Ditto and BTW Paul, I didn't know you had two kids. I was actually serious about the Regal, but that will be sometime till its for sale. I can see you in a Focus and I'm sure you'll be able to find a good ZX3 w/ MTX around 
Whoa, I don't, to my knowledge, have any kids---I think Todd was talking about Ben, as he was eyeing the headlights I recently purchased.
I called my Credit Union to see about a car loan, I should hear back from them by tomorrow. As much as I love the 'tour, its nine years old and I've been driving it for more than seven. Having something newer would be a nice change.
If I do get rid of the tour, yes, Alias and Ben, we would be able to make a deal on the parts you want. I would also try to get rid of the BFG tires I got in November that have all of 1500 miles on them.

I agree with roger, you can pick up a 2000 or 2001 ZX3 with low miles for dirt cheap, they drive ALOT like a contour, I drove one in drivers ed. I even got the tires to bark when the teacher wasnt looking  even with an ATX they are really fun. It would be well worth your time to look into one (I know I am going to when I start looking for something newer).... Then you can sell me that CTA intake at the next meet

Im sure he has ears, but when there are 7 or 8 cars on the driving range, its hard to tell who did it... and it wasnt a loud or hard one... Just really quick. BTW, thanks for giving me a hard time
