I'm new here!
Hello everyone!
Last Saturday I pick up my 08 Mazda 3!! I love the car a lot! It was hard to let my other car go, but it had way to many issues. It was a 91 3.4 Grand Prix 5 speed. Maybe some day I will get it running again..
I love the Mazda though!!!

Hi Stephanie, and Welcome!!
A "91!! Any car that old is liable to have issues. Unless it"s a classic, and I don"t think Grand Prix fall in that category, let it go. Soon, if not now you will have a lot of trouble finding new parts for it. Even I had to give up my beloved Honda Civic after so many years, but they were good years while they lasted. It"s hard, I know from personal experience, but you"ll get over it... more or less.
Hey, at least it was a 5-speed!!

No it is not the Super Coupe Richard, it has the 5.0 HO motor in it and it is RWD Jaimie, in fact the reason it does so lousy in the winter is because it is IRS, but does it handle like a champ in stock form.

Sorry Stephanie. We are REALLY "jacking" your thread here, but...
It seems that a 5.0L in a t-bird would defeat the purpose.(Too heavy)A 5.0L is better served in a Muskrat, and a Muskrat LX (sleeper,) not the GT,yes?
Jaimie, Ahhh, the memories of Canada and snow/ice..... "Glad to be out of all that road salt.That"s what killed my Civic.
