I bet you $5 you didn't push the car to the limits in the parking lot

So you gonna make a vid of you driving it?

Ah yes. Ford FTL. Acceptable transportation, but still lacking in fun factor. RWD, yes? Now rice it, sell it, and use the profit for a bimmer.

i mean handling limits, you know, turn till it loses traction. and i bet i could hit its top speed in the parking lot, 4th gear is out in the tranny, so the top seed is about 60(maybe 70-80 at red line, but i dont want to blow it up). haha.(getting that fixed soon). and i might make a vid, if i do make one, it will be latter today. no donuts tho, the tires gota last a while, till i can get osme new ones.

actualy i think im going to buy it from my parents(if they will let me) and mod it, because i realy like this car, and its the same age as i am. lol(i was born in 89, this was made in 89) ill wait for a bimmer till im out of the house (bimmer cant handle the dirt roads).

very wise "weedhopper" - do all you learning on American "iron", make all your mistakes on it then apply all your "good" knowledge towards quality & performance on real ride

craig · 02-21-2006, 02:00 PM

yeah... if something goes wrong with my BMW, the mechanics here wont know what to do with it.

Storamin · 02-21-2006, 02:42 PM

but with a little patience, and a lot of learning, you'd know how to fix it yourself.

how much did your parents pick it up for? heat doesnt work too well? is it overheating(the engine)?

craig · 02-21-2006, 03:06 PM

every thing works PERFECTLY(except the digital speedo and tranny, witch you will see in tho video i MIGHT upload), no overheating no anything. parents bought it about 700.

haha, not to be an idiot, but you said "... and tranny witch..." lol, WHICH.. haha, these spelling errors can really get to ya!

**94bmw325i** · 02-21-2006, 07:01 PM

I'll help him with the spelling. We'll see who has better spelling credentials j/k

In 7th grade I won the spelling bee at my school, but lost in the state finals they screwed me over, they gave me some crazy word, and the girls winning word was like ultraviolet lol.

Craig, try putfile.com, I think there is one called yousendit.com or something like that.

Nice ride craig

Your car looks modern. I still like the classic looks of the thunderbird from 50s to 80s and the latest model version.
