The saddest thing...

Post by Imprezive »

So I've been driving my 1991 loyale around since my legacy is out of commission. Today I was driving up a hill that had about a 10% grade, and there was an old Justy in front of me. And that is when I realized that our two cars trying to climb that hill was pretty much the most pitiful scene.

I mean, the Justy has 3 cylinders, and my car started out NEW with like 90bhp, who knows where its at now... 70bhp???

I kind of felt embarrassed, but then I thought "hey I'm getting pretty good gas mileage!" and I felt better after that...

well, no one expects you to win the hill climb.... but you must use your lightweight advantage to win the downhill sections!!!

if all else fails, try hooking your inside tire on the lip of a gutter to take corners at rediculous speeds and pass people on the inside ;)

Its ok man I feel your pain. Since its a Loyale, I'm gonna say its a SPFI motor, which has 91chp. My '87 put down 71whp last fall but I make up for it in other areas.... :twisted:
