We'll see how it goes...I have $3K in my pocket and until Monday night to decide, unless I can drive my mom's car after. I may check out a few minivans, but I am only 23! What would people say? j/k. Any way, reasons why the MP5 is appealing to me:

*The look(Cardomain even has some lowered with wheels... )

*The price. If I can't have a fully optioned 6 I don't want one. (Auto, moon, leather = $24-25K)

*Financing through Mazda Credit(Ford Credit's sister company). 4 years without a late payment to Ford Credit should count for something, eh?

*Handling

I am planning on looking at the ZX5(non-SVT) as well.

As far as stripping the Contour today(last remaining items), I removed:

K&N
Cup ashtray
EL Gauges
Alarm/remote start
Rubber antenna

Sorry to say I couldn't remove the SE sideskirts. I tried all I could, but the rivets were hard to break! I tried my best to break them off but no luck. Sorry guys.

The box/trunk pieces wouldn't come out either. The metal from the rear/trunk of the vehicle is bent over top of the floor, which was pushing up against the box. My dad and I put a lot of time into it so I wanted it back.
