Good for you. I like spending my free time drinking beer and doing anything but wrenching. I've had my share of that. My first car was a 1968 VW Bug, need I say more. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

It is that or an 89 camry with 140,000 miles. Needs new brake lines (quoted 200 for repair) and a small wreck in the front. missing headlight. new one is in the trunk for it.

I think the camry will last you longer. The tempo's been sitting too long and well ..... it's a ford.

I am not getting the taurus. it needed inspected and in order for that to happen it needed 1k in work. I need to find an audio place to install my h/u tomorrow or at least somewhere i can buy a dash kit. The camry has no h/u right now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif The guy i think is going to install mine for me.

the ford taurus/tempo is one of the biggest sh*tbox junk cars ever made, alot of them catch on fire due to a short in the ignition-dont have to be on or running/driving-just spontaniously combust. but hell, its cheap and better than what you got now. go for the camery
