02 Mazda Protege5, absolutely love it. Best handling car I've driven.

Far sportier and as much utility (and 30+ mpg!) as my old 89 S10 Blazer, w/o that pesky quirk of flip-over-and-die that plagues so many SUV's..*cough* ford exploder *cough* :D

Hello,

Currently I own a 2000 Ford Contour SVT in Black with a Midnight blue interior (only color combo the black model comes in) and just over 30,000 miles.

However I would love to sell it for either something with more luxury and a better build quality, or something with more power like my old Mustang 5.0 but I cannot as the resale is awful...the Contour just seems rather "cheap" with regards to build (for example the rear doors are now sagging and they squeak like crazy when you open the doors, you can oil them all you like it is a known problem, passengers side door leaks, dash is warping, ebrake sticks constantly, seems like there are electrical problems also as my interior lights flicker when the passenger door is open)....

Oh well live and learn, next car will hopefully be something better....sometimes it doesn't pay to buy bang for your buck, or at least it didn't for me as this was supposed to be one of the best bang for the buck cars of its time.

I dig your bus, even if it is an LMT tainted with a GM motor ;) :p

I have a '98 Acura Integra GSR (to be traded in for an '04 WRX as soon as they come out the end of this month) and a '93 Toyota truck Extend Cab 4x4 V6.

<----another Nissan Fanboy

Nissan Sentra 2001....

one of these days when im no longer a student maybe i will be able to afford another nissan

i love the sentra though...drove it cross country without a single problem...drove it for 23 hours straight with almost no stopping...not a single problem

the only time i can see myself not buying a nissan would be if i buy a pickup, couldnt imagine getting a non-american pick-up...but i would only get that when i have enough for a 2nd car...just want it for hauling stuff


I'll post some awesome pics when i get a chance...gotta find a scanner though
