Well after being at the dealership for only a few weeks, someone snatched my old Mystique..  I was kind of hoping it would sit on the lot for a year or so, or at least until I got enough money to buy it back and put it in storage. I found out that someone bought because my mechanic called me up and said someone had brought it in complaining about the CEL.  My guy told him they might need to get the ECU replaced, and failed to mention how many times I brought it in. At least I know who owns it now, and I will be able to keep track on what happens to it, because the new owner plans to use the same mechanic as me. Still, its sad to see my baby in the hands of anyone else...

In around a year Ill feel the same way.... Its hard to see someone else drive my car, Id imigine it will be 2X harder to see some kid driving it down the road... I expect a kid to buy it... 16 year old sees a 96 GL with SE skirts (soon), SVT rims a CTA intake, im sure they are going to want to nab it.

I have had three cars in the last year be sold. And see everyone of them everyday. The guy who bought my pimped out dakota lives down the street from me . The guy who bought my SVT lives on the next block, i see that punk ass everyday. And my 02 Regal I see everyday accross the street from my work. It's been pimped out, 18's, system, and he put the GS supercharger in it... stuff I wanted to do I'm sad now... where's my teddy bear..

Im probibly going to ask around 1700 for it... thats what I paid, and I figure with the work I did to it, and the extra parts should balance it out to what I bought it for a year ago.
