The Pictures make the cars paint look lousy but its in really good shape; that’s just the suns reflection off the newly waxed paint!

Here is my 4th Car (I have owned this one the longest 2 years)

And it just passed CA SMOG Wohooo! So I will probably have it for another 2 years :) 12-99

Big bummer, I rear-ended a lady on the freeway! I’m ok, and Mr. Tempo is too, he’ll need a new radiator, and grille, and to have the front end pulled out abit. I’ll get some pictures of the damage before I fix it.
