Murtaza - Even you've got to realize that it's a pretty far-fetched idea to think that anyone in this day & age of ID theft & e-scams & such would actually do such a thing .

I think that if you stick around long enough , you'll see that the people here (in the NorthEast forums , that is) are pretty straightforward , upfront , trustworthy , and VERY friendly people . I believe that you've just been caught offguard by their reactions to your off-the-wall request . Don't take it to heart . We all would like to see another Contour owner in the crowd & hope you can float the loan somehow . Maybe you could hit up more well-known friends or family to co-sign for you ?

I don't want this thread to get out of hand (and will be watching it closely) , so please don't pounce on Murtaza too badly . This is the only warning .
