It shall now be called "jelly bean" Original, I know.

Whoever went curve-crazy at Ford in the early 2000s really needed to stop.

(Still the only picture I have of the car)

Also, why the hell does the V6 in this beige-mobile sound so glorious? It sounds amazing for what it is.

Car shoppers, this is not sexy

This is sexy

Real cars have curves

Got a nickname for my girl's car too! It's called the GonnaGoKillMyselfNowCauseNoWomanInHerRightMindWouldEverTouchMe

It's kind of long, but she likes it, so it sticks. * manic smile*

I used to love the sound of that V6. My mom had a 98 wagon with about 198,000 on the dash until she rotted to death. Rest in peace.

I had one. Lasted 300,000 miles before I sold it. It was very reliable, very roomy, got reasonable MPG, and comfortable. I never had an issue with the transmission as others did. Of course I changed the transmission fluid every 20,000 miles and drove respectably. It was actually in great shape still and running perfect when I sold it. After 300,000 miles I just got tired of looking at it.

That's a rather fitting name. Now all it needs is more POWAHHHH.

The ONE HUNDRED FIFTY-SEVEN horsepower the car has is put to surprisingly good use. It will hit 90 at least, learned that today. Which is more than my van does.

I still miss the 194 horsepower in her Camry though. Beige Lightning, that car was.

Those things tend to rust out like crazy round here. Of course if you live in the southern USA I doubt you have that problem. It doesn't look rusted from here!

And that is how this topic got started. "I just got tired of looking at it." It's like a girl with a great personality and does everything right except she's got noticeably different sized boobs... just can't get over it and had to get rid of her.

It could be worse. My ex had a 2005 purple PT Cruiser. I was constantly fixing leaks, rattles, suspension bits falling apart, and stupid electrical gremlins. It was nicknamed the "Purple Paycheck Eater".
