This was one of those cars that just drove fast. I couldn't make myself drive slow so after I got a rather
expensive ticket for going 93 in a 55 zone coming back from Rocky Point, I decided it was time to sell it and
buy a slow car. That turned out to be the Bronco II and my ticket problems were solved. I had a hard time
selling it and wound up taking a Probe and $500 for it. I later sold the Probe for $1600.

When I bought the car, it had the 17" rims on it that you see in the pictures as well as some ugly "custom"
carpet glued to many of the interior panels. It also had a wood grain steering wheel that wasn't half bad.
While I was told it had a cam in it, I don't think that was true. I was also told it was full of high end speakers,
but I cannot confirm this as it had no deck in it from the time I bought it to the time it was stolen and the
speakers were ripped out. I made no additional modifications to the car.

I found this car when a Bombardier co-worker told me his brother was selling his mustang in November of
2001. I went over to the guy's south side house and found the car parked in the front yard with a flat tire
and a dead battery. The asking price was $2500. I helped the guy put air in the tire and jump the car only
to find the car ran pretty bad. Sounded like a cam lope. The owner told me it had a cam in it and when I
drove it, it pulled strong at higher rpms. I took it home for $2000. After a trip to Robert's Garage, I was
informed that the poor idle was due to a head gasket blown between cylinders. I changed the head gasket
with the car parked in the street and the car ran great ever after. One Saturday night Darrel Lee Malvern
jumped out of his stolen Saturn and stole this car that was parked down the street because our next door
neighbor would call the cops if I parked in front of my own house. He then did a U-turn in our front yard,
left a pair of stripes leaving our neighborhood, then successfully ran from the police who tried to pull him
over. I got the car back maybe a month later with a broken tail light, no speakers, bald rear tires, missing
locking lugs, no mirror, a bunch of ricer stickers, full of shop lifted clothing, and a new key. Also known as
a flat screw driver. I actually liked this car a lot. It was fun to drive, was much faster than TTR-005, looked
pretty cool, and had the most powerful air conditioning of any other car I have known. This car was also a
successful street racing warrior but my most memorable race was a rare loss. A loss to TTR-004. Largely
due to lack of traction due to a lack of the posy traction that TTR-004 had. The open differential also
made the car difficult to drift and was it's only major drawback.
