My Third Car - 1991 Ford Thunderbird "Sport"

1991 Ford Thunderbird "Sport" - 1991-2000

I wanted to drive this car forever.....

It went with me on my 3 year vacation to California.

Was involved it 3 accidents.
One good one was ..I drove into the side of a Taco Bell restaurant...(fell asleep in the Drive-thru)

Was sold for $1,500.00 - 101.000 miles on it...The transmission was going for the second time in about a year.

Trivia - Some say only 500 "Sport" editions were made for the 1991 model.

Automobile history will judge this model well, it truly was an awesome vehicle!

I remember the Taco Bell incident, didn't you still go to the window and pick up the food???

A three year vaca??

Then I'm on a 14 year vaca in L.A.

Yes - we (Kyle and I) did pull up and pay for the food...

They were curious about what happend and why my fender was bent into the tire...

but we convinced them all was ok and there was no need to panic...

after the food was bought I pulled over - we bent the fender out, went home, ate & passed out..
