That is very true. Before I bought this car I had looked under the hood and saw how jammed in everything was. But the price was right and it had been reasonably maintained even if it has high mileage. Little rust and that sold me.

In the "old days" a car was easy to repair and keep running until it rusted out. Today it ain't that easy as these new cars aren't designed for the repair-it-yourself crowd!

I think I'll go out and take another look at Mr. Contour.
