Sure!!! That wagon kicks ass! But just so long as they gave me the keys, cause I would want to drive that beast.

-1985 Mercury Grand Marquis (POS!)
-1996 Nissan Frontier XE pickup. Not very fun, but it was pretty damn reliable.
-2001 Mazda Protege MP3

Gurm: I'm not a focus fan at all, but GT98 does have a point. A new Mustang GT runs 14.9 in the 1/4 mile bone stock. The Focus SVT runs mid 15's. It's not that far off in straight line accelleration, and it handles better as well.

No, never really had a prob with it, until it hit 140,000 miles, then it would not pass emissions. Still ran great though.

Lucky you didn't singe a few feathers, with one of their famous
spontaneous engine fires.

Uh first car? 72 Buick LaSabre. Was the size of a city block, and could fit 8 people in the trunk comfortably. had a 454 V8 and consumed more gas than I could afford.
Went from that to a 84' Pontiac Fiero, then a 92' Mustang 5.0lx and to now a 2002 Explorer.

nah, that's parked outside.

[gt40]

hmm, I would have thought it would have been the 'paddy' wagon.

Honda CB 100cc

Man that was slow, and with a 6v battery, the engine had a habit of cutting out when you flashed someone

1987 Chevrolet Cavalier ( died in accident.. my fault )
1986 Mercury Capri ( temporary replacement .. died when a guy ran a red light in front of me)
1988 Chevrolet Corsica gave it away when the dealership refused to give me a trade in .. lived for another year after that.
2001 Chevrolet Impala.. still going strong 75000KM now

Firstly, what I learnt to drive in (because that's more interesting):

1) A Daihatsu Fourtrack Van.
2) A Fendt 370 GTA Tractor .

And My first car was/is an F-reg Red Fiat Panda 1100cc. It now sits in a barn at the farm gently rotting away - last time I checked the brakes had seized . Really must get it out of the way and into the scrapyard one of these days...

But now I work/live in London a car would be a liability. So I'm Mr Public Transport, or walk.
