The best Tempo story i have is when my brother (who is the master of the "temple of tempo") got a free one from a friend. So we had like a 15-20km trip to get it home. No plates no nothing, stickshift, clutch non existent. So my dad drove it (he is a licensed mechanic). We are taking all the back roads he's just ramming it into gears black smoke every where. We come to a spot where its take a ROUGH farm road, or a busy main road. Yep half a thought later theres my dad FLYING down the farm road one arm out the window at 80km/hr, launching it in air bobbing up and down. I took the busy road being the support vehicle (Aerostar). Of course half way down the road it dies, stalling out in a huge puddle. So i proceed to go down the road from the other way in the van i get five feet from the car and he tells me go this way and i'm like not gonna make it so i try to go back to my original path and bury the van, three hours later we managed to walk to my buddies house and get my neighbor to come tow us both out
