WTF? Is this a service related thing? (nice run-on sentance eh? ) -Speed Demon- Matt Black 2000 Contour SE Sport (duratec/atx) got body mods? all show, better than stock go "I might be crazy, but I'm not stupid" speddmn.com

About the same price as a trip to the dealer. Hooks up to your home computer and will do a diagnostic etc. gleschu

(Well, OK, one mod.� Before I got rid of my previous car, a 1994 Tempo, I swapped radios.� I liked the Tempo's radio better.� That counts as a mod, doesn't it?� I also kept one of my Tempo's wheels to use as a spare.� I hate those stupid ?compact? spares that come with modern cars.� Does this count as a mod?� If so, I guess I have two mods.��Replaced burned/melted blower switch and connector on 19 February 2002 with a 1P3T toggle switch from Marvac and a Molex connector from Rat Shack; I guess this now makes three mods.)
