. I'll keep you guys posted. If the car is totaled, I'm sorry to say it will be my first and last Contour(has nothing to do with the accident). I hope it is totaIed because it just wouldn't be the same. I do plan on sticking around here though. I may get a small SUV(like the Escape) because I have wanted one for a while. Not sure if I'll part the Contour out or not, depends on what they say. Anyways I wanted to let you guys know, like I said pics will be coming soon.

Welcome back!

Wow! That's a lot of miles! Mine: 2000 bought new in November '99 with 23 miles on it, nearing 4th year of ownership. Currently 63,xxx.

It has been decided that there will be a meet sometime next month at Speeds(indoor go kart race track, www.speeds.cc ), but when? Please post your date preferences here(Saturday/Sunday or specific date). There are booths next to the track to watch others race while you eat or if you do not care to race. There is also a bar, pool tables, video games, and a huge parking lot. Rain/Shine doesn't really apply for this meet since it will be indoors most of the time. I forget how much it was to race in a "heat"...I'm sure some of the guys that went last time will chime in.

I wanted to be there but I have to be home before the street lights come on! j/k. I might be able to do it this weekend. BTW, how is that speaker aznkid922?

I'll be there between 2-3PM. Rain stopped and it is drying up. I am going now to wash the car even though it may be dirty by the time I get there. :(

So who is still going? It is pouring down here.

Don't be a party pooper! LOL. If you do decide to go, what time are you rollin' out?

See you there! I'm bringing exact change! I don't want to be the guy that has the debit card...again!

So who is still planning on attending? Is dinner still in the plans? If so, where? href='http://www.1uptravel.com/cgi-bin/weather-forecast/hw3.cgi?config=&forecast=zandh&pands=tallmadge%2C+OH&Submit=GO' target='_blank'>Weather for Tallmadge, OH Let's get this thing rolling...

Next Friday as in the Friday coming up? I may be able to, no promises since the Summit meet is Saturday. Friday the 8th would work for me though.

Cool. I might be able to come hang out on a Fri. or Sat night. This Saturday we are meeting at Summit though.

Sorry, just got in...long day. Send me a PM and let me know the next time you are available. The speaker will be identical to yours. I am about 5 mins away from Polaris.

I am replacing my front door speakers soon, you are welcome to them(or just one). I can show you how to remove the door panel if you want. I live near Polaris.

It looks like the problems were not caused by the remote start system itself, but by a faulty installation. I have had my remote start for 2 years, it is just as safe as putting the key in and turning it(it even has a feature that prevents you from grinding the starter if you accidently try to start it regular). The only gripe I have it that I had to give up my spare key(to bypass PATS).

I'll be there for sure. Chris, where did you end up moving to? Call me.

Saturday August 2nd works for me.

You ugly! :photo :sick j/k

I'm up for any kind of meet at this point. Location? Saturdays preferred!

I've heard a lot of black Contours have this problem. Most refer to it as the result of elves with razor blades. Nothing short of a repaint will fix it, and you can bet Ford won't be picking up the tab.

Here are a few inexpensive(in my opinion) 5x7/6x8 drop ins(you may have to scroll down after clicking links): Infinity 5x7 $64.95 JBL 5x7 $68.95 Rockford Fosgate 5x7/6x8, 3 to choose from ...and my favorite budget drop ins: Planet Audio 5x7 plates (tweeter and 5 1/4") $39.95!!! I didn't even go all the way down the page and look at all of them. Good luck with your search!

Did you remember to: *Pop the cover for the handle off and remove the 2 screws? *Pop the small round cover behind the door handle off and remove screw? *Pop the round cover off near the map pocket and remove the screw? Let me know.
