Awesome list there. Looks like I'll be searching for an '88-89, because I cannot stand door mounted seat belts. The Probe had them and I cursed every time.

I have been neglecting my fuel log due to waiting a long time between fills. Finally started a log in a little book that I'll keep in the car. My recent tank from Ithaca, MI to Flint, MI netted 40.6mpg with snow tires, a passenger and cargo.

Yesterday I came home, went out to my car to get the fuel receipts out and found out someone had gotten into it (I had forgotten to lock the door), stolen the ECU, cut the zip ties (lol) holding the ignition to the steering column, and popped the hood. Due to my light bar they couldn't get their fat fingers in and open the hood, so it stayed popped.

If you're reading this, theif, you're a freaking idiot.

I sourced a new ECU and in a few hours moved the car to a different location.

EDIT: Yes, I did get a police officer out there and made an official report. Apparently there have been a lot of break-ins lately.
