I had to share.

So I'm coming home from work on I-270 today, cruising along in semi-rush hour traffic at about 75 mph. When up from my left, I hear the telltale sound of a straight-through muffler on an un-tuned 4-cylinder. You all know what I mean.

I look over my shoulder, and there's this green car. Flying. He blasts by at about 85 or so. Well, I've found my rabbit, so I jump in right behind him. It was then that I got a better look at this...thing.

It has a spoiler... a wing, I guess. Fiberglass, apparently. The wing is longer than it should be, so the ends are sticking out a little on both sides of the trunklid. The mounts on the wing are really close together in the middle, so the ends are kinda...flapping.

Stock wheels, stock ride height. No apparent mods, outside of the exhaust and the...wing.

Ford Tempo, ladies and gentlemen...circa 1992 vintage. And to top it all off...an SVT badge. :thumbsup:

I don't know. At least it wasn't all ricey, but...an SVT badge on a 4-cylinder Tempo? :stupid: I need to start carrying a camera...

Hey, I had a '92 Tempo before the Cougar, those things are badass. I could go from zero to 60














... and sometimes it'd be nice and let me go over the 85mph that the speedo went up to.
