Well, considering it already has 105k on it... I'm already there. I plan on replacing parts and driving it until the doors fall off. When you figure that my interior door seams are rusting out already, that will probably be sooner then I'd like. At that point, I'll proabably break out the bondo and still drive it.
I'll probably be buying a sport-bike this spring, so that will be my "next car"... as far as after the Contour, my list goes like this:
Mazda 6
Volvo S40
Acura TSX
Toyota Tacoma.
We'll see how the finances look at the time, but I should be able to buy a decent, used Mazda 6 at that point for a good price.
