My first car was a 93 Thunderbird, bought it off CL for 1,000 dollars. Was in ruff shape, I immediately put in some new parts like a radiator, fuel filter, spark plugs, and couple other things to get it running. Then a buddy of mine helped me get a exhaust on it. It was the v6 not the v8, but it still pulled like crazy. I just hated the last few months I had it because the tranny would slip a lot, ended up selling it to a guy and his wife who just had a baby. Really loved the car though, lot of good memories with it.
