General comments?
This car is awesome. Very little work required to keep operating. The engine is very good and reliable. I would still be driving this car, but it was involved in accidents. The first the rear quarter panel was damaged, then the rear right side, and the final was the front right side. The final accident severely damaged the car and the frame. Although the engine was almost sideways, it still started and ran as always. It really did better in all of its accidents then the other vehicles. The vehicles that was involved with were: a ford explorer, mercury cougar and a Chevy cavalier. I really do miss this car. This 3.3 v6 is a lot better of an engine then the 3.1 v6 in my new car. These century's are virtually indestructible and last forever and ever.
