1987 Ford Thunderbird
Lifespan: ~8/1998 - ~2/1999
Well, after the adventure with my Impala, I once again needed a car that at
least ran! So, my brother had procured an accident vehicle from a friend
(for $20!), and fixed it up. He didn't like it, so I traded him the Probe
for it. And so it was. I referred to this car as my winter beater.
And it shore lived up to the name. My brother had spray-painted the front
end green. It was red, because of the junk-yard parts he got for it.
Normally, the car should have been grey. Well, I didn't quite like the
green, and it wasn't the right kind of spray-paint, so I took it to the
car wash and sprayed it off. Yummy. Now the car was grey/red/green. OK!
Well, my rims didn't fit on it. I didn't want to put a system in it,
because the electrical system sucked ass. My headlights were barely
light to drive by (they never came off bright mode). So I put in the CD
player and left it at that. Well, I drove the car for quite a few
months. It was killing me, after riding in all the nice cars I've had,
and after a while it got to me. But in the interim, I had remodeled my
room in the basement, and had some spare paint, so we painted
it! However, a week later, I got a new car...
