The Ford Tempo is a coupe/sedan car model that was produced by Ford Motor Company for model years 1984 to 1994. It was a downsized successor to the boxy Ford Fairmont that introduced "jellybean" styling, which would later be shown on the larger 1986 Ford Taurus. and was replaced in 1994 by the "world car platform" Ford Contour. The Tempo was part of a rejuvenation by Ford to offer more environmentally friendly, fuel efficient, and more modern styled models to compete with the imports. While the car sold well, its innovation and aerodynamic design paved the way for the even more groundbreaking Ford Taurus. Its twin, the Mercury Topaz, is a slightly upscale variant of the Tempo sold through Ford's Lincoln-Mercury division.

This friend of ours, he had this mom right, and like her sh*tty 1990 Ford Tempo blew it's transmission and would only run in first gear or reverse! She sold it to us for $100 bucks, and we absolutely raped the poor thing. (personally, i think she liked it). But anyways. Enjoy the Show! The Slo-mo Show!

well we had this POS ford Tempo that was on its last legs. So we got the bright (read: stupid) idea to take it out in style. This is the results. Remix version, shorter with the boring parts cut out. Now in time with the music.
