The Escort up there is my top choice, but it’ll probably be gone by the time I get rid of mine.
Buuuut, with this new job, I can afford to spend more than I had originally expected. I’m just ready for the second Gambler 500 Southeast to come around.

Those first generation Quests were platform twins with the Mercury Villager, right?

Lol “runs only forward.” What’s the problem? That’s the way to live. Never look back. Keep moving forward.

And the Ford Windstar, I believe. But the Mercury shared virtually every part of the body with the Quest, while the Ford was styled differently.

I just looked into it a bit more because I used to have a 1st-gen Windstar and was pretty sure it was a puffed up Taurus while the Nissan/Mercury were their own thing. Looks like that is indeed the case - which is a good thing if you are looking at a Quest. Those old Windstars were absolute garbage. Easily the worst car I’ve ever owned.

I dunno if it’s in your budget or not but some SCCA friends of mine are selling their Probe GT. It was going to become their rallycross, autocross, trackday, and LeMons machine but they decided on another, more questionable vehicle (60s Dodge Polara 4-door that’s been sitting in the weed for decades). The asking price is $1250 but I heard they’ll let it go for $1000 because they want the Dodge so bad.

The paint is a mess but the bland tan interior is surprisingly intact. I helped get it brand new Toyo T1Rs last year. You’re going to have to learn how to drive stick because it’s a manual.

Oh yeah, the other Kyle told me about that. I’m super tempted, but at the same time I would prefer to keep the price under $750 or so.
