Never gave me any problems... which is good considering it was showing 88K for the second time in it's life (those ford od's only had 5 digits) . She was black with chrome edging and grill and bumpers. Had the alloy rims, 33" Goodyear Wranglers ATs, a little bit of lift, dark tint, bedliner, toolbox, flowmaster with dual 24" long, 3" wide chrome tips. Had a habit of cracking the passenger side exaust manifold clean in two . Also dropped one of those tail pipes onto I-75... . Had the drive shaft rebuilt after it busted out one end... The tailgait got all rusted inside and quit opening... She sat at a shop for an entire summer 'cause all that happened at the same time, and I was paying for it myself, no real help from the 'rents, so I bought the '94 eclipse 1.8. Another trooper of an engine. Always started, no matter what. Good paint, too... a lot of those first gens had those paint jobs that got all faded... Drove it an entire year from 85K to 100k on a failing clutch, replaced the clutch so i could sell it, right after i found the SVT in a Thrifty Nickel. Got some help on it from my mom, since i'm saving her an ass-load on college with my scholarship. Wouldn't own anything else right now. Figure my next purchase will be a motorcycle; a cruiser of some type. Maybe the Rune. I really miss that truck though.

It grinded into second gear at high rpms ( had to wait like a second before you shifted into second, i normally just skipped second and went to third) and had tons of body damage on the drivers side. Damn I loved that car though. On a side note, I'm probably pulling the plug on my mystique. She's brain dead I think and I'm probably going to get an f-150 extended cab, four door, v-6 manual.

Whaddya think? honestly, whats the point in getting a truck like that if your going with the v6? if you want a v6 extended cab, buy the ranger, the f-series are emant to be used as a real truck, and you cant haul as well with a v6 the f-150 with a v8 would be a sweet choice if you dont really need a truck, you could always get a CSVT cheap!

OK, I'm OLD....first car was a 1962 Plymouth Valiant with a 170 c.i.d. slant 6 and a pushbutton (that's right, pushbutton) automatic. Got it in 1967 for $200. Finally tore up the tranny from revving it in neutral and pushing the button for 1st. Sounded like I ran over a poodle! I'd post a picture, but I'm not sure that cameras were invented back then!
