but think of it this way...drive your camry for 5 years... and sell it for 80% of what you bought it for if not more...
try that with a probe. the camry isn't meant to be a FUN car... it's a RELIABLE car... look at the MR2 or Supra for a fun car |

I definitely got my money's worth out of the Probe bought it second hand and I'd probably still keep it if an injector hadn't taken a dump and the rims didn't leak. It will be a tough act to follow since all it's asked up until recently was oil changes, a belt tensioner basic maintenance over it 13 years on the road. Still original rotors and clutch. May be a much ridiculed girls car but it's been a fun little reliable car. Think I might stop talking now because my lack of testosterone is showing in this thread |

You can set your man card on the table on the way out. BTW is your wife going to keep your balls in her purse or is she going to hang then from the bumper of her wagon?

Pauldun, your Probe is Ford's version of my MX6 AND some parts are interchangeable (hint hint ). I am so with you on the "personality" aspect of the Probe/MX6. I drive a beat up PRIMERED and PEELING 94, but prefer it over most newer cars out there, and there's an 05 Subaru Legacy GT sitting in the driveway with it. Maybe it's the age or body style that gives it personality...the fact you can FEEL it while your driving it...I dunno. My last car was a 94 Sentra E (same body style) and I loved it too.
You could part it out for a good chunk on MX6.com or Probeforum.com...just a thought...
