And for you.. SZ is right around the corner, and don't you already have a 3L? You've been talking about selling it for almost a year now. Get out there and drop the new motor in.

Trust me, I know where you are mentally ... I was soo close to just cutting my losses and selling the car, all my tools ... EVERYTHING! Step back, take a break from the car for a few days and clear your head. Then, come back to it and do the compression test. Based on the results, make a plan of attack and STICK TO IT! Be true to yourself and you won't look back in disgust

You da man! I'd put money that you could do it in under a week since you know the deadline is coming up. But hey, I just want to be sure that your car makes it down, so hold off if you have to. Okay, I'm done hijacking the thread.

Once school is out for me I will try my damndest to make sure his car gets down there. I know I make it sound like I am going to lead his project to glory, but hey...someone has to order the pizzas!

I'm at the same point as well now. Now that I'm getting the little things fixed here and there the love is re-kindled for the car. I just sucks ass in the wet/snow

I thought about selling my car too, when the 2.5L died. I'm glad I didn't.
Just say it with me now....Whoosa. Don't forget to rub your ears. Have some vodka with ice, and think about how nice the weather is or how good the drink is

whenever the thought enters my head i just remember all the owners that have sold their cars and want to get another, or have already bought another contour and i come back to earth. i think i will have this car for a very long time to come. i may have more cars to go with it but still keeping it around. it is just too much fun. i want to do a turbo someday as well.

I'm on my 3rd Contique. I have the opportunity to cash purchase a new or newer car next year, but have decided to keep the Mystique. No new car for me. I'll keep my money working for me for a few more years...
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
