I HATE MY FREAKING CAR!!!!!!!!!!

I was driving home last night and the Check engine light was flashing on and off. The car lost power and and was missing. I pulled over and shut the car off. I call my friend to come flat bed it away. We took it to a local shop near me "I am under warrenty, but I have tons of mods so I wanted to figure out what it was" Some off the plugs and wires where bad. Plug #4 was totally gone and the cylinder had no compression. frown

Now I have to take all the mods out and get it towed to Ford to get looked at. I think the vavles for cly. #4 is shot. The head is going to have to come off. I only have 15,000 miles or so on the car. I am so pissed off....... Dam CAR!!!! mad mad

Contours are NOT made for drag racing on the Palisades ya know...

Plus you said you have tons of mods.

The Engine can only handle so much beating before something gives.

You can't blame EVERYTHING on the car.

Just don't take it back to BILL KOLB - PLEASE !!!
