[Shotimes] OT: AWD Tempo

[Ron Nottingham]

I had a V6 Tempo (92 GLS), put 100k on it, gas, tires, oil, and a battery.
No problems at all. Really was a great car, didn't like the rat trap seat
belts though.  Not very strong body wise, however, as it was hit in the back
end and effectively became a 2-door, 2-seater, instead of a 4-door, 4-seater
:-(
