I told a cop once that my car couldn't even go as fast as he said it was going.
Didn't work.
Hate those stupid 85 mph speedos. I can wrap the Tempo speedo well off the end of the scale... but what does it mean? Guesstimate puts it at 100.
Re: Chevette: don't blame the car because it had already been through hell and back by the time you got it.
Carlos:
CPU burnout must have been an Escort thing- none of my or my family's Fords have gone through a single CPU. However, I've had one or two ignition modules go on Tempos; they were a known weak spot.
Pa's got a ZX2 huh? And you have hills... he should be getting about 100 mpg right?
Volt tunnel: ahhhh, thanks, that explains the lack of a rear bench.
