I think the Tempo had to be the shittiest driving car ever made... they made the K Car feel like a world class touring sedan.

I ran a '92 Tempo in a demolition derby- after that it became an endurance race car. (Yes, after the derby). Could NOT kill that hateful little car.

The engine seized up after the 250 lap race (because the rad vanished pretty early in the game). The next morning when I scrapped the car, it started up like nothing ever happened. Those 2.3s were tough!


My mom had a 89 Tempo. Manual windows and power locks. Plus I seem to remember the strangler seatbelts. It was a shit car.

I forgot about strangler belts. We didn't get them in Canada... with the exception of Saturn shit. Always fun when you're hanging your head out the window to pull a car onto the alignment rack.

3.0L V6 in the Taurus/Sable were like that... Run for 20 minutes at full throttle with no coolant? No problem. Baja around a logging header with the oil pan smashed in? Don't make me laugh! Roll over six times down an embankment, baja through the trees and back on to the road to be driven 70 miles? We can do that. The 2.5L in the Taurus was just a punched out version of the 2.3L in the Tempo and do you know where that engine came from? Ford took the old 3.3L/200cid I6, lopped two cylinders off and added an aluminum cylinder head. TahDah!

the GM passive seat belts were a dumb design too... let's put the seatbelts in the doors that way if there is a massive side impact and the door opens, you can fly out of the car! (facepalm)
it seems like back then, everyone was trying to either delay airbags or get out of installing them in their cars.

there was a kid on this forum, the UER one, not the Car, that was a Tempo FANATIC. I insulted the car commenting on a picture in the UEDB and he went rabidly insane! (it was kind of fun). I wish I could remember where the picture series was... It was in Ontario somewhere, but that's all I remember. Ten years is a long time to be on a forum. As an aside, my brother owned a 92 or 93 Topaz and to be honest, it was a fucking piece of shit. The temperature would drop below 15F and it wouldn't start without pulling the spark plugs out. The front had parts that I am pretty sure were from a tinkertoy set. The automatic transmission was a spastic waste of aluminum and the seats were as comfortable as a park bench. This was not a great car for Ford and the Contour/Mystique (or Condom/Mistake) that replaced was just as bad if not worse.



I still laugh when they re-desined it in the 90s they forgot to do the 2 door, the 2 door retained the old body and the 4 door got the new body

Ford put the stranglers in the villager/nissan quest though...

I actually forgot those existed. I didn't remember them having stranglers (But I believe you!)... it's been minimum 12 years since I was in one.

Tempting. I really want a tiny convertible, preferably a Midget or a Sprite.
http://www.kijiji....avigationFlag=true

I have a customer with a '64 Sprite, it's true motoring perfection. I've driven thousands of Porsches, a few Ferraris, etc... and none of them made me as happy as that little drop top.

Badass... http://www.kijiji....avigationFlag=true

The 80s called, and I'm tempted to answer: http://www.kijiji....avigationFlag=true

If that '73 is actually a Sports Bug, it's worth some dough.

http://www.kijiji....avigationFlag=true - After seeing this car in person- whoever appraised it at $6500 is fucking stupid. I think this thing will explode into a mess of bondo and wood screws if it rains. It's a disaster. It's a rotted out scrapper that's been painted over in a hurry. The paint is already falling off and the bondo is puffing out violently.

http://www.kijiji....avigationFlag=true - I looked at this one. It's about 75% bondo. Hard to believe that's a 50 year old car though... sexy as hell. The aftermarket sunroof is not a good thing.

-If only it wasn't automatic.

...........aaksjhfas%$^@&223hfahsfkjasf That is all.

Looks pretty. Probably rotten.

"Has Porsche Rims". No. It has VW wheels, with VW hubcaps that have Porsche stickers on them, you fucks.

Something older and British. Nothing against the Metro. There are a few super tidy ones around her though.

I can see the personals ad now: "Cougar with a small, white object of passion. Seeks men who do not have the same."
