I think the looks got to you. It certainly is NOT a sports car! The Blackhawk trim made it look pretty cool, but that was it. No guts to back up the package. That said, I got stopped at 70 in a 45 MPH zone, the cop asked why I was going so fast and I said, New Car, not quite used to it yet. He gave me a warning and said, I've had new cars, too and winked.

Only two bumper stickers (notice they can be abbreviated as BS) I have ever had. One in 1981 that said "Nuke Reagan" when I was still Liberal and one that says http://www.thenagainband.com No "Free Tibet" here...

Driving that car gave the feeling of being on a boat: no feel of the road and swaying left and right. But I never capsized! ;) > > I think the looks got to you. It certainly is NOT a sports car!

The car was peppy, but it was VERY LOW IN ENGINEERING.

I'm thinking of one that says: "Free America from Bad Drivers!"

Yeah, they had Black, White and Red. Like I said, a looks package. Too bad you still don't have it. Since it and the Paseo share the same platform there are lots of things you can do to the car suspensionwise. There is also a 4A-GE swap that gives the car 112 horses (don't ask me why 108HP feels like 60 and 112 feels like 140...the FE engines are engineered for efficiency and the GE for power) I was thinking about making a bunch of "changes" to my '95 DX (with spoiler, no wing) but the Supra came up for sale and I had to sell a car fast. Needless to say a Toyota sold a LOT faster than a Chrysler! > >> That said, I got stopped at 70 in a 45 MPH zone, the cop asked why I was >> going so fast and I said, New Car, not quite used to it yet. >> >> He gave me a warning and said, I've had new cars, too and winked. > > The car was peppy, but it was VERY LOW IN ENGINEERING. |
