--THE STORY--

In August of 2006, my summer job occasionally involved me catching a ride with my boss in his car, a black 1992 Mercury Topaz GS coupe. I found this relatively mediocre vehicle interesting because my aunt has a red 1993 Mercury Topaz GS coupe, like this one, having the 4 cylinder engine and automatic transaxle.

August 2007: I go back to work for the same employer. Sometime before January of '07, he had purchased a replacement vehicle (1992 Sunbird GT), and the Topaz had just been sitting on the street. While traveling to work on one occasion, I am informed that he wants to get rid of the Topaz. I ask how much, and he tells me it's mine for nothing (legally: $1) if I want it. I very gladly accepted the offer, and on September 23 2007 took the bus to meet the tow truck at my boss' home.

$40 and 30 minutes later, the Topaz is in my driveway!

To see more of my car and what I intend to do with it, view the rest of the pages in this site. A lot needs to be done, and after that I have some interesting plans for custom work.
