Women (wives) usually get what they want... eventually! I'll probably have to die first though. My computers and the ole benz will be the first to go. Hey, maybe there should be a vogons database of who we are leaving our rare computer parts to at death, otherwise some rare parts might make their way to the recyclers.

New to me. It's the funnest car I ever been in that can't get you a speeding ticket 🤣

Before and after on the paint. It was never cleared. Or buffer in along time. Mostly original paint.

Hehe, Ford thought Escort was such a neat design they decided to make everything else look like it too. 🤣

It looks like a escort because it more or less is and escort. I kind of wish it had the 1.6t just for the turbo sound but the 1.9l is a good engine (for a blender 🤣)

I do like how it looks, sort of like a fox body but with more of a hatchback and conservative look.

Did I say the interior was spotless? Dirty but spotless.

Sexy red vinyl, can't beat that. Well, maybe a 70's Cadillac with good old Liberace interior. 😊

Those are some interesting door handles

I don't think there is one thing on the car that's not interesting in a odd kind of way. Like how its a 5 speed with cruise control. Even has a rear hatch defroster, but the wiring is ran though the hatch struts. Funny thing is the rear spoiler probably ways 50-60 pounds. 😕

I have it tuned up pretty good and it does a quarter mile in a whooping 24 seconds 😵 It will probably never win a heads up race but with a dial in I bet it will cause a lot of red lights. 😈 Not that I plan to race it, but it would be funny to.

The thread title does not mention the word "car" (or "own" for that matter) so here is what I drive in my free time (that is my daughter whom I hope will become a pilot at some point).

Is that a 152?

A 172, 4 seater. With nice glass cockpit. 170BHP or so.

Fancy!

Neet!
But I don't think you drive planes? Don't you fly them?

Not on the taxiway (unless you don't want to fly again, ever)!

That Ford EXP is incredible! Would love to take it for a spin.

I've got four (cheap) cars now, two of which I'm trying to sell. My Saab 9000 is still in storage, and over the holidays I picked up two 5-speed Volvo S70s...

...bought the one on the right, liked it, found a better one for the same price, bought it too. Trying to sell the first one now.

My 1990 Chevy Lumina was recently featured on Regular Car Reviews:

Here are the videos: an overall discussion of the Lumina, an extended cut of its quirks, and a POV drive.

Trying to sell the Chevy now too. Four cars is too many, I don't have room for them.

Jade: You should contact RCR about your EXP, it's right up their alley.

I watched the Lumina episode and related videos today! Was great seeing your car featured. I always enjoy seeing clean, well-kept examples of ordinary, "boring" cars (which I guess is the reasoning behind the channel's name).

Luminas are awesome. Reminds me of the movie Days of Thunder with tom Cruise as Cole Trickle, where he races on the street with one vs. Rowdy Burns! 🤣
I think the stock car he raced in the movie had lumina badges on them too.

Their extreme "regularity" makes them so awesome.

Monday or tuesday i get my new car, depending on when the registration document arrive.


The rims are just for the winter tires, the summer rims are also black.

Its a handful to drive and then some. The clutch is very touchy and not powered, no tach (broken), low idle and hates low RMPS. That and lots of under steer. Add all that up with the fact that its a 5speed with 90hp and most drivers will have a handful.
Once you get up and going its OK, Just stay away from turns and hills. 🤣
