R4: At least now we've found a reason for the emergency escape latch
No amount of seizure inducing lights or paint can make this a NP. I'd love to get my grubby little hands on an SVT Contour (my "first" car was a '96 I4 in Seafoam Green) but for this price I could buy one decent example and 3 or 4 parts cars. CP
I drive 100+ miles each day. I have no need for doing burnouts or speeding or doing anything else that may otherwise damage my ability to drive and continue to get paid. That being said, there's a world of difference between letting a tire loose and sitting, stopped, on a freeway nonetheless, with another person standing in the middle of the road, waiting to "race".
Humans, as a product of evolution, have a thing people today like to call "common sense." As a product of common sense, someone invented a thing called a "racetrack." Whether it be a twisty-turny bit or a long straight stretch, these allow people to burn off their testosterone and show off in front of a crowd with far far less chances of serious damage being caused to them or someone else. Funny thing is these are all over the fucking place and don't cost a whole lot to run your car down. They're a lot more cost-effective than a large aluminum wing, some would say.
Humans also have the ability to learn from their mistakes, or learn from the mistakes of others. Watching this video, and reading the comments of people with heads on their shoulders should not generate an "STFU" response; it should be more along the lines of "that's not a bad idea. Still have my fun and not look like a complete toolbag farting around the freeway or getting my ass killed because I didn't see that truck/that truck didn't see me."
Segue: When I feel the need, I go to Bandimere in my SPG or the neighbor's Pete 379. 3rd fastest tractor at Truckfest 2011 and it's a daily driver.
I've been looking for one of these for a good long while. Unfortunately, due to my "current situation", I'll continue to look for a good while longer.
NP anyway
You are supposed to take it to the fucking track
There's an obvious misspelling in the ad
Absolutely certain they meant "MAACO"

Not bad at all! My $500 performance is this (now with more SPG)
Ford Portofino Blue. Could be found on every FoMoCo product from the '80s well into the '00s.
F-150?
It was a '71 Chevy C-10.
The Morning Shift: Powerglide edition
Not entirely - many 900s were made without turbos, mainly S models. My hood however (replacement) still has some discoloration from where the turbo emblems were
I'd guess that the "S" model does not denote sport, or special, but slow
Saabs were notorious for this in the '80s. An uplevel 900 could have the Saab Griffin, "SAAB", "900", "turbo" and "16 VALVE" on the rear hatch. Not to mention the "turbo" badges on each side of the hood. The SPG/Aero did it right though, leaving only the Griffin and "SAAB" on the hatch to identify
I've had people ask if, since my SPG doesn't have the "turbo" badges everywhere, I'd gone through the trouble of removing the snail
I've had, I think, eight people in a hangout. Some local, some overseas. It is great except (if you're sitting near other people hanging out) you may notice a shitton of laaaaaaaag
Almost. There are two dim knobs - one for the gauge cluster and one for the auxiliary controls (HVAC, radio [if dim equipped] etc). The "Speedo Only" Night Panel was introduced in the '94 900 I think.
My wife doesn't have any issues reaching things in the car either. The wheel is incredibly close to the dashboard.
MORE IMAGES FOR THE IMAGE GOD
Tactile knobs and buttons. Everything right where it's supposed to be. I can reach near everything without removing my hands from the wheel, and can do anything without removing focus from the road.
