BiGgUy1988's New Ride

Hi people.
I have finally bought my first ford after driving my 1990 corolla around for 2 and a 1/2 years.
I can't say that the corolla was a bad car (actually it was quite good) but driving a 4 cylinder hasn't fancy me lately.
I bought a White 1997 EL Fairmont for $6200 from a dealer (i think thats pretty good). It has 151,000 on the clock, and the yard did about a $1000 of work on the car before we bought it.
I'll get pictures of the car fairly soon to show you.
The only problem i found is that the brake lights stop working, but we think that either the brake switch may have died or when the yard have replaced the rotors and pads, they haven't pulled the brake cable off and it has stretched the brake cable, and we've also noticed that the connection going to the brake pedal is very loose, so maybe it just needs to be pushed on the pedal properly. Apart from that, the car is excellent.
I couldn't be happier to have bought this car and i must say, the wait was worth it.

(P.S. If anyone has any other theories why the brake lights stop working, plz let me know).
