I had a '91 Mercury topaz too! Mine didn't have the sweet wing or graphics though. It was white with an all red interior. I abused the hell out of that car, but it keep coming back for more.

That thing has seen many a field and has been put into reverse/park many times while going over 20mph. ^_^ The engine was really loud. I remember I was at a light once and a 5.0 Mustang was next to me revving his engine so I reved mine. He looked scared. It was owned by both me and my brother(he had lots of fun with garbage cans) and somehow it still runs...the transmission just slips a bit.

[Mr. Merk]

when i was 14 my dad (lives in another state) had an 86 Blazer 2.8L 4x4, and he left with me for a while, and i went to school out in the country

so everyday after school we'd go rag the hell out of it in the fields, we ended up popping all 5 tires...lol....we spun it, almost tipped it over, jumped....good times

but MY first car was a 1990 Ford Ranger XLT Lariat, 2.9L German made V6 and a ****ty Japanese 5spd (went through ~4 of em)

i learned a lot with that truck, by the time i sold it i had an intake, exhaust, chip, throttlebody, electric fan, LSD, gears, swaybars, stiffened leaf springs, mustang wheels, sticky kumho tires, mazda tranny conversion and some aesthetics

raced an 04 GTI and beat him to 60mph, that thing would HOOK after i got done with it

Yup. Veering off the road at 50mph and hitting a large tree stump will surely put a dent in your plans for the evening. Especially if you're watching the whole thing unfold from the back seat. :( One thing I learned from that experience, never let anyone you don't trust with your life drive your car. The other thing I learned was always buckle up before flipping a car over.

haha You should get a job doing automotive quality control. Apparently you are pretty good at taking down cars.
