Here is one I snapped awhile ago - I was watching some sort of cops show and this was in the background. '95 for $14,995 in '96 - what a deal:
I just realized that the pic I took was almost exactly 10 years later.... wierd
Dude tempos freaking rocked! But they were the complete opposite kinda of car.
Slow reliable didn't handle well, just old old tec.
First car was a '91 tempo!!!!! Hahahaha it caught on fire while i was pulling into McDonalds, I ran inside and asked for water.....i got a kiddie cup filled half way with ice. Headlight bulb got really hot, melted the lens and then caught on fire.
I would have parked in the drive thru, you would have been guaranteed a fire extinguisher. :laugh:
LOL. I actually had a Tempo too. 160,000 miles on it with no issues, then just died one day. Never was able to figure out what happened...
my first car to learn to drive a stick on was an 85 tempo that was in perfect condition...this was in 94 or so, and it well, lot faster then the gl my wife has now. but then i rolled it 7 times and hit a tree, thing crumpled like a wad of paper, but i got out unscratched!
good cars!

soooo my pic of a contour reminded everyone to talk about tempos.... wierd
On the other side of the thread...
My first car when I was 16 was a 92 Tempo GLS. Had a 5-speed, Vulcan V6, white with the factory body kit. Had the white 15" (yeah! 15"!) rims...hot car. When my sister turned 16, she got it while I was in college. It was going to be my graduation present when I graduated from college. Then one day, while my sister was driving it...this happened. It had 138k, all original, no problems.
She didn't walk away, but she's okay now. Then I got the contour! Although I'm still a little heartbroke about the car when I see tempos driving around.
a Vulcan with a 5 speed? in a little car like a tempo? That would have been a blastie to drive around
