Not the exact car, but mine was the same color and everything. 1997 Pontiac Grand Am, my parents got a new car in 2004 and gave that one to me. It got totaled about a month later (and probably wouldn't have lasted much longer than that, the thing was a piece of crap)
I was 13 when I read that.. and was afraid of the ford galaxy we owned, because it constantly cut power (had a bad wire somewhere) so if you drive it at night, BAM no lights at all..
86 Mercury Capri RS. Some light mods.... about 310 HP and 310Lb of torque and had some weight pulled. Suspension and brakes upgraded too. I was an idiot and sold it a few years back

BADASS! You don't see too many Capris around at all, especially 5.0's. My aunt had one. I can't remember the year, but hers was a 4 cylinder. She had it a while, though. I loved it. Cool looking cars. Basically a Mercury Mustang, but they did have their own distinct style.
Ya I have not seen one since I sold mine Man thats sad. I shouldnt have done it but at the time I wasnt driving it much and I need $$ to pay off some school debts so I thought why not. My current car is ok ( '98 contour svt) but the Capri was a beast. It handled great and had exposive power and torque. Very fun to drive. I miss the V8 rumble especially since mine was cammed

I miss the V8 rumble especially since mine was cammed I don't have any real pictures of it anymore since it was around 1979 but basically it was a 1950 Chevy Bomb. Never got to drive it because we could not find anyone who knew how to work on a transmission that old. It sat there for a few years than had to be sold. Huge car with all kinds of room inside with a BIG steering wheel.
In the picture below, this is a 1951, I had a 1950. It had custom interior and was primered, ready for paint.
Now the first real car that I was actually able to buy and drive, was a 1970 Chevy Impala hard top. It was green. I had it for a year till some drunk driver took care of that on Halloween morning.
The one I had was identical to this one, only as I said, green.

Yeah, V8 power is awesome. After driving my friend's Mustang GT, I just HAVE to have one.
They are awesome.
The Contour SVT is also a very cool (and rare) car. I love the looks of them and they perform well. I don't believe I've ever seen one of those in person, either.
Living in a small town sucks for car-spotting, that's for sure.
it depends, sometimes i drive very aggresive and sometimes i just drive regular..
i would say 18/29 but i usualy don't look at the gas coz the company i work for pays my gas

It'll either be this:
1990 Toyota Pickup (except grey in color)
Or something like this:
2000-era Toyota Tacoma. I'm getting my permit soon, so I'll be driving said '90 Toyota for a while until I can buy it from my parents, or save up a little more for a newer one like this ^
