I saw this thing a couple days ago. I wonder if it didn't rear-end (insert flamer joke here) another car that caught fire? It has definite front end damage, and it's certainly not like a Q to burst into flames.

actualy its a rare devolpmental car left over from a joint venture between ford and nissan , ford wanted to see if they could build a car that burst into flames in the front instead of the back on impact , dont worry they only made one , it is powered by a 300 inline 6 and a c6 automatic

he says theres good parts under the hood ,wonder what that is ....suppose it threw a rod ? seen many a fire after the engine decided to spit out a rod .....

Hello Mr. Smith that Pristine Q you just sold me has a problem.

Hello, OilyMart [aka SlugoLube] about that kid who changed my fuel filter.orOH! Sen. Dashcle, are you sure [South Dakota] Corn made Ethanol is good for older cars. [secret plan to remove all pre 96 from the road]....burning a car causes less green house gases than running it.

Good example of how the metal partition got its name...firewall!

They claim that is a 94, but aren't those 95/95 wheels?

Did the roast and toast alternator effect the 94 and 95 Q or is that just a 97 and up phenomenum?
