I realized just how much I love my car when my wife asked me if someone gave me 20k for my car to trade for an M3,would I do it. I really had to think about it. Anyone else probably would have said heck yeah. But I couldn't. I've had 6 cars and this is my 1st new one. There is a bond with your first new car thats just hard to break. She really makes me mad sometimes but I can not see trading her for anything. Kind of like your wife. When you're out w/o her all kinds of fine women may get your attention, but when you really think about it you know the best decision you ever made is still at home. Or in the garage. Or the driveway. Or... you know what I mean.

Yesterday I put over 100 miles on my little matchbox Festiva for work; when I got home first thing I did was jump in the 'Tour and go for a drive to unwind! Now today I took the 'Tour out for work; just got home after 110 miles and feel like going for another drive. I couldn't get the ride I get with the 'Tour if I paid ten times what I paid for it. I've got the new WP on, have had the tranny fluid changed, and my plans are to take the best care of this car and keep it until the wheels fall off one or the both of us!

I'm not selling my car. Its too expensive to buy another, besides there's nothing wrong with mine. Plus I'm having too much fun modding it.

son is keeping the 99 for awhile because it's running fine and the resale value isn't worth giving it away. He'll save for the next one and it'll will prob be a bimmer.

I'm keeping my car. Of course, keeping it, and keeping it stock are two different things. But then again, my car's not actually a Contour or Mystique. As you can read in my sig, I drive a big Eldorado.
Words of wisdom...
-I'm too old for this sh*t.
-Dirty jews have well laundered money.

I have my ultimate sights on a BMW 540is 6speed sedan (when i have family)
Other than that, I am looking at that new Ford 500, of IF IF IF IF Mercury gets the Mondeo....sign me up for that!
And what I will probably end up getting lol is an 93 Cobra/GT.
