Blown Potential
Why Blown Potential? Because it  was also blown up when I got it...and a RWD version would be so much better.

Why do I have a Probe GT?  Because it was basically given to me.  The motor was blown...the previous owner ran it out of oil.  This really is a nice car though, the interior is very pleasing to the eye and the seats are extremely supportive.  The exterior is a bit "wimpy" looking but not too bad overall.  I don't like front wheel drive vehicles but it serves it's purpose well...it gets around pretty well in the winter as well.  I picked up a longblock out of a crashed 93 Probe and dropped it in.  These motors really respond well to boost but I'm doing all I can to convince myself not to turbocharge it...I don't need any more boosted cars right now.

Yeah, it's a bit rough...just needs some TLC though.  I assure you it will be a nice car before I drive it.


Don't ask me what the previous owner was thinking with this stupid paint scheme...I don't know either.


Uhh...Yeah
