92 Mercury Topaz (AKA The Spaz) Reply #30 – February 23, 2009, 10:54:16 AM Seems like everyone had V8 power.I had 8V power. (Valve)92 Mercury Spaz. 2.3L 3spd automatic. Porno Red on Porno Red. Jiggled like jello at stoplights. It had less than 100 hp and to move away from the stoplight with any gusto you had to turn off the AC. Quote Selected

Came factory with a 3.8l, the only option being power windows. Now its got a 5.0 out of an 87 thunderbird, finally ready to put her back on the road. One leak after another, she is finally ready to get inspected and be driven, I'm so excited. :) Quote Selected

Wouldn't want one as a daily driver, but it would make one helluva woods beater. My mother's old (new at the time) Nissan Micra would go places no sane person would ever drive a car unless it was his mother's (I used to drive it UNDER logging road gates). I can't imagine adding 4WD to the mix...There's still a part of me that wants one again just for a back roads beater. A 5-spd 3-dr model with no glass and no interior. In fact remove everything possible to make it light enough to get some actual excitement out of it under power. I would never have one for a driver again, but it was incredibly stout, considering what it was. The only problem with a toy like that is the fact that Subarus are made with gold plated parts, so if anything went wrong you'd be stuck trying to justify spending $200 on a rotten rally racer.QuoteSeems like everyone had V8 power.Hey, I didn't even have HALF that. :hick: Quote Selected

Hell just to have a car is nice. So many people say they wish they still had their first car, I dont want to say that. I want to I STILL have my first car. Ricky Bobby- No one lives forever, no one. But with advances in modern science (daminc) and my high level income (one day), it's not crazy to think I can live to be 245, maybe 300. Heck, I just read in the newspaper that they put a pig heart in some guy from Russia. Do you know what that means?That is how I feel about my car. Quote Selected

What was your first? Reply #40 – February 23, 2009, 02:12:24 PM I got a 68 Torino for my 16th birthday in 1975. Long story short, I turned 16 in September, got my driver's license in October and wrapped it around a telephone pole in November. After that, I saved up and bought my first "cool" car, a 1973 Cougar XR7. My brother's buddy ended up with it after I sold it and tried to beat a train to a crossing. Take a good look at the picture. He was unhurt and he said after he came to a stop, he had to turn the Cougar off. It was still running! Quote Selected

What was your first? Reply #42 – February 23, 2009, 02:36:17 PM My first car was an 86' Celebrity wagon with a 4 tech in it, got it for 500 bucks, and spent about 2000 on it. Had it for 2 years and traded it for my 87' ranger.I can honestly say that I do not want my first car back! lol Quote Selected
