Gator, how do you like the 4ws? It took me a while to get used to it..not that it wasn't effective - it just felt strange (at first).

hopefully an Alfa Romeo 156 if & when they make it to the US. Otherwise a used EVO VII or A4/A6 wagon. I plan on keeping my 'tique till it dies.

SAAB 9-3 SE or Viggen, early 90's Toyota MR-2
Midnight Red '95 Contour SE ATX Just completed the lighted moonroof switch mod. Its great! www.webcentrix.org/contour_se.html "The whole purpose of a car is not to go fast it's to get from point A to B, and if you can afford it, to get from point A to B with some sense of style." As seen on the Ricecop.com boards

BMW M3 or a C5 Corvette with the Lingenfelter Supercharger package
I love my Contour to death, but my 'vette is still my #1 baby.
There's money to be made in racing. I should know. I put a lot of it there.
You can make a small fortune in racing. Start with a large one.
How fast do you want to go...how much money do you have?
You can fix a lot of things, but you can't fix stupid!

Here's my list of Contour replacements in the event of an untimely death of my beloved 96 SE:
- Infiniti G35 6-speed (when it comes out later)
- Nissan Altima 3.5 SE
- Acura TL Type-S 6-speed
- VW Jetta turbo diesel
- 2000 Contour SVT used in nice condition
- BMW 330i Sport (perhaps used - a bit pricey new)
- Chevy Avalanche (I may need something to tow my boat if I move)
'96 Contour SE, black / opal grey, MTX, every option, KKM intake, resonator removed, Flowmaster Series 40 DeltaFlow, GoodYear Eagle HP's, 115k miles, new paint 7/01. Driven cross-country 4 times.
'70 Corvette Stingray Coupe, Cortez Silver, 454 bored to 462, Muncie M21, too many mods to list, lots of fun. 335 rwhp / 365 rwtq
'02 Corvette Z06, Electron Blue / Black, every option. Stock for now...

Either the new Lincoln LSE, or the Merc. Marauder! Gotta love that Merc. Marauder!! Maybe a Lightning though. The perfect replacement that I would never get for a CSVT would be some sorta 3-series.
GMAFB!

Be a little different, go for an older M5 (E34) 1993. 3.8 liters of straight six muscle, 340 hp (in Nurburgring package). They run around 20K Canadian. Or you could opt for a 1995 540i with sport package and 6-spd. They still give an honest 280hp and are a bit cheaper, and newer. Gotta love the older 5 series, very reliable and sporty.
I have always wanted one of those...If was able to execute my choices that would be #1....#2, if i could, a Renault R5 turbo, #3 Peugoet 206 6 spd., #4 a 6spd, Chevy Impala ( it can be done I think), and i think the stereo would sound good in it!!
He's chaaarging!!!...(add scottish accent)...
