my new car....:(
 

*sigh*....despite my best-laid plans, i won't be getting an f-body as my next car. my mom is being a total bitch and is forcing me to drive my grandmother's '88 Lincoln Town Car :banghead:

the only good thing about this car is that it will be free. bad things about the car:

1. grandma image
2. slow
3. slow
4. slow
5. no cd player
6. slow
7. doesn't run very well
8. slow

if it was up to my mom, i would be walking everywhere. me having a car is only a convenience to her, because then she doesn't have to drive me to school/work.

i will still be active on these boards despite my lack of an f-body, though. and i will be plotting to get one back, someday (hint: maybe this summer...)

I know that it's sometimes easier said than done, but why don't you just get your own insurance?

Go find a 3rd gen at a good price, get a quote from NJCure (as long as you've had your license for 3+ years), and get basic coverage.

i don't know if i'll even have enough money to buy a car, period, once the camaro's sold. i took out a loan to pay for it, so i have to put whatever i get for it towards the rest of the loan.

You personally took out a loan? So the car is in your name? And you're letting your mom sell it?

- Justin

no, my dad had to co-sign it, so it's in his name.

Weight nazi the **** out of the town car and race it. That'll really piss them off.

looks like i may be coming to you central jersey guys for a little makeover then :lol:

There is an IROC for sale by me. I drove past it, and it looked to be in good shape. Im going to go by there in a few and check it out.

efi 5.0 in the towncar? you can probably make it faster than a 98 v6 f-body for less than $500 :lol:

Oh man... sorry to hear that you gotta get rid of the Camaro. Maybe this pic will cheer you up.

It's an '87 Lincoln Town Car I saw on CarDomain... I wanted to find out what style Town Car you were getting. Now if it was only torque that was making that Town Car wheelie.... haha.

that shoudl have a 5.0 mustang motor in it :) hmmm, a few free mods and weight nazi it and it could be a great sleeper.
i say **** it man. yer stuck with teh trud have fun with it. junkers can be a blast, jsut look at my 84 cavalier, aka: rally cav, it is the best thing in teh world having a car you can beat teh crap out of with no remorse. :)

did u price the fbody yet...i still might be interested...just wish it were a manual.

for some reason i dont think that lincoln is pulling a wheelie im lead to believe that it has hydraulics i mean look at it...perfect PR ghetto hopper

quote bobby oofoh "Now if it was only torque that was making that Town Car wheelie.... haha" i imagine reading comprehension was not one of your strong points in school :lol:

















jk

Heh - no you're not!

Dont even worry about makin it fast, just add alot of furry interior stuff, big subs and a nice head unit, then drive around wearin a pimp hat and glasses blastin loud obnoxious music, i'm sure your parents will consider gettin you a different car after that :D ...or you can keep it and pimp, fixing any lady problems you are having

it's definitely a pimp-type car...and i DO have a pimp hat...hmmm :pimp:

i'm thinking about using it as a limo. i could take people to the airport and stuff for extra cash towards a new f-body.

I'm also going to make my parents pay for forcing me to get this thing. They are gonna have to pay for every repair on that car before i get it. I want it in showroom condition before I drive it.

heh i'm also considering dropping in a Ford 351W just to piss them off. one thing's for sure, that would get my limo passengers to their destinations quickly :shock:

why go through all teh trouble of a motor swap when you can jsut cut the mufflers off? :D

actually the Linc has the the non-ho 5.0, the one that came in the t-birds and such, it has diff H/C/I, but aftermarket works all the same, the things im not sure on are diff internals (non forged) and im pretty certain it has a different firing order

thats a great idea to piss them off, and the subs, actually you should also paint it pink, spray paint will do, gotta have ur pimp ride a pimp color :D do you have a pink derby? i've got a purple one... :lol:

i was thinkin about doin this over the summer with a few friends. cause the actual stretch limo versions of that body style are sellin for dirt cheap, like $600 in good condition. but in the end people just wanted to soup it up, paint it some crazy color with flames and pick up chicks. 8) geting a limo lisence/insurance was gonna be a bit of a pain from what i remember :evil:

getting a limo license is next to impossible. you have to prove to the state that another limo is needed... rotsa ruck.

on the other hand, i understand the f40 upper/lower intake fits that motor, plus a set of equal length headers, CAI, heads, injectors and a blower would put that yacht into the 12s... :evil:
