My New Car

[ShobThaBob]

Bought this about a week ago. Finally finished registering it and such and now all I have to do is learn how to drive it smoothly (its my first manual).

It comes in time.
Unfortunately, the newer Fords have cable clutches and they are harder to drive smoothly.
I drove daily in an Austin America, and played with a friend's Audi, and another friend's 1953 Crown Vic with a "three on the tree".
Another friend had an '80 Mustang with a funky clutch that no one could drive smoothly.

My current Escort his much more civilized. I hope your 'Stang is also.
Congrats on the new ride and good luck learning to drive it.

Wow! I couldnt think of a better time and place to take a picture of a car that you actually wanted people to see.



It is difficult to tell if thats a Prelude or a Rustang initially.


Have fun with your Ford. Thats a workin' mans engine. Dont expect the tranny on that car to take everything you dish out to it. I know from experience.

It was also taken from a polaroid, so the quality is going to be lacking no matter when i take the picture. My family is a ford family, weve had good luck so far (89 taurus, 91 stang, 94 taurus, 98 explorer, 2000 exped). But yeah. I wanted something a lil faster than my explorer that wouldnt raise insurance too much and wouldnt get me arrested, so i got a v6. The only major problem with it is that it came with altezzas :-(. Oh well, i might end up ricing it out just for fun.

Are you going to leave it stock or mod it?

 

[ShobThaBob]

Mod it a lil more. But nothing too extreme. I just want it to last me a couple of years, then Ill buy something new and most likely Chevy.

I thought is was a Pontiac Grand Am.

 

[ShobThaBob]

Eh. I have other pictures, but it isnt worth putting 'em up here.

How the heck did you guys think that was a Prelude, or Grand Am?
