I just checked out the pics of Tim's car. That thing is supercharged?!?!?! I'll trade ya my SVT, it's a '99 with 44400 miles on it  . Anyway, I don't think I could part with such a machine for only $24k. Hey, are you guys (meaning redline motorsports) showing your cars at the Firestone on Woodward for the Dreamcruise? I remember seeing everything there last year, but I didn't get up close.

Hey, are you guys (meaning redline motorsports) showing your cars at the Firestone on Woodward for the Dreamcruise? I remember seeing everything there last year, but I didn't get up close.We will actualy be north of where we were last year. We will be parked in the burger kind parking lot all day Saturday. It is north of 13 mile road on the east side of woodward. Anyway, thanks for all the comments guys. The thing that pisses me off is that I just got the car to the point where I actually love driving it now. All the paint is pretty much fixed and the supercharger makes it a lot more fun to drive. So I sat down and thought about it and how I oculd easily get out of debt if I were to sell the car. Then I thought about how I probably never go this crazy on a car again. I still can't believe I did this to a contour in the first place but that is a totally different story. I ended up tellign the guy how I had a lot of time and effort from myself and family and friends invested into this car and how I basically couldn't see myself parting with the car anytime soon, at least, not for 24k. He asked me if I would consider it and I told him yeah but I relaly didnt think 24k would tlak me into selling it. He asked for a price and I told him $28k. He said we will talk some more but I highly doubt he will buy it. Either way, a year from now when I'm ready to get rid of it, I know I am going to be kicking myself int he a$$, but ohh well. If I do sell it int he future though, I think I am going to part it out and put it back to stock everything, icluding the paint. Thanks for all your opinions and complements guys, I really appreciate them all.
Tim
