You really should have to own at least 2 running SA/FB/FC's before you get an FD. Should be a qualification.
What about 2 fb's while owning an fd?

Bone stock minus tint and rattle can black wheels... and she's stayin' like that.

Also have a Saab 9-5 Sport Wagon that I just picked up (no pic yet). Pretty damn practical wagons are. They're the way of the future.

Too many nice cars here!

Been daily driving this for 10yrs, now I realize the effect. Rusts.
I also snapped the front lip.



So I got this for the snow. Might be too late now, the cancer on the FC is spreading. POR-15 all over.






No snow...

Used to daily my FD, but the drive to work and back at rush hour made it pointless, and its only 11 miles, so never eally got warm properly. So bought a mighty EJ9 Civic:



I'd ideally want a pickup truck or something like that, but since Ford stopped making the P100:



...everything (regarding pickups) in the UK has ridiculous ride height.

And some of us DD our FD's with no problems whatsoever, maybe you should take better care of yours? JK .

If MI didn't cover their roads with salt during the winter months I would drive my FD year round, but I enjoy having a rust free FD more than I do driving it in the snow .

I'll give you a hint, its not the lifted Silverado, the blue Protege hiding behind that, or the MKII Supra in the background . . .


needs more wax.
