New Car!!

I've been having more and more troubles with the Lincoln lately, and finally decided it was time to just give up on it.

My friend had this car for sale for REAL cheap. So I did what any good man would do and saved it from the hands of a woman driver lol. It's got a newish "Ford Renewal" (whatever that means) engine in it. It runs REAL nice, and according to everyone who owns one of these cars gets upwards of 30 mpg, which would be simply amazing!



It has a 2.0L automatic, a drag c/o of .31, quite good If i may say so myself. Weighs around 2600 lbs. My first modifications after establishing a baseline will be an underbody, and then rear wheel well covers.

It's got a few little problems, It was involved in a rollover before I purchased it, so there is broken glass EVERYWHERE. The roll over also ripped the fiberglass part of the roof up a little, definetly hurting the aerodynamics. When it was upside down, the battery fell into the hood, and shorted out welding a battery tab to the hood as well as burning the paint off in that spot, and spraying a bit of battery acid under the bonnet.

Just thought i would share my excitement of the new more efficient vehicle!
