HEY. The Tempo is one of the best fords ever built!! It's your own fault for using it as a daily on public roads and not a race car or bush buggy when it will excel!!
When I was a senior in high school in 1986, I discovered you could do doughnuts in a Tempo if you put the transmission in reverse. I left home for the Navy a couple months later and found out during boot camp my parents had to replace the transmission in the poor thing. I have no idea what might have caused that transmission to fail.
I think I've seen enough Red Green Shows to know what Lemons is all about. "If it ain't broke, you're not trying hard enough." Red of the Red Green Show.
The guy smiling next to lobster girl was grinning so loud and proud that has to be his fiance. He looks like he just won the lottery and if you can find a girl to follow you to lemons and walk around in an inflatable crustacean costume you have just won the lottery haven't you?
1:20 Our Team name is "Dickie Speedmaster Racing"... Not "7/10s racing". Just wanted to get it correct for the record that we are the two time champions at turning ZERO laps and not the more successful 7/10s Racing, who actually turn laps. lol =)
Thats a long time Lemons rule. Don't mistake the sarcasm in these videos for ignorance. They take safety VERY seriously at these events. If you roll, your car is done and you are banned for 1 year. Our team was at an event in 2020 at SC for Lemons and a Mustang hit a Volvo and flipped it on course and even though the Volvo ran and drove afterwords, they still got the ban for rolling.
@@Liminality11 Why the hell would you ban someone who got HIT and rolled? That's not being "serious about safety", that's punishing the wrong driver, period. So the at fault in that case was banned for longer as well? I understand banning the car...but why why driver? I'm all for lemons, but that's a jackass rule. Reminds me of TX DPS levels of arbitrary justification for punishment. If it was "he was banned for doing something reckless that CAUSED a rollover", perfect... but that's not what you just said.
@@phoenixrising4573 Welp... While you do have a point. Nick and Jay would say that it is clearly listed in the Lemons rules on their website. If you don't like the rules, don't compete. Chapter 6, section 3: 6.3 Why Am I Upside-Down? Rule: You’re upside-down because you have no business being out on a racetrack. Any driver who puts a car on its roof is out for 12 months. Any car that rolls during a race will be removed from the race.
@@Liminality11 Ok so they're not ffollowing their own rule then. The rule says if the driver puts it on it's roof: being hit by someone else and flipped is not the drivers fault. Just because they list it in the rules, doesn't make it not...jackass, and apparently not even part of their own rules, just a made up interpretation to prove they can do it. I like nick and jay, but man, sometimes they do and say crap that make me scratch my head...
My aunt had a '94 or so Tempo, and it was actually a great car. It had a nice ride, it sort of handled, and for some reason, it had six way power seats. Felt like a queen, she did.
Any chance you will be coming to the brand new ozark international raceway in gravois mills, mo? Imsa gt is coming... would love to see (or race in) the lemons!
I give praise to the gm gods. For they have bequeathed us the 3.8 series. I will pin thy throttle in your honor… Try and get one out of a later Regal GS. They did something different with those motors. They were harder for us to pop
My dad had a ford tempo and that car never quit. all the abuse that an east coast climate and horrible roads couldn't kill it. He gave it to my sister when she finished high school and she drove it until the tires wore out. When she found out how much new tires would cost she sold it. I think it may still be running some back road.

you guys always manage to one up the ridiculousness, instating a judge cause he was banned from racing for a year and didnt have anything better to do sounds like satire lmao
@@OhCrapItsJimmy it’s a running gag that the guy who is serious enough to run a BMW is the kind of guy who would put a whole bunch or cheaty, over 500$ mods on said BMW
Well, I don't know how Ginger Race Team keeps that 777 car running (535 I think? - w/ a BMW V8?), but it's a good thing they upgraded the headlights so I can see them in the rear view and get the fk out of their way!

The Tempo is "One of the best Fords ever built"... Kinda tells you something about Fords, now doesn't it? 😂

There used to be a Mercury Topaz in my town that had a windshield visor sticker that read "Souped Up Tempo".

I regret not keeping my Diesel Topaz for Lemons. I made the mistake of bringing a Miata to Gingerman instead.
Should have put the Miata floorpan and drivetrain under the Topaz, to replace all the rusted out parts near the floor.

You got the Rosary beads backwards. The Hail Marys were lemons, the Our Fathers were cars
AS an e39 owner, I'm blushing over yawl thinking a 20 year old BMW is "late model"
The stock 40lb polycast wheels make the Tempo just that much better. Gawd I hated changing those back in the day.

I think he was trying to turn the crossover back into a hatchback, for centre-of-gravity reasons.
Great fun to watch as always. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Once again shenanigans from start to finish. We love to see it.

Just for giggles, has anyone tried to run an old dodge caravan?
look like he knows whats up... then down then up again.
