This is my current car, and boy do I love it. I acquired it in late 2001, and have since put on about
15K kilometers. That's nothing =) The car runs like the wind, but it really shines in the handling
department. I am not a teenage boy racer, so this car stays well below hyperIllegal speeds, and
it doesn't have any "go-fast now, break it later" add-ons or modifications. I like to have my cars
stock, and maybe when something (like the exhaust) goes, I'll replace it with a higher-quality piece.
One thing this car is NOT good for is winter... scary stuff, man. Unfortunately, Ford
stopped making these cars in 1997, and replaced it with the Mercury Cougar. The Cougar was a nice car,
but it lacked the sleekness I liked about the Probe GT. The Cougar has also been discontinued by Ford.
On an interesting note, the Probe was created to replace the Mustang... but now we see that the Mustang
lives and the Probe is dead. In fact, the next generation Mustang may be built in the same factory as
the Probe once was.
