Well it's not exactly a new car, but I bought 98 Ford Contour SVT. Now I can keep the bird parked for weekends only. I have been havinging to rely on it as a daily driver for a few months now, not what i wanted to do. I was originally going to sell my little Acura or trade it in on the Contour but I decided to give it to my mom. I know it's a Ford but that SVT is a sweet car and for $3,400 I couldn't pass it up. The book value is $5,700, so I don't think I got hurt. I am picking it up tomorrow. I will post a pic of it then.

You ain't kidding. Right now I have 3 bad 02 sensors on the T/A. Gas mileage is about 15MPG right now. I usually get 22-26. I figure the Contour should get around 26-30, I hope. It is the SVT model so it at least has some power, 210hp out of a 2.5L V6.
