Default I'm out -- it's been fun!

It's the post I always hate to make on a vehicle forum. I've traded in my Ram on an "old man" car (Lincoln Continental). It was a great 5 years but I just ran into some financial issues that required me to trade on a cheaper vehicle, even with only 3 payments left on the truck.

I may ebay the Superchips handheld and the LED tails were swapped for the stockers so I can give them to a friend who has a Ram.

They did like my truck a great deal. I always said an 03 with every possible option and 77k miles should get decent money and I got 10,500 for the trade.

Don't worry - the car isn't staying stock either. Another Superchips is on the way; that car packs the DOHC 4.6 Cobra engine No more towing but I did get 24 mpg on the way home. Thanks for all the fun times here!

Heh - I'll bet my credit score is single-digit. I was 90+ days over already and couldn't hold out anymore.

There's nothing wrong with a continental. I dunno if they are old man cars. They look like mafia cars! Anyways, sucks you lost the ram, but hey, a continental is MILES better than a sunfire!
