Well, the Mystique is gone. I finally got tired of fighting with the CEL's and waiting for something else to go wrong.
When you put 80 miles a day on a car, it's hard, and it's time was up.
After putting a new Tranny and A/C in it, and now with exhaust problems, I felt I needed something that would get me to work and back...
So now I have a new, 2005, Toyota Matrix XR.
It's lots of fun to drive. I will miss the 'stique, and you guys have tought me more about new engine technology than I could ever imagine!
Thanx.
Zaph.

Geez! What's with all the harshness from people today???
What happened to the 'Stique? I have a youngster that is in need of a car, & I might be able to resurrect it.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

My guess is that he'll get it, even if you don't.

Traded it in. Central Florida Toyota is the proud new owner.  Harshness? From me? I was sad to leave it on the lot... Then I hit some corners to work out the pain...

Have my towel, my guide, my Babel Fish, and my Sub-Etha Thumb.

The thing I miss the most about my 'stique: The fact that it was such an awesome ride when most people laughed at it.
The thing I miss the least about my 'stique: The damn cupholder.

All is needed to find the meaning of life with some help from a Ford.
