I don't have any regrets as i have only owned/driven 4 cars to date:
1984 Buick Century Ltd (blew motor 2 months after getting it...it was rusted out and i got it free)
1981 Ford Fairmont (Had ~80k original miles but the body was rusted and the I-6 leaked oil bad. I bought a parts car for $25 and made $400 off it on Ebay and then sold my Fairmont for $100. I saw it two weeks later and then never again)
And then my two Contours. When i was looking for an SVT last fall/winter/spring, there was a 2000 black CSVT that i found. Had low miles, nice pearl blue stripe painted on fresh black paint, but had a salvage title and SE grille. I ALMOST bought it, but my intuition told me to wait...as much as i wanted that car!! A month later i found my silver one and now i have a FULLY documented CSVT Sometimes patience is a virtue, but occasionally i look back on the one pic i took of the black car and kinda wish i woulda gotten it anyways.

A Contour is not just a car, it's an experience 99 T-Red SE Zetec ATX Born April 16, 1999 98 E0 Silver Frost CSVT #3175/3565 Born August 21st, 1997 Stored at P.R.T. for the winter 67 Mustang 289 project car
