This thread is extremely disappointing with no pictures

My first car was a 1996 Ford Contour SE. 2.5v6, 5sp manual. Not the coolest car but it was fun to drive. Never really did any modifications to it, other than a system (hey, it was cool back in high school )


My second car was a 1992 Ford Taurus SHO. 3.0 Yamaha HO v6, 5sp manual. No mods to speak of on this car either. Body was kinda rough but man was it fast for a car it's size.


The third vehicle is my ZJ.

I hate Taurus's ... but i LOVE SHO's... what a dillema!
