One very easy solution to the steeply sloped windshield problem is
to get something known as a "glass clip" -- an aluminum bracket bent
at a 45 degree angle, with adhesive on one side and suction cups on
the other.  You stick the adhesive part on the top of your Escort, near
the "back" (away from the meter end) and then use the suction cups to
hang it on your windshield.  

I bought one for $22 and love it.  It is adjustable, so you can use it
in just about any car.  It keeps the Escort up off of the dash, so it
works pretty well.  It is shock-mounted, so you don't have to worry
about rattling it off when you're driving through town.  And best of
all, it pulls off in 2 seconds, leaving *no* traces what so ever.  

You can get one from Speedmark, Inc, of Cambridge, MA.  If you don't
live in the Boston area, they have an 800 number you can call to place
orders using your favorite credit card.  I don't have the number here,
but 800-information will give it to you if you tell them you want
Speedmark on Alewife Brook Parkway in Cambridge.  Locals can send me mail
for directions/more comments.
