Default proud new owner

Hello I'm new to the forum as well. I just love this car. Quite an upgrade from my 2000 SVT Contour. Mine is stock for now. But I am thinking about buying a C.A.I. . I got it for a steal $14,500 w/32000 miles. These pics are from Autotrader. My own camera files are too large. I'm not that savy to know how to compress them.

Thanks, I'm looking to buy the same tires your running w/. Hows the tread wear? I had these on my contour and they stuck like glue. But they didn't last very long.

I really can't say much, because my daily driver is my '06 Impala SS. My project is a '97 F-150.


Regardless, nice upgrade from the SVT Contour. Welcome to the site. And by the way, nice deal on your SS. I got mine with 56835 miles for $12997.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I moved here In 96' from Sheilds,MI. I noticed a bunch of mid-Michigan folks here. The jobs moved south from there after Nafta passed. My Step-father retired from Saginaw steering gear in '98. Just in time eh? I came home to visit my father last year. Michigan sure isn't what I remember growing up in the 80's driving my 77' Camaro up and down bay road in Saginaw. Again Thanks for the kindness. Oh and yes the Ford sucked. My dash warped at about 40'000. It was quick tho. I had a G-tech pro reading of 14.3 @ 102 w/just a K&N drop in.

Welcome! If you are considering a cold air kit take a look at the CAI brand kit. Pretty nice and a little less expensive than K&N.
