Ok, here's some pics. My dad's truck is super ugly, and really not in the greatest condition, but it is fun chirping the tires every now and then. 
My mom's is probably my favorite to drive, after mine of course 
. It has leather, moon roof, xm, Bose stereo (could use a better sub 
), etc. The pic is actually several years old, and it hasn't looked that good in a long time. The next is my sister's Malibu. It's ok, but nothing special. Also, the pic is really old. Well, there ya go!

It cracks me up to see you showing your parent's vehicles.
I just tell people that my parents still drive and they are amazed.
They were born before Calvin Coolidge was president.
Oh yeah... dad drives a Ford product and still changes his own spark plug and wires.

LOL! My grandparents all still drive, but really probably shouldn't. My grandpa used to buy American, and had a really cool classic Cadillac, but sold it before I was born. 
Now he and my grandma drive stinkin' toyotas, and insists that his '89 camry down in Phoenix looks just like my mustang. 
My other grandma drives a red Buick Century (?).

It's waayyy below normal. It has 90hp and 135 lb/ft of torque. I know, hideous. The turbo 2.3s (SVOs, turbo coupes, etc.) are a completely different story though. They can easily give a 5.0 a run for it's money. Hopefully someday I'll finally put one in mine.

I wouldn't mind having a 4 cyl. Fox if it was as nice as yours Nathan! As for power, that's what the aftermarket is for. Here in PR we have some of the fastest 4 bangers in the world. I specially like Sakura cuz my dad's cousin, Freddie Fuentes (R.I.P.) built the engine. He fabricated many components.

You've done an impressive job Nathan 
That lake is flatter than a table glass. I really like this pic the most. Is that where you live?! I would kill to live in a place like that But technically it is where I live, and no you don't want to live here. I could go on, but I'll save you from my rant.

Well, I finished my bro's Tercel finally at 11:15am. Runs like new again. The clutch disk it had was slit in two! Looks like the previous owner beat it a lot, and being a Taiwan replacement didn't help it either. Alas it got the same, but my brother doesn't do hard launches (contrary to me) so it should last him a lot.
