My Lincoln Continental came into my family's life two months ago. It is old, a lot of the fancy features are broken or hard to use, it smells like smoke, it is rusty, and it is an all around eyesore. Despite its problems, it came into our lives at the right time for the right price and it does everything we need it to do.

Elegant and smooth as silk
I absolutely loved this car. It was chocolate brown with brown interior. Everything was just "better" than any car I had ever owned. I bought it in California, drove it to New York and then back to Chicago. It just seemed to fly along the freeway. I kept it in drive most of the time. I have had other cars that had the drive feature, but they did not seem as reliable and consistent as the Continental. I actually named my car Ramone because it seemed to have its own personality. The upkeep was amazingly easy and cost no more than any of the less expensive cars I had previously owned. The electric windows worked perfectly in the heat of the desert when we drove through it, and in the 10 below zero Chicago winter. I also noticed immediately that the dials were better lit and a little larger and easier to read during night driving. That was really a plus for me, since I do a lot of driving after dark. Also, the engine was very soft and quiet - according to my mother it sounded more like a panther purring than a "mechanical" thing. Also, the way the driver's seat could be adjusted was outstanding (I don't know about the other seats because NO ONE but me ever drove Ramone).
