My mom is donating it to some distant family who have found themselves without a car.

How many times will you play that Barenaked Ladies song on repeat?

Does it have the “Tech (LOL) 4” or the V6?

Have you ever eaten a sandwich in it? If so, what was the best one that was consumed?

No car is worst car. Just having anything that can take you from A to B makes a huge difference.

You never opened the hood to have a peek? You should... at least so you can check the oil and other fluids before you drive off.

Believe you me, it’s getting a once-over by a master technician before I leave.

Sounds like it is for a noble cause going by one of your replies. Is it in decent running order at least?

What’s the top speed? Planning on taking it off any sweet jumps?

Does it have a cassette player? Those Delco radios are something else.

I was supposed to have an ‘88 Celebrity Eurosport as my first car, but my grandad sold it before I got my license. It had the 2.8 V6 and 28,000 miles.

1) See response #2

2) I don’t think it can go fast enough to get airborne.

A quick search tells me that the 4-cylinder version when new had a top speed of 106mph and 98hp. If it’s lost 1 per year, you should expect 71hp and 79mph.

I don’t think the relationship between horsepower and top speed works like that but OK.

I don’t think it does either but in this context it’s close enough.

Do you have a coupon book for a motel chain say Holiday Inn?

my G’pa had one of those in that ugly purple/brown color - filled with cigarette ash. But it had the raspy GM v-6 and sounded pretty cool.
