Got stuck in traffic today. A rare classic broke down.

Today, I was on my way through Hollywood on the Hollywood Freeway coming back from school. Traffic suddenly backed up. Of to the left side along the ancient concrete center divider is a shiny,
ruby red four door sedan with antique blue Cali plates. Because these stupid politicians deciding to encourage the elimination of breakdown lanes on the freeway, this car was stradling both the divider and
half the other lane. There was a squad car and two policemen lending assistance. The emergency lights on this 25 year old vehicle were flashing. It was, and hold your breath:

Actually, I here Tempo is condemned as one of the worst unreliable products, but I personally know of a couple 84-85 models still alive
and running around. I actually like their aerdonynamic styling and strange trim. I here the ones that were not unreliable were
actually quite good.

Erm... yeah. I suppose that equates to saying "they are quite good except for the ones that aren't" :lol:
