Yeah, $1000 won't be half of the cost of the Contour fix. frown My hope is that I can turn around and sell the Asspire for about $1300 or so (which is the actual book price), thereby making a little profit and taking advantage of the 40 mpg while I'm in this money bind.

You guys don't understand... it's gonna be awesome! laugh
