I bought a '89 Ford Taurus stationwagon with a 3.0L H.O. V6 for 200 bucks from a friends parents. It was rusty but in perfect mechanical condition. I took that thing rally racing and generally beat the piss out of it. Here is what was wrong with it by the time I was done and still sold it in running condition for 50 bucks.

-knocked off exhaust so it was running open manifolds
-knocked off side molding rally racing it
-broke the CV joint on passenger side front tire so the tire would shutter and wobble while driving
-messed up the trany so it would slip going up hill or with 3 friends in the car with me
-smoked a turkey which smashed my grill out, which hit my hood release, which made my hood pop up at 65 mph, which folded the corners of the hood by the windshield, which smashed my windshield (insureance paid me 500 bucks to total it out, but I said hell it is still drivable so I drove it that way without fixing it)
-ruined the motor so that it was only running on 2 cylinders
-had a wrestling match on the car which dented EVERY body panel in
-fried the ignition so I bypassed that section with a ghetto push button style start
-took it amish wooden bridge jumping which dented in the oil pan, bent the controle arms, and messed up the floor pans

I did all of this in 2 months and I drove it every day until I sold it for 50 bucks to someone who needed a 75 dollar part off it. :loser1:
