larry: I LOVE those Chevy IIs!!!! *jealous* I'd love to get one now, even though I'm pretty much "car saturated" at this point.

Sentra: I thought I was the free car king, but you have me beat!

I got the Coupe ('92 Tempo) free, but I gave the guy a case of beer just because. I got the blue Tempo off Freecycle- pretty amazing find! The gal just wanted her garage space for something else. I still can't figure out why she opted to freecycle it instead of sell it... but I'm not complaining!

Tempos must be the "most given away for free" cars! My theory is, older folks had them and they held up so well that instead of being scrapped when the folks stopped driving, they gave them to grandkids as first cars. Then all these 16 year olds with their free hand-me-down Tempos flocked to the Tempo Topaz website (Yes, there is such a thing) wanting to put turbos and/or V8s in them so that they didn't feel inadequate compared to the rich Honda driving kids, thus loading up the site with really, really stupid threads.
