Yea, saw that your car was at BD for quite a while. Was thinking maybe the guy that owns the SVT won't miss that wing. :p I could paint it green and put it on Steph's car. LOL! I'm really sorry to hear that you had stuff stolen and damaged. frown I swear I didn't take anything!!

I've had a few Jetta's. Great cars but only if you have a five speed. The automatics are terrible.

I think at one time or another everyone at BD has been involved with fixing my Explorer. I don't even bother taking it in anymore because they can never find the problem. Paint problems, musty odor from the heat/AC, engine hesitation, and it won't start when it's hot out. And the list goes on... Car always runs great while they have it.

Don't know how the Mustang is coming along. I'll make sure to ask next time I go in.

John, Steph just has a plain ol' Contour. Working on getting her some wheels. Would like to put on a CAI kit with a new exhaust to give it a small boost. Found a wrecked Contour near Reading and wanna ask the guy if he'll sell me the wheels. She's only had her license for 6 months and isn't that great at parking (have driveway) so a used set is what I'm looking at right now. Anything bigger than the 14's that are on there now!

Looked at a 95 GL before we found this one. It had a terrible noise in the dash and the dealership wasn't willing to fix it. So we passed on that. She liked the style of the 98 better anyway. Not as loaded as the GL but it does the job. Already put in keyless entry w/alarm, a cd player, spoiler. The power window kit is next as are new speakers since she already blew one out. One thing at a time.

I've shown her the pictures on this list and she's starting to get ideas for her own car. At first she said "it's a Contour, a family sedan", now she wants to fix hers up.

Good luck with the SVT Brian! Happy moving John!
