my new car.....:(

[skorpion317]

*sigh*....despite my best-laid plans, i won't be getting an f-body as my next car. my mom is being a total ***** and is forcing me to drive my grandmother's '88 Lincoln Town Car :(

the only good thing about this car is that it will be free. bad things about the car:

1. grandma image
2. slow
3. slow
4. slow
5. no cd player
6. slow
7. doesn't run very well
8. slow

if it was up to my mom, i would be walking everywhere. me having a car is only a convenience to her, because then she doesn't have to drive me to school/work.

i will still be active on these boards despite my lack of an f-body, though. and i will be plotting to get one back, someday (hint: maybe this summer...)

my mom said she was going to do that when i got my first ticket, then i was talking to my grandma and the first thing my mom did was run a stop sign (speeding) hit a guy on a bike (hospital for a few months) and wraped her car around a tree,to this day she still can not get car insurance with state farm lol... so i had grandma remind her the i could have done much worse [img]smile.gif[/img] ;)

tell her you want a buick.

then buy a grand national.

tell her its just a v6, they are old, and boxy, and slow. that whistle is just the alternator.

You forgot that one downside is that it's slow as well...

Now thats a good idea, BUT, what if she takes and replaces the alt? Then...ahhh its the tranny.

girls dig grandpa image.. you just roll up to them and say "who's ur daddy?"

Listen to me. I've had my V6 F-body for a couple of years now and I'm regretting it more each day. It's slow, EVERYTHING squeeks, it's slow, **** seems to break or quit working all the time, it's slow, and it still sounds like a pissed off weedeater even after changing the exhaust 8 or 9 times. It DOES look good however, and driving down a long, twisty country rpad this time of year with the T-tops out and the radio screaming is really awsome.

The good thigs about a V6 F-body:
-Looks pretty good

-Going topless on sunny days is sweet

-Gas mileage is not that bad

-Cheaper insurance than the V8

The bad:
-SLOOOOW

-Sounds ricey past 2500rpm even after a TON of different setups

-Catching **** from your friends because it's a 6-banger

-Squeeks, cheap interior, things tend to break or quit working easy on the F-bodies regardless of engine (headlight motors, window motors, etc)

Keep pimping the Town Car man. Install a CD player and give it a tuneup.

v6 f-body is not slow. It's not fast, but I cannot call it slow, especially the 5sp...

It's slow over 60mph, but it's pretty perky 0-60. I don't really care about sound, I got stock exhause anyway. It sounds nice enough for me, especially after I just got it after 4 banger. The only thing that clangs is the rearend, cuz it's leaking oil.

Just save every cent you can, for a downpayment on your dream car [img]smile.gif[/img]

Then go out and get it later. I kinda wish I got a beater, if I waited 2 months more I likely could have gotten a Mach 1 [img]smile.gif[/img]

Why don't you put some 22" 100 spokes on it, big stereo system, monitors, you'll be ballin out of control mexican style LOL j/k

Here's the upside to the "Grandpa Image":

Cops pretty much ignore you... trust me, I know! ;)

this is off topic so sorry to the topic starter but why is every post i read from you disrespectful to our cars and you complaining about them? if you hate them so much, get off this board and get a stang. it would be a big upgrade. [img]graemlins/popcorn.gif[/img]
