Well the Mercury Mistake is done and gone! Down the road and out of my hands! I sold the thing for a mere $700.00 to some one who thought it was the car of his dreams!
The check engine light was on and the stupid O/D light was flashing off and on but the car did run pretty well. The engine is absolutely without a doubt mechanically sound, it's the tranny I was worried about. The thing started off like a snail but once it reached 25mph or above it moved like a gazelle. Fortunately for me the car is currently smogged at the DMV so all the guy has to do is show up with the transfer fees (possibly insurance) and he has a perfectly legit ride.
Now I have enough money to get my Ranger out of impound on Thursday (11/08/07) and move on with my life.
