Contique Update
I was a little worried about the braking in the Contique so I took her to be looked at by my lady mechanic. Melanie examined the brake pads. She said that they look like brand new! I think a lot of my problems are psychological with my car. I am not used to only driving my car once a month or every couple of weeks. Every time I start the car, I hear a squeal here and a rattle there that are probably just normal from not being run enough.

While I was at my lady mechanic I had her mount my front license plant holder. I bought my car in Indiana, and there were not even holes for a bracket. For the last 9 months I have just had my front plate laying on my dash. When I bought my tags I asked about the legality of this display technique. The official response of the SoS worker was “That is between you and the police officer.”

I have also found that Contique is an official term, although this is not why my Contour is named Contique.
