Well since the Thunderbird caught fire last Friday at work, I needed a ride, since its going to take some time to fix it. So Saturday morning I broke down and decided I would once again take on a car payment. I bought an 2003 Durango SXT from Billco Motors in Wexford. It has 38k on the odometer, and I got it for a decent price. It was $12,999. Sucks having a payment again, but what are you going to do. This gives me time to rip the T-Bird down and do what I’ve been wanting to do to it since I bought it, but I couldn’t get into anything too time consuming because I had to make sure it was on the road Monday morning for work. Anyways…here are a few pics I took. ![http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y230/euphoria717/IMG_0025.jpg](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y230/euphoria717/IMG_0025.jpg) ![http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y230/euphoria717/IMG_0024.jpg](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y230/euphoria717/IMG_0024.jpg) ![http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y230/euphoria717/IMG_0023.jpg](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y230/euphoria717/IMG_0023.jpg) ![http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y230/euphoria717/IMG_0022.jpg](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y230/euphoria717/IMG_0022.jpg) It has the 4.7L V8, towing package, factory running boards, and dark gray interior. Its pretty sharp…i miss the Thunderchicken though ---

There was an O2 sensor wire that was laying on the exhaust and it caught fire, then the fire traveled up into the engine compartment. I ran inside work and grabbed a fire extinguisher and got the fire out, but the car will not run anymore. I peeled all the charred wires off the exhaust, and tried to fix it, but it still wont run, just keeps cranking. ---

Actually, its been getting between 14-18mpg, I ordered a chip, throttle body spacer and a K&N Intake, so we’ll see if that bumps it up any. Im used to crappy gas mileage though, the t-bird only gets between 13-15 mpg, it does good on the highway, but everyday driving is a killer. ---
