Haha yeah practice toy.

I want paint the entire car, and probably gonna mess around with some other things that I don't want to screw up on my contour. the whole learn from experience thing.

On a down note, and a crappy way to end my weekend, This afternoon I had stopped my room mates house to show off the whip. I had started it to leave, but we started talking again and it was idling for about 5-10 minutes. I got in to leave but when I sat in the car it was smoking!!!

As of right now I got it the local garage, and we're pretty sure that the hose going to the heater core blew off, or the heater core itself just crapped. It smoked anti freeze everywhere because it was dripping onto the exhaust...I am, needless to say, kinda pissed. lol But its too cold in my garage and it was spraying way too much antifreeze for me to do anything but take it to the garage. Looks like the contour is still the winter driver for now.
 
I remember roger saying at one of our meets.... "The true definition of a winter beater is one that looks like utter crap but runs really good underneath"
 
Cost: 550 + tags, and now 170 for heater core! :mad: Damn chevy and plastic heater core hoses running into the core...

Those tires are 185/80/r13. Contours run 185 wide tires...at least some of them! haha They have a massive sidewall though. I could probably fall into a pot hole and bounce out.
