hah I make fun of him for it, and he wants a new car, but seriously he takes insanely good care of it. He's more OCD than I am. Despite the tacky crap on the outside the inside looks absolutely mint, it runs like a brand new car, and he cleans it more frequently than i clean mine... which is a lot

That's amazing considering Tempos have been extinct around here for at least 10 years now! I don't know of anybody who owned one since new who said it lasted more than 6 or 7 years (I also don't know anybody that has any kind words for them either!) They say the Pinto was a horrible car, but the Tempo had to rank right up there with it!
Fun little fact: In northern Minnesota, they sold an AWD Tempo briefly in 1989. I knew a guy who had one and made him put it up on jack stands to prove to me that it had AWD. Sure as shit, all 4 wheels spun!

Yeah, most Tempos I see are beat to hell, but his isn't. He's owned the car since before he got his license, I think 4 or 5 years now. I think the previous owner must have been a little old lady or something, he bought it with low miles and has taken good care of it. The only thing really wrong with it is the paint is starting to go on the trunk, it doesn't have a grille and the hood is banged up (that was from an impact with a deer a while ago, he hasn't gotten around to fixing it yet, it still passes inspection, so what's the hurry?).

Cutty, if you see this, since you live near me, see if you can guess the park those pics were taken in! And even better, see if you can name the road in the second pic

ODD fact. even though the tempo was offered with a 3.0 v6 and a 5 speed, the awd was ALWAYS only a 2.3 hsc 4cyl
