Well Crazikev gave me the idea to make this a thread so here it is, share your tempo topaz stories good and bad and whatever old beater you have laying around or had before your current car. My tempo blew a tie rod yesterday which was cool, that makes 3 total tie rod's this year for the beast. :lol:

[crazikev]

lol, gas leak, exaust leak, antifreeze leak, and then sold the topaz for a huge sum of $80.

[Aka]

I was hit by a Tempo while riding my bike. Went right over it, front to back. And the first thing I said.... "Oh s**t, sorry about your window!" cuz well, I had f**ked it up pretty bad. Then the lady came out screaming "OMG OMG OMG ARE YOU OK?!?!?!?!" and I was, and then rode home. Then walked in the house and said "I just got hit by a car!"

LOL yah the rear floors should of been made with cardboard, probably would of lasted longer. the front floors were ok but still would rust over time. Damn cheap metal

[crazikev]

but the most memorable topaz moment ever was when we took a trip to Florida, we were driving on the beach and i said dad, go drive in the ocean, so so we go a couple feet into the water and then there was a cop behind us and over it loud speaker the blurted out "get out of the water"

i wonder how much that salt water speed up the rusting on it
