The Tempo Story — Nick's Version

in
Once upon a time there was a guy named Nick. He had friends named Courtney, Steve and Brad. One day Nick and Courtney went to a car auction in a magical place called Barlow, at this place wonderful things happened... So doth start A Tempo Story. Do you ever wake up and say to your self; I'm going to buy a $75 piece junk car to try yanking apart to see if it will still work when I'm done? NO! Of course not, and nether do I. But that didn't stop me. Regardless of what they say, a tempo is not junk. They are good reliable cars... yup.

I know the masses have been yearning for it, and as such, the Tempo story returns! Ok, I know: nobody actually cares. However, it is a piece of Randomland history, and has therefore been restored. The formatting is still a little rough, but it's coming along. The story is at least back in its original state! I changed a few of the pictures and fixed a few typos, but nothing major at all. I sure was a rice-hater back then...

At this point, we got the new exhaust manifold and pipes on the car. It ran very quietly compared to it's previous loud, flatulence-like gurgle. But the car had a leaky radiator so it was time to fix that!

Well, at this point the car has been in our possession for a little over a month and has been admirably abused. On the 18th of September, we decided to go ahead and get that old exhaust manifold off that car!

The Tale of the '89 Ford Tempo — Part 1

in

It all started on a fateful day, in August of 2002. Nick's family and I went to the Barlow Auction house, in Barlow, Oregon to see what cars were being auctioned off. Most certainly, I did not think that I would be driving home in a (drum-roll, please) 1989 Ford Tempo! The auction garage was filled with a choking cloud of burnt-oil, catalytic'ed to death, 1980's 4 cylinder, ugly car exhaust.
