After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

I want an AWD Tempo and an AWD Pontiac 6000 to pit one-on-one in some kind of death rally.

All I know about it.

I was actually looking for the earlier 2 door tempos to photoshop a modern version from, but the pics are all crappy. Like this:

When I was a kid my PowerWheels Jeep was hauled home on the roof of a Tempo much like this, an '85 later traded in for a brand-new 740iL in the late 90s.

Seeing that we're talking about Tempos now...in that segment, for that time (mid 80s), they were very good. 

I had 2 of them (and '86 and a '91).  They were cheap, dependable and you couldn't kill them.  As Ford was too distracted from product-line in the 90s, they let them die of neglect.

I did my driver's ed in a Tempo. It was a tremendous pile of shit that was terrifying (for a young driver) when getting up to speed on the freeway. I had to keep it floored continuously, and it made an awful groaning sound when the A/C was switched off.

The only other car I had driven at the time was a 96 Corolla, which seemed positively sprightly when compared with the Tempo.

You officially deserve pity.  My driver's ed. car was a 1997 Honda Civic HX (hatch back).  I liked it a lot with the exception of the horribly uncomfortable seat.

I had a Toyota Echo.  I remember looking down to check my speed for the first time and screaming in my head "Oh my god, someone's stolen my gauges!" and then I remembered they were retardedly in the middle.

Holden Astra. The bloody indicators were set for left hand drive, as with all imported Euro Holdens, so the first few lessons I completely embarrassed myself by flicking the wipers on and spontaneously changing lanes.

I didn't spend too much time in my driver's ed car because my instructor thought I was at that time the best student he had, and my parents would take me out in my Camry daily to practice. It was after I got my full license that I started pulling fun shit... I was just so sick of being by the book.
