Thats me in the suv (2001 kia sportage) and Eovnu87435ds in the taurus.

I just did a timing belt on a Sorento 3.3l V-6 last week, not that bad. I think it's a rebadged mitsubishi motor. Generally good power, but it has an additional tranny cooler which makes me think the tranny may be underrated for that motor... I'd say it's a good disposable vehicle, drive it till it needs a significant repair, then sell it as a parts car.

Glad to see that there still some young kids that like to have fun in an empty snow covered parking lot.

Exactly!

Creative kids can have fun with an unmolested canvas!

Parking lot, cardboard box, etc etc.

But a full tank of gas make it better

Nice 360! I think it should be mandatory for new drivers to play around a little and learn in a safe place.

I used to do that kind of stuff on dry parking lots. Lots of tire smoke and noise. I got arrested once, cop told me it was the most impressive display he had ever seen. It was a big parking lot and my big block truck was doing at least 60mph the whole time. Good fun, until you get caught!!!!

Kias aren't bad, but they do not usually age gracefully.

Waiting for the fe3 mazda based engine to dump its guts out.. then i wanna put in something like a ford v6 out of a mustang with a single turbo. high revver'. tough finding a way to utilize the stock 4wd.

No cops their. the parking lot is in the back of my old high school. The only entrances are 25 degree inclines, so with any snow a 2wd police cruiser cant make it up. Its an oasis!

Question - How did the POS Taurus get up the ramp?

A fearless driver and a 30mph running start.
