Tempo/topaz Discussion And Other Older Cars
#31
A friend and I had to rescue my brother and his '87 Tempo back in '99, my brother was on his way to visit his GF in Detroit when he decides to pull off and have a bite to eat at a higway stop with a MCD's just after London he comes out and he can't start the car calls me and I give him a few ideas but to no avail. So after 2 hours or so my friend and I arrive in his old beat up Jetta and we decide to go in for dinner as well lo and behold when we come out the friggin Jetta won't start either, after 30 minutes of trying to get the Tempo or Jetta working we finally figured out that the celonoid on the Jetta was on it's way out and we just hit it with the handle of a screwdriver to get it started and made it back to TO in the early hours of the morning. :lol:

The Tempo was rescued a week later after going back and getting a new starter installed.

Price of a new starter = $75.00
Money spent at McDonalds = 20.00
Memories from that night = Priceless
