ina nutshell... it sucks, but it was cheap enough for me to buy and runs pretty decent (except for the water pump taking a vacation on me driving back from Tampa)... and it is...
95 Ford Probe SE :cover:
have no fear, I will not be putting any more money into this car unless I absolutely have too. it's just something to hold me over until I can afford to get a real car.

first car: 93 240sx se october 92-may 98 115, 000 miles
2nd car: 98 2 door accord may 98- may 01 40,000 miles
3rd car: 01 cougar may 01-march 04 39,000?? miles (cant remember, first sign of old age)
4th car: 04 rx8 march 04-?? 17,000 miles
i have a pattern of keeping cars less and less...but after getting rid of the 240 i said i never should have (best car i had and was paid for in cash so never should have started car payments till i HAD to). the RX8 is the 240 with more power...so maybe i will keep it a while. first car that hasnt made me miss the 240.
as for midlife crisis: if i am having one at 33....what is going to happen when i hit the real one at 40? (maybe the M3 and a custom OCC chopper!!)
