Ha, a Crapalier. And for those who are ripping on the Contiques do not belong on these forums, sure I've had my fair share of problems, every car has that. Besides the gas, tires, oil changes, etc. I also had to get the timing belt/water pump replaced before the belt broke. Also I had to get a vacuum leak fixed (replaced 02 Censor, MAF, and Engine Coolant Temp. Censor also, vacuum leak messed up those and thru a CEL, in other words those parts were still good, (NOTE: DO NOT, listen to autozone when they read a CEL)) I've had 3 CELs on my Stique so far, and it was just censors going bad, regular car wear and tear.
Oh and mine is a 97 (got used in Sept. in 02) and has 70K, and I'm damned sure I could beat a Crapalier with a MTX, even if I do have a ATX.
I got a 4 Banger with a ATX and proud, don't care what anyone else thinks.
