just wanted to say hi...

before i start posting more regularly.  my name is josh, and i live in kansas city, mo.  i've had a total of 6 turbocoupes and i'm actually going to look at another one tonight after work.  i've got a 91 ranger with a 2.3 turbo in it as well... that's my baby.  it's nowhere near stock and i'm actually hoping to break 10's with it (probably not this season, but next for sure).

for the past 10 years i think i've only been without a thunderbird for about a year.  i love these cars.  the cougars are nice too, but there's just something about the mid-late 80's turbocoupes that pulls at my heart strings.

there's still a lot that i don't know, but there is also a lot that i do know... especially about the 2.3 turbo motor itself.  so, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Love the taurus.  Parents bought an 86 Taurus MT5 brand new.  Needless to say that car wouldn't die.  Since then we've owned about 8 taurus'.  Gotta love a 5 speed taurus. :D
