It seems a bit ironic to know that this forum is for people who are looking to turn a wrench and make something unique and hopefully better than what they had, yet here we have two former owners come in and say how glad they are that they don't have to wrench anymore.
I have consistently had one of, if not the best running, highly modified contours out there when it comes to good driveability and reliability. Except in one circumstance, I've been able to just turn the key and go thrash on it as much as I want. All my tuning is done only with pump gas and all my dyno numbers posted reflect real world results that I will get driving on the street. The ONLY grief my car has ever given me was because I failed to do something I should have in either the planning or execution of the modifications I started. I know there are lemons out there from each model and when you get one of those the best thing is to get rid of it.

Pojay, I'm sorry to hear its gone but an S4 is a worthy replacement. I hope you keep us posted if you get the mod bug and start working on it.
