Is that sarcasm? I thought those were noted as some of the best handling cars? I mean, 2nd to the Miata, of course. (lulz)

I understand that, no money is no fun.
Yes, they are quite big, especially for a Protege. But still light!

Crazy night. New owner of a 1989 Ford Probe LX. Flat out.

Nice! We'll have to do a shoot with the Probe and the Yota when it's back together! '89 FTW!
And you're now a Proboner (probe owner)! And you can use all of the horrible puns, like "you just got probed!"
Whatever dude, they've got solid rear axles, why would I want one of those? Eww gross!

It's only one of the best motors Mazda has built... Up until a few years ago (maybe with the advent of skyactiv?) they were still using it as the basis for their diesel architecture.
I've never heard anything good about Probes. lol Any one I've ever been around has given me the impression of them being "throw away" cars.
Steph had one when we first started dating. She had to have a tranny put in it, then it overheated and just about blew the motor. Never got a chance to figure out what was wrong with it, cause she got a DUI and the car was just sitting in the driveway. Her parents wound up giving it to a friend of her dad's and he scraped it.
I just wouldn't have put my trust in a 23 year old car to get me an hour to work and back everyday....but that's just me.

The 2nd gen was rated the best handling FWD car when it came out. The 1st gens handled excellently as well. I guess I'm a lot more fond of the old stuff than the new.
But I've had a few 2nd gen GT's, and they were both trashed. One of them had rice and noodles in the radiator. Literally.
The autos were just s***, though. Ford built the autos and there were nothing but problems. I know on the 4cyl 2nd gens, some of them blew in as little as 80k miles, under stock power, and it has almost no power, so..... yeah. Like a rock, as in "able to hold down a stack of papers." The manuals are fine.

Steel Panther is coming back to HOB in April, anyone?
lol at all of the 'garbage talk' and congrats on the Probe Ivan. You guys need to raise the roof of the garage and install a lift.
Added some rotary to my desk.
I just bought that same one 2 weeks ago. That and the Ken Block Ford Fiesta. I love being a kid at heart.

Where did you pick the rx7 hotwheel up at I need to add one to my Rx7 collection, I should have room in the garage for one that size.
