Well here you go.

Gotta love mid-50s Lancia sports cars. Front engine small displacement V6. Slick manual 4-speed. Rear drive. Great styling. Beautiful. So this was introduced in Europe around the same time the original C1 'Vette was introduced. Styling is personal. I like both. But the mechanicals of the Lancia were far superior ... at least until the Chevy small block was introduced.

I'm weird, but that's a good looking car.

It's not weird, you're 'differently eyesighted'. I'm right there with ya.

1999 Ford Contour SVT:

This isn't mine, but it looks just like mine. I'm second owner, 90K miles. I bought mine with 9K on the clock when it was four months old. Pristine. I love this car. (Mine has a Nurburgring sticker on the right taillight. It's my badge of honor. I did 3 laps in '99). Did I say I love this car?

Picture unrelated.

Bury me like a fighter pilot.

First generation Contours looked far better than the second generation.

I was always really interested in the contour, but when I started looking at them on CL a few years ago, almost every one needed a wiring harness replacement. Apparently, the insulation wasn't stable and would break down. 

Thanks for posting yours. Such cool cars.

Impressive, and surprisingly difficult.

Um, or, so I've heard . . .

Also the perfect donut.  Sweetwater's Chocolate Cloud.

Nice! 5L, right? I've never seen even a one tank average that high on my '13 EB. But I don't mind.

Supposedly the newer EB get REALLY good mileage highway.

this one is a 5L but my next will be the small EB, the company has made that change across the board.

Edit: 18.1 lifetime seems pretty good for what it is

I've heard that about the wiring as well. But so far I've been OK with mine, except for a glitch with the directional signal stalk. But that could be unrelated to the harness. Did I say I love this car?

Pic totally unrelated. I found this cute little rodent in a deep sleep on my patio. Deep sleep. I tried, but couldn't wake him. But he looked very comfortable.

I found this very interesting. (The late Dave Shelburne).

After seeing the pics, please read this. (The original sketch is original. The photo is "created"). It's fascinating. This guy was a genius. RIP Dave:
