It may be an older car but at least its got some character, which is FAR greater than any new pos. Just cause something is new doesn't make it good, honestly I would gladly take a clean 10 year old car over probably 90% of the new crap, new doesn't equal good specially if it is a fun of the mill 4 or 6 banger 2 or 4 door car that is built for mpg (heh guess that about covers 90% of the cars produces nowadays)
I'm a ford guy through and through, but thats a clean machine right there, not sure if its been asked before though, auto or stick? Enjoy the ride, even as a ford guy I give ya some respect for driving something nice.
