Welcome to my car; the ShirleyMobile! It's nickname came from one of my close female friends because it's totally her kind of car. Lol.

Peakster's 1997 Ford Escort


My car in the autotrader. It had 171,023km on it at the time.

I got this car on February 20th 2004 as a gift from my my dad after my 1985 Pontiac Fiero's engine died. So this is my "good reliable car" until it's fixed. It's a completely stock, but highly optioned '97 Escort wagon. What do you think I should do with it?

It's THE Ford Escort... freshly washed! (the Autogallery is where the car was purchased... seems like used car companies have no hesitation to plaster their name on the cars they sell.

A nice JVC CD player... too bad the stock speakers can't handle much bass:

The reason why I call it the ShirleyMobile is because my friend wants to have 4 kids... so this car would be perfect for her when the time comes! Just look at all that space!

The car does have lots of options though.. It has keyless entry, remote start, power door locks, power mirrors, power windows, the optional tachometer, and air conditioning.

This car was sold September 2005.

The Fiero is actually decent in the snow because even though its rear wheel drive, the heavy 2.5L engine right over top gives it good traction. The problem is that the car tends to understeer a lot in the snow when taking corners because the front end is fairly light.

It's a Dad trick, buy the kid a station wagon and every one stays away from it. Just the oppsite happens, you can have a great time with a station wagon and get great gas mileage while your at it.Hey, How well did your fiero drive in the snow? I was to build a kit car using the fiero chassis.
