I see several other threads on here about non-Contour new rides so I thought I might as well post mine. Pictured below is my new baby that I brought home last Sunday. I still have my '98 Mystique, which runs just fine, but it has been demoted to the driveway. I think I had more comments at the two gas stations I stopped at on the way home Sunday than all the years I've owned my Mystique.
Right now she is mostly stock except for a Corsa cat-back exhaust - mainly for looks and a deeper sound, according to the previous owner. In a year or two I may do something like in the following photo.
